Cheers to 100 Years: High Yield Pale Ale Launches with Celebration of Collaboration

5/28/2025

 
​Last week, credit union leaders, community partners, and local supporters gathered at Broken Clock Cooperative Brewing in Minneapolis to raise a glass to a century of people helping people—and to celebrate the launch of High Yield Pale Ale, a limited-edition craft beer created in partnership between the Minnesota Credit Union Network and Broken Clock. A portion of proceeds from each sale supports the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation’s financial literacy initiatives across the state.

Attendees had the opportunity to sample the beer, meet the team behind the project, and learn how to get involved by:
  • Serving High Yield Pale Ale at member or community events
  • Sharing the story with members who want to support the cause
  • Helping bring the beer to local shelves and taps through credit union small business partnerships

Mid Minnesota FCU Shares High Yield Pale Ale with Members and Community
“At Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union’s annual meeting on May 21, we took the opportunity to not only report on the achievements of our credit union and a focus on the future. We also celebrated the 100 years milestone of credit unions in Minnesota, which included our Board Chair Greg Lange sharing highlights from the spring MN CUN conference, playing the 100th Anniversary History video, and giving each member a can of the High Yield Pale Ale. Bob Gerads, our CEO, had the idea of incorporating the beer when it was announced as being available.
The online request form was completed, but we also reached out to MnCUN directly since the timeline was tight and there weren’t any current distributers in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Jeremy from Broken Clock Brewing Co-Op presented two options: personally driving up our order OR helping get a local distributer. In a matter of days both were accomplished!

Jeremy personally delivered 10 cases to our Annual Meeting location and made deliveries to a local distribution partner. So, when delighted members received their can and asked where they could get more, we were able to tell them Westside Liquors! This celebration was a win for our members, a local business, and the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation! Cheers!”
