I've got all the pre-hunt guesses logged (though it's not too late to join in). We have 20 participants already. Here is where people are at thus far:

Battle Creek 30 Central Park 30 Como 29 Tony Schmidt 16 Hidden Falls 11 Acorn 10 College 10 Trout Brook 10 Cherokee 8 Crosby 8 Harriet 8 Snail Lake 7 Applewood 4 Bald Eagle 4 Highland 4 Shoreview Commons 3 Lakewood Hills 2 Long Lake 2 Phalen 2 Swede Hollow 2

I apologize as I forgot to post this earlier. The Golden Beer Can is still out there! Clue #7 will be released Tuesday at 6pm at St. Paul Brewing.

Clue #1

From all throughout our realm we call treasure hunters home to St. Paul

To invite you each, one and all to seek our golden can of beer.

On public land is where it hides. Let city limits be your guides.

Prepare to take a lot of strides if you’re going to walk from here.

 

And thus St. Paul Brewing extends this invite to our darling friends

Where your hunting success depends on finding water of three kinds.

There’s a happy end to this tale if you stay off the beaten trail.

Articles provide some detail, but not the ones that cover finds.

 

Clue #2

Even with all the time you’ve got, a picnic this pursuit is not.

We’ve picked a rather rustic spot that doesn’t evoke the city.

You’re not going to need a ball, no vendors there as we recall.

Really, mostly nothing at all, but with snow the hills are pretty.

 

Clue #3

While our can sits on ground quite dry, a changing current is nearby.

Paddling might help you should you try, but no need for you to get wet.

Catalogs you may disregard, and getting letters can prove hard

But count an old-styled postcard as what people would love to get.

 

Clue #4

Since it’s not easy being green, blue and purple it sits between.

Just lying in a sylvan scene where many more trees used to grow.

If it helps you determine where, look in a park that’s far from square.

Because there’s a lot of land there we can get by without much snow.

 

Clue #5

Best not to take the interstate when going to town twenty-eight.

But finding a Montville estate puts you in the right neighborhood.

There’s a definite point to start, but from that path you must depart.

As you’re walking it would be smart to gain sight of water and wood.

 

Clue #6

You want to get this hunt begun? Look everywhere under the sun.

This engagement will not be won until your mark you plainly see.

Locating the place where it sits can take a fair amount of wits.

Surely you didn't think that it’s elementary as can be?

Good catch. What I posted was copied from the master copy. The brewery then takes it and makes up the version that gets posted there. They must have accidentally capitalized interstate, but it wasn't intended to be.

Good Evening-I have been noodling the capital letters in the posted clues on Facebook. I notice the word Interstate is capitalized on Facebook but it is not below. Can you tell me which one is correct? The clues mentioned “letters” so I’ve been keeping my eye on any letters that seem to stand out. Thanks for any clarification. Kim

Julie, I'm afraid that totals 11 guesses and you only get 10.

Are you sure about Indian Mounds Park? That's actually excluded according to the official rules.
