41 Best Craft Breweries near Fridley

“Awesome place to host an event!! Super helpful staff, great atmosphere and plenty of space for guests.“

“Our family has a blast visiting Bang Brewing!!! The beers were 10/10 and the setting is so darn peaceful! Sit and watch the pollinators come and go, can't wait to visit in the other seasons! Go and relax with a great beer and then be inspired to go tend to or make your native garden!!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and beer.“

“One of our favorite breweries in the area - there is always a great selection of high quality beer that is strongly influenced by German brewing style, the community events are great, and there is usually a good food truck in the evenings to order at, or food in the area to bring.“

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

“The staff were great! I liked the indoor and outdoor seating. This place has some really cool events like cat snuggling and table top game nights. The beer was good and cold. I am not a fan of happy beers and these were too happy for my taste, but they were good beers. Just not my flavor.“

“This place is legit. Fantastic European-style beers (ie. German and Czech in particualr) but they have something for everyone. A very cool space indoors. It was cold when we visited but the outdoor beer garden looks like it would be a very good time. If you're visiting from out of town and staying closer to the city center, I still highly encourage making the trip here if you're a beer lover as it's my favorite of the breweries we visited.“

“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.“

“Great selection and great beer garden. Loved my beer! High quality. Food available.“

“Hidden gem!!! Perfect night to sit outside and enjoy a beer!“

“Cool place, good beer and the people were very nice! The wings though…. BEST WINGS IVE EVER HAD!! I can’t remember the last time I was ever this excited over eating wings. They were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the flavor was amazing! Highly recommend the Forbidden Door wing! We will definitely be back!“

“Great variety of products! Meat raffle was free with the opportunity of winning free meat, beer or girl scout cookies.“

“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!“

“We threw my sister a baby shower here a few weeks ago. Emily was wonderful to work with leading up to the event, answering all my questions promptly and and was so accommodating, as was everyone on staff the day of. Everyone had a great time & we received several compliments on the venue. It was perfect. Would highly recommend!“

“Torg brewery is our spot to go after a long day/week. The people are always friendly and the beers are delicious. I especially love that they cater to old world style beers over the trending IPA/fruited scene. With saisons, heffeweissens, and ESBs, it's a little taste of Europe in Minnesota. The owner is super friendly and inviting as well, even hosting his own trivia on Wednesday nights for a fun time.“

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

“Great beer, staff, and space“

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

“One of the best breweries in town.“

“One of my favorite breweries of all time. Always a great selection and variety and love their hazy IPAs.“

“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!!“

“super fun comedy show & great beer!“

“Love the atmosphere. Good food, 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.“

“We went to their Mothers Day Brunch and had a blast. My kids loved the llamas and I loved the bottomless mimosas and we all loved the food!“

“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.“

“Showed up right before brunch was ending and ordered the churros. They were phenomenal. Then after about 16 minutes we ordered from the regular full bar menu and the chicken sandwich was pretty great. I'm sure the beer is all good too.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I really like Surly's beer but never had the opportunity to visit the Beer Hall. I was warmly received, but not told about restaurant week specials. I enjoyed trying a Mosh Pit Hazy IPA - yummy. I ordered some mahi tacos. They were OK but expensive for what I got. There were no 'sides' I could order! I ordered chicken tacos. It was a small serving of pulled chicken. Again, way too expensive for what I got. Would have liked a side salad or fries. I sat at the bar. Service was friendly and fast. It was a good first visit. Will not be rushing back anytime soon. Too bad.“

“Good beer and vibes all day, any day“

“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!“

“What a great brewery located in the heart of Birdtown. Great bingo, meat raffle and an annual summer party with great give aways! The patio has live music in the summer. Winter time music moves inside.“

“We are so sad to see Invictus go! My husband and I love our weekly date night seeing the best bartenders who’ve become our friends. The family atmosphere that we’ve enjoyed for the last 10 years will be lost and no big stores or chains can replace our fav local spot. These guys know your name when you walk in and we will miss them so much! Thank you for the amazing service, great drinks and wonderful memories!“

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

“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!“
