Hennepin Avenue Bridge and Grain Belt Beer Sign

The iconic and vibrant Grain Belt Beer sign reflecting on the calm Mississippi River at the Hennepin Avenue Bridge in downtown Minneapolis at night creates a symmetrical effect. The bridge is illuminated, adding depth to the city's skyline. The Grain Belt Beer Sign is a historic sign on Nicollet Island in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was originally built as a neon sign displaying a bottle cap of Grain Belt beer for the Marigold Ballroom in 1941. At the time of its construction, it was one of the largest neon signs in the United States. In 1950, it was moved to its current location on Nicollet Island. After the Grain Belt brewery closed in the 1970s, the sign fell into disuse and disrepair. An effort to renovate and remodel the sign took place in the 2010s, with the sign undergoing conversion from neon to LEDs in 2017. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
