2025-05-18 13:00 - 14:30, 2025-05-25 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Chicago) | Saint Paul Brewing, 688 Minnehaha Ave E, St Paul, Minnesota, 55106, United States
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and Hamm’s was not only one of them, but it grew to be the fifth largest brewery in the nation after Prohibition was repealed.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.

Solar safety

Sunspotters use a different method to safely view the Sun. They utilize mirrors and lenses to project the Sun safely onto a screen (piece of paper). You can draw/trace your own Sun and sunspots to start your own solar data log.

Our telescope equipment utilizes safe Sun viewing methods; filtering the sunlight and projecting the sunlight.

Solar filters include white light filters that block 99.999 percent of incoming sunlight, safely allowing us to see any sunspots that might be visible.

H-alpha SolarMax II telescope filters out all the colors of sunlight except a specific red light (656nm) to allow us to see features such as solar prominences along the edge of the Sun.

Solar Observing is an in-person event at the Bell Museum and is included in the cost of regular admission.
