17 Best Craft Breweries near Hopkins

“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“

“I live in the neighborhood and have come for trivia a few times now. The tacos and nachos are delicious. I went specifically to try the Serrano Dona Fria Mexican Lager and was NOT disappointed. They also sell “You Betcha!” thc chocolate and their own thc seltzers. Excited to have them in our neighborhood and will be back for the Serrano!“

“It was a pleasure to meet Joe! Despite everything being full of hate, "America" I was delighted to have Joe as my server, and he was marvelously amazing! Let's get out of our comfort zones and say hi, hi, greet, and simply be kind to each other! My partner Brian and I are following Joe's footsteps.“

“Forgotten Star has become one of my favorites. A good selection of good beer, dog friendly, and a great space. Having both indoor and outdoor spaces with ample social distancing is super. Plus bocce, and rumors of curling this winter. And a food truck dock too!“

“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.“

“I didn’t know cider could taste this good! If I could buy this in my home country I would be buying it and recommending it to everyone. Sad for me it’s only available in the US. They use lots of different apple varies to create very unique flavours. Not too sweet too.Vegetarian options: Gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian pizza options, all delicious.“

“Really great beer! And what a venue, i would love to throw an event here . A little pricey.This place is extremely family friendly I saw 11 newborn babies! Probably twice that many toddlers!*I do funny reviews this place is amazing super friendly staff!”*giggling noises*“

“A true microbrewery feeling! Both times I’ve been here I’ve had a nice conversation with the owner, who is super personable and passionate about community. It’s also so cool to taste a beer one month, then come back the next month and see how they’ve adjusted the flavor. Plus, they’ve added arcade games, what could be better?“

“Love this place - cheerful atmosphere and great food. I also really appreciate that there aren’t TVs everywhere and all the tables are nicely spaced so you can actually enjoy each others company without yelling. Our elementary age kids even love coming here for the food and board games!“

“Love the new place! Will be part of our brewery rotation. Indoor and outdoor seating with a band playing makes for a great atmosphere. Being connected to Bravi's makes it even better!The only downfall was that there was no changing table in the bathroom, so I had to change my daughter between the sinks.Edit: There are now changing tables in the restrooms!“

“My husband I have been coming here for a couple years now and we LOVE it. As frequent brewery visitors, out of all that we have been to around the Twin Cities WSB is by far our favorite. The hospitality and atmosphere this place brings is unmatched. (Of course, we also LOVE their beer!) We always get a friendly smile and a delicious pint. Highly highly recommend.“

“Steel Toe is a stalwart of Minneapolis… erm, St. Louis Park, beer scene. Taproom has expanded over the years, including outdoor space (though no heaters or fire pits from what I could tell). Only qualm was the taproom/drinking area felt a little sterile, which I know is common for breweries in formerly industrial areas.Was kind of surprised to see they had 3 barleywines on tap - that’s a lot of variety for a pretty rare style!“

“Decided to stop in on a whim. Food was excellent and price point was reasonable for the amount of food you got, especially in the North Loop area. Good selection of beer, only downside is that they don’t do flights anymore. They do offer 3-4 Oz ponies for $5, but when a pint is $7-8, doesn’t seem worth it.“

“Great brewery with a very cozy atmosphere. This is a place I could see spending lots of time at if I lived nearby. Nice game selection. Kid & dog friendly. Good assortment of activities and food trucks on the schedule. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place. We met the taproom manager who was a joy to get to know and we really enjoyed all the beers, especially the barrel aged selections. Darts and shuffle board made the night very fun with our large group and the bartenders were knowledgeable and accommodating! We will be back.“
