15 Best Craft Breweries near Chanhassen

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Beautiful west metro brewery with a wide variety of well executed beers. They also have a nice location on the water with plenty of seating indoors and out. Dog friendly with plenty to do between sports on TV, to games and stages for live music. When I when they had a hot sauce tasting, and 3 food trucks. If you’re in the west side of the twin cities, like great beer and a good time check this place out! (Side note they are very friendly to the home brew crowd and brewing community in general) TOP!“

“Uhhh this is my favorite brewery EVER. Hands down. They really know how to make beer. Always a ton of options to choose from no matter the season. There is always going to be a beer for somebody's palette. I am OBSESSED with their milkshake IPAs and milkshake sours. In fact, I love their sours in general. I typically don't like other place's sours, but LTD's are legit.“

“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."“

“The beer can be hit or miss in my experience, for the cost especially if can be disappointing... Usually it's at least decent but have had a few beers that have made me just want a macro instead. Happy to have them here though, what a location and bike friendliness is so appreciated. Always worth supporting.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Visited Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom for their Lord of the Rings Night and it was an unforgettable experience! The dedication to cosplay transformed the place, making it feel as though we'd stepped right into Middle-earth. The theme-appropriate music was the cherry on top. I was there for 5 hours, and even though I missed the trivia, I had a fantastic time. It's worth noting they host trivia every Thursday at 6:30 pm, which I'll definitely not miss next time. The atmosphere was inviting, their kombucha was delicious, and the Hana Bistro food truck was top-notch. Highly recommend for an immersive themed evening!“

“We LOVE Fat Pants. It's our favorite local watering hole. They have a great variety of beers, seltzers, THC/CBD drinks and satisfying menu items. We also love their trivia nights, live music, Oktoberfest week, etc. Fat Pants makes every holiday fun and festive. The only downside is how crowded it's becoming. They need to expand, it's becoming so popular. If anything, an expanded patio would help - bonus if it could be covered & heated in the colder months.“

“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!!!!“

“Easily the best brewery in the Twin Cities (and surrounding areas). The (huge!) beer selection is unique and super flavorful. Lori is so friendly and has concocted some amazing beers. Beer connoisseurs must visit here. Ambience is also uniquely medieval. My top choice of breweries to visit in the Twin Cities Metro.“

“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.“

“Had a great time at Birch's. Hadn't been for a while and definitely will put back on our return to list. Had the Salmon and was very good. Deserts were delicious and were big enough to share. Another person had crab cake and said was very good and beer cheese soup excellent. Will definitely return also liked the valet parking. Was prom night which might explain the noise for the night“
