Hayes' Public House - Buffalo, MN3/10/2023 Get to know your brewer @hayespublichouse.
Meet Pugs. He’s the owner, head brewer, and flat cap extraordinaire at Hayes’ Public House in Buffalo, MN. The only place with SIX beer engines in the state! Together, with his right hand man, Jake, they make some of the best traditional ales in MN. • Hayes’ opened its doors on November 19th, 2013. • Prior to the brewery opening, Pugs had been home brewing for about seven years. • The first beer he brewed at Hayes’ was their Irish Stout, still his go-to beer. It is simply one of the best beers they have, especially on the hand-pull. • Hayes’ brews off of a 7 bbl system by @pdxkettleworks, artfully engineered to brew high-gravity beers (it can be pushed to 8 bbls, if needed). They have four 7 bbl fermenters and one 15 bbl fermenter. • The hardest challenge for Pugs has been staying relevant in a world of ever-changing beer trends. Staying on top of your creative game is vital. • Future plans for the brewery include expanding into different packaging sizes for customers. They would love to be able to expand the taproom to accommodate more seating as well. • Reasons to stop by Hayes’ are their six traditional hand pulls, live music, and a patio that overlooks Buffalo Lake. Also, they plan on having a three day event for St. Patrick’s Day next weekend. 🍀 • His favorite lawnmower beer would be either @hammsthebeer or @oldstylebeer. • When he’s not brewing, you can catch Pugs at car shows, music events, or even swing dancing with his lady. He loves to cruise around in his 1946 Chevy Coupe. If you get the chance, pick a day next weekend to go visit one of the most authentic Irish taprooms in Minnesota for St. Paddy’s. That Irish Stout on the beer engine will be worth it.
