Hunt for the Golden Beer Can — January 2025

StPaulBrewing

Clue #1

If you should want a beer that’s cold, then seek out ours, it’s good as gold.
The true standard in days of old, alcohol was just down the street.
In St. Paul we will play our game, where a park and street share a name.
A split tree will direct your aim, somewhere away from the concrete.

Clue #2

In this park some grass goes unshaved, nor are each of the trees behaved,
And not all the edges are paved. Still, you’ll find a fine place to sit.
The direction it’s best begun? In the shade of the morning sun.
For that is where this hunt is won, once you get it into your mitt.

Clue #3

Look up for a chance at success. Step down and you might find distress.
To go high or low? It's your guess. Perhaps either way you'll be okay.
But as you wander to and fro, going maybe high, maybe low.
You might just think to yourself, oh! I've already been Ths way!"

Clue #4

This year's park indeed has a name, though it was not always the same.
It's not clear who did first proclaim, but it is a park we all know.
If your car needs a parking spot you will find that there is a lot
Six they used to say for this plot that was partly barns long ago.

Clue #5

It's one hundred eighty degrees on the inside among some trees.
Outside our treasure is sure to freeze because it is close to zero.
Nix the unfriendly attitude, and soon you will feel gratitude
Giving you some good latitude to become a hunting hero.

Clue #6

Old McDonald, he had no farm, but a fool thinks he had no charm.
It's alright, this is it, no harm if you were to keep forgetting.
It was the best that you can do, playing together wi th your crew,
It even keeps you running too, towards the treasure we're betting.

Clue #7

Though he had wanted to help all, it really took a lot of gall.
Later on, no one would play ball. He was disappointed for sure.
Between just you and me a stroll proves helpful to body and soul,
For if you're not feeling quite whole, it might help to seek out the cure.

Clue #8

Two men who held office most high are not to be found all that nigh,
Yet they matter, and this is why—between them you'll rake in your pay.
Water is something to avoid, though a bit of ice was employed.
Don't slip or you'll be annoyed before heading out old Tom's way.

Clue #9

An island park I would suggest, stick to the side that's labelled "West."
Parking near the shelter is best. Between two paths we end this story.
There you will find a pond gone dry, with a small double stump nearby,
The number one you'll want to spy, then fifty-five steps to glory.
