BlackStack Brewing

The Johnson family has had a long love affair with great beer. In the 1990s, patriarch Scott Johnson owned All Saints Brands, Inc., a distribution company that helped bring European classics like La Trappe, Tripel Karmeliet, and Pauwel Kwak to Minnesota.
​
After years of careful planning and hard work, the entire family launched BlackStack Brewing in 2017. As company owners and leaders, they take a hands-on approach to running the business. If you stop at the brewery on any given day, you’ll likely find one of the Johnsons stocking inventory, checking on the newest beer recipe, or serving a customer.

Although Scott Johnson passed away in 2023, the Johnson family—matriarch Shawne Murphy Johnson and her three kids, Murphy, Cooper, and Quinn—continued the work they started in 2017, with plans to expand into new markets throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Blackstack Brewing is what it is because of the people who lead it, and we couldn’t have more passionate and driven owners.
