Which beer is from the "land of sky blue waters"?

The story behind the answer

Hamm’s is the beer associated with the “Land of Sky Blue Waters.” The phrase comes from Hamm’s advertising and a jingle that promoted the brand’s connection with Minnesota’s lakes, forests, and natural scenery.

The beer was produced by the Theodore Hamm Brewing Company, founded in 1865 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Hamm’s marketing emphasized the purity of its water and used outdoors imagery, including the brand’s famous bear mascot. The slogan became one of the most recognizable advertising lines in American beer history.

“Land of sky-blue waters” is also a poetic nickname for Minnesota, a state known for its many lakes. The expression is not a formal beer style or an indication that Hamm’s comes from a place literally named Sky Blue Waters. It is a brand slogan and regional association, which is why Hamm’s is the canonical quiz answer.
