9 Best Craft Breweries near Chaska

“Have now been here three times and it is consistently good. Wide enough selection for most tastes. From a sour to a wheat to pilsners to IPAs.Nice views across a valley and the staff is friendly.Rough drive up off the highway though! Need a little paving there.“

“Been a few times for beer but this time I came for coffee and to do some work. It was a really chill place to come work and I love that they've got bottomless drip coffee; just need to pop back up to the bar to grab a refill. Everyone I've talked to there has been super helpful and friendly. Always willing to answer any questions and give recommendations. They've got some pastries from Brittner's next door, standard bar snacks, and N/A options. Only open until 12 on Mondays but you can always roll straight from coffee to beer depending on how your day's going! They hold a lot of events and fundraisers for local groups, which is awesome to see. Their beer is good and it's a great change of pace from the trendy, industrial-chic spots I normally get to. Will probably add this coffee shop to my regular remote work rotation.“

“Cool spot with nice wrap around bar with plenty of seating. Attached Mexican kitchen is a big bonus. Family friendly. Now, most importantly, the beer. The Bock was excellent; hit all the marks on what a Bock beer embodies. Their flagship Traitor IPA was also very good. Like Arnold said, "I'll be bock."“

“Coffee cream ale was great. Very nice space offering a lot a seating options including couches. Golf simulator looked like a lot of fun. Service could have been better and they wouldn’t sell me a crowler of coffee cream ale because they were running out of 4 other kinds beers they had on tap. Didn’t fully understand that. After seeing someone else get a crowler made for them. Lol.“

“Unmapped is the perfect neighborhood brewery! Great beer, welcoming and open space, and bonus coffee shop connected! We love being able to walk to this brewery and often see friends and neighbors there. It truly is a staple in the community and a great place to gather!“

“Excellent experience! Amazing atmosphere & really great wine.Huge credit also goes to Emilyn, she was very nice & took the time to explain the differences between our wine tasting. Great customer service & awesome positive energy that she provided.The venue smells wonderful and the cleanliness is immaculate. Highly recommend!“

“Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name!) and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!“

“Love Enki; it’s on my regular brewery rotation. Beer is excellent and space is wonderful. Half price beer at happy hour—give me some! The Ponder Pale Ale is one of my 2023 summer faves. And, I wish all food establishments would switch to the automatic service charge model—much easier on customers and fair to workers.“

“Stopped here in between events at Paisley Park to kill time. Coffee bar hours are from 8am-2pm so there was a limited coffee menu available.Ordered the hot nitro with a shot of dark chocolate. Pretty good coffee and very friendly employees.This is actually a family and pet friendly place with some games for kids and a patio area when the weather is nice. They also host different food trucks. There were a number of families with kids enjoying themselves while I was there.“
