Hamm's Brewery Ruins Montage St Paul MN

This is a collection of now and then pictures of the former Hamm's Saint Paul brewery that I have been collecting for the past 4-5 years. I decided to finally put them all in one place where to the best of my ability in order of sections of the building, to show what it was like and what it looks like now.
About 90% of the pictures I have taken myself and of course the historic ones were taken from the Minnesota Historical Society database. Other shots such as Flat Earth Brewery and Urban Organics were taken from Twincities.com, the Star Tribune, Clewell Photography and The Growler Magazine and others were from random internet searches years ago and have since forgotten their sources, sorry.
Hope you enjoy!

    My Dad worked there for perhaps 30 years - he retired in 1978 or around then - we went to his party and learned stuff about our Dad we did not know - one of those things was his peers called him "Rocky".

    This makes me so sad. I still buy my Hamm's here in Memphis at Kroger. Glad I can get it. Sad for the history of the old breweries in MN.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! So sad to see such a massive complex brought to ruins!! My Grandpa, N.P. McLean was the first beer distributor in the state of Minnesota and his first line was Hamms❤We had Hamms paraphernalia throughout the house growing up. My fifth grade teacher was not impressed with me wearing a Hamm's T-shirt to school-lol!

    Does anyone remember the restaurant in St. Paul called "Sky Blue Waters"? It was close to where Target is on Suburban Ave. Maybe where Lenscrafters was/is.

    Hamm's made good beer. Really sad to see the graffiti-covered bones of the old brewery.

    Some buildings are still starting but the ones that were torn down were apparently not useful as anything else which is ironic because nowadays they are turning random buildings into condos and etc
