46 Best Craft Breweries near Arden Hills

“First visit today. Food was great and Ravi, our server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the dishes. We ordered way too much food! But we will enjoy the leftovers- and we will be back!“

“The best kept secret in Saint Paul. Sunset beer and pizza in this tall grass wild flower patio soothes my soul like no other bar or brewery. The beer itself is simply tasty while maintaining a sophistication other breweries lose with their hyperbolic flavor and naming schemes. Truly the best there is.“

“Forgotten Star has a great and historic location in Fridley, Minnesota. The staff is stellar and the beer is good. Forgotten Star is a shining example of what craft beer is. Great space, great people, great beer. They are part of the lifeblood of the community. There is always plenty going on. Whether that is a kid's story time, curling or disc golf leagues. Sign up for a Mug Club membership. Enjoy a treat from the Hodegpodge food truck. When you have the chance, check out Forgotten Star.“

“Lovely atmosphere with great staff and fabulous cider! Watching the younger generation curling was so fun!“

“My boyfriend and I are very frequent brewery-goers and we have somehow turned into semi-beer-snobs so we tend to ask questions. Our dog also has grown to expect treats every time we go to a brewery. Kai gave us in-depth detail about every beer we asked about, his personal recommendations, gave us samples, gave our dog some treats, and completely made our experience here. We love our beers, our dog loves her treats, and we are all leaving home over the moon!“

“A must visit in the north loop! Great beer! Amazing people! The perfect place to visit before a twins game or any day really… Cory, thank you for the hospitality. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“Wonderful German- style beers and food. The outdoor dining area is lovely, and we received incredible service. We look forward to returning.“

“They have some of the most unique brews I've had in a while, like a nitro IPA, and an aquavit barrel-aged IPA. My favorite of the bunch though was their TOKKI, a Korean rice lager. The bartender was also very friendly, and their space has big garage-doors that were open, so there was tons of natural light and cross-breeze.“

“If you are even the minimalist of a craft beer fan, YOU MUST VISIT BARREL THEORY - period. This may be one of the very best craft breweries you'll ever find. Their specialty is Hazy's, and each one is exquisite - perfectly done. To boot, the Imperial Stout I tried was utterly fantastic! And, the gents behind the bar could not have been nicer, while the place has a pretty cool vibe. Love it! Get there!“

“Comfortable place for some craft beers“

“I enjoyed the drinks and games. Staff was awesome, Adrian was very helpful.“

“Would not work with this venue again, as they do not operate in good faith with their artists. They intentionally lied and misled a group of full-time working artists, and will probably continue to do so moving forward, as venues like this tend to fall into habit of mistreating acts Disappointing to say the least, I would not support live entertainment here. I can guarantee you the money is not going and the hands of the performers or producers putting on the events, as it should. If you are a performer or producer yourself, please look elsewhere, there are many other fantastic venues in the nearby neighborhoods that are worth supporting and working with.“

“I'm new ish the metro and just don't get how you have the best taproom and best beer and least condescending taproom staff. Truly a one of a kind spot. Never met Scott but I'm told it's his legacy living on and may it live on for a long long time.“

“Great vibes, super accommodating staff, delicious food, and a wide range of beverage options. Definitely worth attending one of their events ☺️“

“Absolutely wonderful! Staff is fun, friendly, and personable. We recently co-hosted an event at Inbound and everything was flawless! Great communication and a huge following that really helped promote the event. The drinks are delicious and even the clientele is great! We can't wait to be back!“

“Really great Beer. Party Forward IPA was fantastic.“

“The International Wolf Center had a Happy Hour Howl in the Ratskeller Room. Working with Summit staff was smooth and easy. They made it fun. Our members gave rave reviews about the whole evening. We will have another event there again. Thanks!“

“Great beer, staff, and space“

“it was our first time there on Saturday friendly bartenders and staff we will for sure be back most definitely had a fun time!“

“Love the atmosphere. Good food, great beer!“

“I’m telling you, this place is amazing! Not your typical brewery - but we just had several flights and every beer, even those I don’t care for, are really good beers. They seriously know what they are doing! If you like good beer, you need to stop here!“

“Fantastic menu - lots of great choices and a nice, spread out space with lots of natural light. Unique beers that are delicious!“

“1st time there today! Amazing food & beer!! Can't wait to go back!! Very good service!“

“We hosted our wedding reception in the Barrel Room and it was the best experience! We originally fell in love with the natural charm this room had, so we didn't need to provide much more for decoration (and the pinball was a hit!). All the staff were super helpful with technical issues, ensuring we had adequate tables, and quick with drink orders. I would definitely choose to host another party here, and I keep reliving our reception night like it was yesterday. Nothing but the best praise for the staff as they were open for regular business during our rental time. You all were amazing and we appreciate everything you did for us! We'll be back very soon!“

“MetroNome is a wonderful experience for music and craft beers. They are charitable in essence giving children and teens the support to play music. We rented the venue to throw a big party and they were gracious hosts and supported our efforts to provide fun for everyone attending. A+++“

“visited last night for the free comedy show. was extremely impressed. fantastic service. staff was extremely nice. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Joined for dog yoga and simply love the vibe, the German name theme and all the diverse community events! Kudos for having a Big Lebowski themed bash!!“

“One of the best breweries in town.“

“Beautiful patio and great pizza and beer!“

“super fun comedy show & great beer!“

“Loved this brewery. I have been coming here since the 612 Brewing open their doors and now to Padraigs Brewing for the first time. Although not a beer brewing professional but a beer connoisseur, I really enjoyed the different Irish beers. Please go and support Padraigs Brewing and their excellent beer and ambience.“

“Why even advertise Rush Hour? Tried it twice. First time … No Rush beer, no merch, lame. Bartenders were nice and gave us a discount. Second time … At least there was Rush beer on tap this time. The staff couldn’t be bothered to play more than three Rush songs and the merch giveaway was expired jars of Rush mustard. Lame. Maybe a handful of people were there for it both times. What’s the point?“

“Fantastic beers, love it 🍻🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Chill vibes, especially with their outdoor dining. Tried the chicken & waffles w/ a spicy maple syrup and it was delicious — perfectly crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Fast friendly service, Definitely worth a visit!“

“LynLake Brewery is a fantastic place to go with friends to relax and hang out and they have a very chillaxed vibe. The place is cozy and has an abundance of games you and your friends can play.

The food is also amazing the foods I got to try were-

Lake view burger- had a very good taste! Cheese curd are very good, very close to fair cheese curds. Also the sauce that comes with it pairs nicely. Very good portion of cheese curds for a small as well.
Firebird- Note if you can’t handle spice don’t get it. It has a very good tasting flavor though!
Chicken tacos- had a good flavors little kick. I think sour cream on the side would pair nicely just to mild the spice out a little for some!“

“Went tonight with a friend for a fun beer in a local brewery setting before dinner & found out the owner is retiring, so closing in a week.
So, as much as 5 stars is how I feel about supporting our local breweries, it sadly doesn't help delay retirements.“

“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“Some great beers to choose from.“

“The pizza and salad were great but we didn't get what we ordered. We ordered a Walter White pizza and got What's the Damage. We ordered a Greek salad and got a Caesar salad. The dark lager was great. 5 stars if the order had been correct.“

“Good beer and vibes all day, any day“

“I’ve been to a lot of taprooms. If I was going to open one, I’d want it to be just like Invictus!
The beer is very good, but the rare few I don’t care for, like the Nut Goodie Stout, someone else will love. And the food selection from the Tipsey Steer is very good too, especially the Armadillo Eggs. Highly recommended! BTW, I’m heading there again to meet up with some friends in a few minutes…“

“The service here is fast and courteous! I recommend you give them a try!“
