Event Information

Saint Paul Brewing resides within the former stables, carpentry shop, and keg wash house of the original Hamm’s Brewery. Only one hundred breweries survived Prohibition and Hamm’s was not only one of them, but it grew to be the fifth largest brewery in the nation after Prohibition was repealed. Come on the tour of Saint Paul Brewing and learn the fascinating history including the story of how William Hamm Jr. was kidnapped for ransom, and what happened such that this campus of massive buildings is no longer where Hamm’s is brewed.Tours are $15 per person and include a can of Hamm’s beer, craft samples brewed by Saint Paul Brewing, and a pint of choice at the end of the tour. Tour groups are limited to 20 people at a time, thus the importance of booking your reservation in advance. Tours are guided by Jimmy Keebs, who started working on site for the former Flat Earth Brewing and wrote this tour spanning the history of Theo Hamm Brewing Co, Pabst, Olympia, and Stroh Brewing Co. here on site to the present day of Saint Paul Brewing. Keebs is an actor around the Twin Cities film scene having appeared in many feature and short films.

TIM HARMSTON & MARY MACK at SHELDON THEATRE
2025-05-17 19:30 - 21:00 | Sheldon Theatre, 443 West 3rd St, Red Wing, Minnesota, 55066
This husband-and-wife powerhouse is teaming up to co-headline an amazing night of comedy bliss!

Tim Harmston

Nationally touring stand up comedian, Tim Harmston, started his comedy career in 2002 at the Mall of America, of all places. A year later he won Acme Comedy Company’s 2003 Funniest Person in the Twin Cities contest, going on to open for such stars as Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan, and Louie Anderson, and is now a respected headliner in his own right.

Early in his career, a famous comedian told Tim, “You’re kind of like an idiot, but with smart material.” That winning combination has led to appearances on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, The Bob and Tom Radio Show, and Wisconsin Public Radio.

Mary Mack

A hybrid of Minnesota and Wisconsin (with a severe cheese dependency), comedian Mary Mack is a favorite on radio shows and podcasts around the country including The Bob and Tom Show, Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast, and The Grand Ole Opry. Mary played the leading character, Dylan, on Fox’s cartoon Golan the Insatiable, season one. This year, she plays a lead character in the Hulu cartoon Solar Opposites by the creators of Rick and Morty. She’s appeared in Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival, HBO’s Andy Kaufman Awards, San Francisco’s Sketchfest, and the Dry Bar comedy series. Mack’s television credits include Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, TBS’ Conan, Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force and NBC’s Last Comic Standing and Last Call with Carson Daly. When not touring, Mary spends way too much time and money working on her vintage camper in the woods of Northern Wisconsin.

“Mary Mack is the most creative female comic I’ve ever seen. Very subtle, very character-driven, very funny.”

“…he [Tim] brings a visceral, contagious goofiness to the stage that is genuinely welcoming.”
