People Powered Party! Craft Brew Collaboration Celebration!

Join the People Powered Party! 🎙️
KAXE is hitting the road! We want to celebrate the People Powered Pilsner launch with you.
If you haven’t heard, this isn’t just a beer; it’s a collective effort to support the independent voice of Northern Minnesota. The KAXE Board teamed up with our friends at Jack Pine, Klockow, and Bemidji Brewing to create a German-American Pilsner that honors our community. By pairing richly flavorful German heirloom malt with bright American hops, we’ve created a highly drinkable, effervescent lager with crisp citrus and spicy floral notes.
The best part? Every sip supports the stories and music you love. A portion of the profits from every People Powered Pilsner sold will be donated back to KAXE / KBXE.
Join our radio family! We want to see you at our official People Powered Party!
