14 Best Craft Breweries near Eden Prairie

“Fat Pants is a wonderful addition to Eden Prairie with great beer and food! They offer fun events and we have hosted a party here. One of our favorite local places.😊“

“Large space. Limited brews, more food than brews which was interesting. The brown ale was great though!!“

“It has a great staff and the people were just so welcoming!“

“One on my favorite breweries, they have great beer, friendly staff, and fun times. The brewery is very community centric, and dog friendly. There are two patios, one that is out front of the building and the other in updstairs. The upstairs patio is very quite and one the best kept secrets in Shakopee. The beers are great, the Hazy IPA is incredible and the Mexican lager is amazing. There is a reason these beers keep wining in the MN brewer's cup.“

“This was our first time here and we had such a great time. So many beverage options and a fun, relaxed place to be. We will be back very soon!“

“Nice patio, comfortable interior. I go to work, drink an Icee or two and eat their free popcorn. Friendly staff. Right on Mainstreet Hopkins.“

“Had the Purgatory Czech Pilsner crisp light lager. Good solid beer. Pretty busy on a Saturday lots of reserved but open tables. Open outside seating w a food truck. Dogs welcome. Has arcade games as well. Parking could be an issue. Strip mall has a number of other businesses that have reserved parking.“

“We love Hackamore! Good beers, and great staff.“

“Best tasting beer around. Great atmosphere“

“My husband and I came from Ohio to celebrate his birthday and we had some time to kill before attending Paisley Park for our tour. So we stopped at this establishment and the staff and the people in the area were friendly. As for the brew I'm not a beer drinker but I did try the Rosé seltzer and it was really good. Hubby and I definitely had a great experience!“

“My dad and I - both huge craft beer fans- stumbled across this absolute gem last night. Neither of us live in the area (I’m in S Mpls and he’s in the south suburbs), but we were in Plymouth looking for a brewery and this one sounded unique. I’m going to try to make this succinct, but so much was perfection, so here’s a list of PROS:
-Friendly and extremely knowledgable staff. My dad asks lots of questions, and the kind beertender had good answers about how the brews were made, hops used, “this is a little different than other brews in this style, what’s different?”, etc. He even came out from behind the bar to chat with us, which I don’t see at any other tap rooms.
-HUGE variety of brews, and nearly all were fabulous in my opinion.
-Completely unique vibe, which was refreshing for me coming from Minneapolis, where it’s easier to find a brewery thats just like all the other breweries than it is to find someone who’s doing something truly unique.
-Related to the above: chairs were actually comfortable and not those crappy metal chairs every single brewery has.
-Dad loved the library. Between the excellent selection of books and beers, I think he was ready to move in.
-Variety of upcoming events, including the classic trivia, a maker’s market, and TRICYCLE JOUSTING coming up on 6/1.
-Appears they have a patio as well, it was raining when we visited.
-Head brewer is a woman, which is less common than one might hope in 2025, but here we are. She’s so talented, and I’m a fan without even having met you, Lori!

Cons:
-No in-house food, which some may prefer. I didn’t mind ordering in from Davanni’s, who gave us a discount for ordering from the brewery. Perhaps they have food trucks sometimes, I’ll keep an eye out for that when I return. They do have snacks like pretzels and chips.
-This place is not in my back yard, which is only a con for me personally; hopefully they’re closer to you, dear reader.

Overall, well worth a return trip to see what’s on tap and sit a spell in a friendly, welcoming, unique environment.“

“Boom Island Brewing and The Tile Shop Thanks for a great Party. What a great Brewery and they know how to host a Party! 💯“

“My wife and I stopped by after searching for a pet friendly brewery.
The business was clean, and the service was excellent.
We had a half Pretzel and the special which is a pizza with two beer. The pizza was good, the Pretzel was great and the beer was delicious.“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“
