When cooperatives collaborate, communities win

2025 marks the International Year of Cooperatives, and across the globe, co-ops are leaning into what makes our model powerful: shared purpose, community focus, and a commitment to helping people.

At the Minnesota Credit Union Network, we’re celebrating our 100th anniversary this year as well. And in the spirit of that milestone and Cooperative Principle #6: Cooperation Among Cooperatives—we decided to mark the occasion with a unique collaboration.

One that you can toast.

We’ve partnered with Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, a Minneapolis-based, member-owned brewery, to launch High Yield Pale Ale—a special-release beer brewed by a cooperative, for cooperatives.

It’s more than a catchy name. High Yield Pale Ale is a story in a glass—a symbol of what’s possible when co-ops cross sectors and combine their strengths. Credit unions and craft brewers might not seem like obvious collaborators, but we share a core belief: when people come together around shared values, good things happen.

Even better? A portion of proceeds from High Yield goes to the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation, supporting financial literacy and empowerment efforts across the state. Every pint helps fund education that changes lives.
