14 Lakes Brewery

14 Lakes is named after our distinct Whitefish Chain of lakes, and is located in the heart of the city Crosslake, MN.

14 Lakes was conceived when a building owned by couple Cindy and Steve Guttormson became vacant, giving way to the perfect opportunity to build their dream. After putting word out that they were looking for a brewmaster, they were soon introduced to homebrewer Dan Trombley. Dan soon perfected his craft and brought his experience to 14 Lakes, where he brews all the beers you see today. Come and explore our taproom, and see all that 14 Lakes has to offer.

World's Largest Wild Rice Festival

For more than 70 years, the Deer River area has celebrated the World's Largest Wild Rice Festival. Originally, the festival was established to bring the community together to celebrate the abundance of one of the area's natural staples, wild rice. Though wild rice still grows abundantly in some of the area lakes and rivers, the advent of "paddy rice" which is grown commercially and harvested mechanically, has made the once regional product a national available commodity.
