241 Fremont Ave N, Minneapolis - 6.47 miles

“La Doña is a fantastic place to meet up with friends for beer, tacos, hablar en Español, and Trivia Mafia. I invite my friends to Trivia Mafia on Tuesday nights, and we have an incredibly fun time with the whimsical trivia. We have even won gift card prizes some times! Today before Trivia Mafia, I ordered chips & guacamole, with extra guacamole and cilantro mayo. I also ordered the steak quesadilla. Very delicious!“

Utepils Brewing Brewery • $
225 Thomas Ave N #700, Minneapolis - 5.79 miles

“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.“

Shakopee Brewhall - Brewery & Coffee House Brewery • $
124 1st Ave E, Shakopee - 10.62 miles

“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.“

Nine Mile Brewing Brewery • $$
9555 James Ave S Suite 290, Bloomington - 8.38 miles

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!“

We played a trivia game and saw others playing cribbage. It was quiet and lots of actual chatting and interacting that doesn't happen when music or TV is overbearing.“

Lots of great beer choices and they have a food truck for snacks. I wish there was a bit more parking so come early on a weekend. All the tables fill up really fast. Located on Excelsior Bvld. I highly recommend this place!“

Under Pressure Brewing Brewery • $$
8806 7th Ave N, Golden Valley - 4.2 miles

“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.“
