Here at the Golden Lantern Inn, we are excited about the newest addition to the Red Wing tradition. It’s been a long wait- sixty years since the last one closed – but this month Red Wing will see the opening of a new craft brewery. The Red Wing Brewing Company is set to open it’s doors sometime this month, they are just waiting for the beer to age to perfection. This microbrewery plans to revive some old time recipes, including Remmler’s Royal Brew and Red Wing Premium, as well as introducing some new craft beers. They will also make a house root beer. These brews will be available only on site, so plan a trip to Red Wing to try out our newest attraction. The Red Wing Brewing Company will also serve sandwiches, soups and other lighter fare.
