When Timmy Haus is performing at Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais be sure to get there early if you want a seat. He’s an amazing performer who locals love to listen to and visitors wonder who is this guy?
Timmy Haus is a singer/songwriter and full time professional musician from Northern Minnesota. His music draws from different genres and many musical influences. He regularly performs solo or duo acoustic shows and creates his own blend of “acoustic eclectic”. On stage live is where he is most at home. Audience members and club owners alike have been quoted saying: “He sounds more like a band then a one man show” and “Interaction with the audience was refreshing.”

Voyageur Brewing Company Live Music- Matthew Griswold
2017-01-27 16:00 - 19:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Live Music, craft beer, tasty appetizers and a view of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Minnesota based Folk-Rock singer/songwriter and active musicologist, Matthew Griswold, is currently playing hundreds of his modern day minstrel-like shows each year. Though a “solo” performer in trade title, he carries a chorus of layered guitars and an array of dynamic vocal themes. Those elements are all then supported by a boot strapped foot stomping on a cigar box foot drum keeping a sacred element to the music.
Griswold’s performances are rugged, haunting, howling, bone-shaking affairs where all of the grit and soul of a man who has seen the war torn battlefields of Iraq, yet still sought hope after the worst of it’s tragedies, are brought forth through one voice and one guitar. He confidently leaves his crowds cradled in subtleties, but rocked with an undeniable presence. Those who witness him live, will experience a musician who inhabits, and is inhabited by, his music as if it were a spiritual transformation allowing him to become a fearless poet calling out through a cadence and dancing in the dragon’s den.
He has crafted an arrangement style of his own (“Hypno-tonic Grooves”),
which he employs to reinvent classics, adapt traditional standards, and plug original work that stand in tribute to their deep lineage. With a well-honed talent, ego-less work ethic, and applied insights of ethnomusicology tilting the odds in his favor, Griswold has become one of the country’s most active independent working musicians. He has over ten years of strategic millage marked by thousands of live performances and hundreds of intriguing press features. Just barely in his 30s, he continues to build a dense catalog of works to be preserved by those he proudly refers to as “Witnesses of a Fellowship”.
Griswold has gained both industry notoriety and scholar respect as a Contemporary Folk music maker, and while having had many of his original songs and compositions used in various films, TV shows and commercials around the world through an elite contract with Universal Music Publishing, no matter where you find footing, you’re never far from someone who has likely been spellbound by the sounds that flow beside the howling edge of his hopeful hymns.

Cold Hunter Beer Release
2017-02-16 15:00 - 21:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Join us for the release of our Cold Hunter Milk Stout!

Milk Stout
4.8% ABV – 16IBUs
Grain Bill: Stout Malt, Crystal 60, Roasted Barley, Black Malt
Hops: East Kent Goldings
Flavorings: Lactose
Yeast: Timothy Taylor

Cold Hunter is a smooth, clean Irish Stout with lactose added to provide a creamy, full-flavored pint that starts sweet yet finishes dry.

The pursuit of a cold beer could be the start of your adventure from the couch to the refrigerator, and then to the backyard or a lake. We all seek a cold beer from time to time but far fewer seek a cold mountain. Our resident adventurer Lonnie Dupre has sought cold for over thirty years. Alaska, Russia, Canada, Greenland and the North Pole have all been hosts to his Arctic pursuits. This year marked his first attempt at a solo climb of Hunter Mountain in Denali, Alaska. Narrowly escaping death by using his ice axe to arrest his fall into a crevasse, he survived but didn’t reach the summit. He named his solo expedition Cold Hunter One for his first attempt of summiting Mount Hunter in the winter. High wind, deep snow and extreme cold are not things the average person seeks. This beer meets that stubborn lust for adventure in pursuit of new discoveries and a comforting reward at the end of your journey. We hope this beer brings you every bit of satisfaction and contentment that the top of a cold mountain brings Lonnie.

Voyageur Hootenanny
2017-03-04 13:00 - 15:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Voyageur Brewing Company is celebrating Owls on Saturday, March 4th
Our Boreal Double IPA bottles have a wonderful drawing of a Boreal Owl on them. Whoo drew that magnificent owl? Our resident artist and beertender, Cynthi Burton, that’s whoo. You can read more about Cynthi below but first read about what is happening on Saturday, March 4th at Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais, MN.
Beep the Saw-What Owl
Hunter and Beep from Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center will be visiting us from 1:30pm-3pm. Hunter is a great horned owl and Beep is a saw-whet owl and they will accompany Wildlife Director Erin Waldorf. She’ll present information about owls and will have owl artifacts and pellets on hand. It’s an awesome opportunity to get an up close and personal view of some amazing creatures.
We love Cynthi’s owl design so much we thought we should have a coloring contest. Cynthi adapted the artwork so we can all enjoy creating our own unique boreal owl. Feel free to bring in your own pens, colors or pencils and do your best work. For those who want to enter their picture into the coloring contest we’ll be judging at 3pm. You are welcome to color after that as well.
In addition, if you have any of your own owl artwork to share then please feel free to bring it for display in the brewery from 12-3pm. We’d love to see your photos, carvings or other owlish creations. We hope you will join us so we can have some fun owltogether.
Artwork by Cynthia Burton
Cynthi is also responsible for the witty and playful chalkboard drawings, and some mesmerizing playlists on our sound system.
Cynthi grew up on Greenwood Lake, and was an only child for a long time. In her many quiet hours of solitude she would make use of the art supplies her mom gave her, and draw nature scenes and designs for hours, which spilled over into her notebooks at school. She describes her style as hyper-realistic and keeps a notebook and art supplies in her car. She uses all mediums, but favors pencil and watercolor, and is inspired by Instagram artists such as Jeff Niesen, and National Geographic. She’s designed many tattoos for other people as well as herself. Her artwork isn’t available anywhere else at the moment, but we hope that changes soon.
Cynthi’s favorite beer was our Moonshadow Mocha Stout, but since that’s no longer available she contents herself with Palisade Porter on nitro.
