To commemorate 100 years of credit unions in Minnesota, the Minnesota Credit Union Network (MnCUN) partnered with Broken Clock Cooperative Brewing to launch High Yield Pale Ale—a limited-edition beer brewed by a cooperative, for cooperatives.
Unveiled during a special event in May at Broken Clock’s taproom in Minneapolis, the collaboration brought together credit union leaders and community partners to toast a century of “people helping people.”
Brewed by Broken Clock Cooperative Brewing—a member-owned, Minneapolis-based brewery—the beer reflects the shared values of the credit union movement: cooperation, local empowerment, and community impact. Proceeds from the beer support the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation’s financial education initiatives, reinforcing both partner’s commitment to financial well-being.
“This collaboration brings together two cooperatives built on the same values—serving members, empowering communities, and creating impact,” said Mara Humphrey, President & CEO of the Minnesota Credit Union Network. “High Yield Pale Ale reflects the credit union difference in a fresh, approachable way. It’s a celebration of 100 years—and a toast to the future of our movement.”
High Yield Pale Ale will be available throughout 2025 at credit union-hosted events, community festivals, and select retail locations throughout Minnesota.
