Fun place for a quick beer before we went tubing. The food truck is outside the brewery and has some good burgers from the work on the street . I really enjoyed the "Daisy" which is their Hazy IPA . It's very drinkable and I had about three. My wife loved her "willow" . Unfortunately the sour was out but we'll be back to try it another time . The staff was very helpful with samples to find you favorite. We also had fun on the patio which has lots of seating .

Keep doing what you are doing. This is our second time coming back and we love the beers even more this year. We especially love the hazy IPA and the Brown Ale. Keep up the great work!!!

I had the pulled pork sandwich, it came with fries and coleslaw. It also tasted great and it only took 5 minutes to get my order.

Inaugural visit on Saturday since I was in town for a graduation party. Pulled in to an easy parking spot across the street, noticing a full patio. Headed inside since it was too warm for me out there, stepped in to a full tap room. I ordered my Amaretto Sour berliner and made my way to the corner couch area, siting on the peach/pink long ottoman.... hitting the mother load!! Right under an a/c vent... yes, yes, this will work perfectly!!! From my perch I observed the tap room that has a fun mural of a cow outline and a quote also noticing a big couple of branches to hold a couple of birds. But what really caught my eye... I want to say "coat hooks" were different tools stabbed in to the beams to make the hooks!! A few screw drivers, pliers and even scissors!! How fun! Continuing to glance around, I notice table legs look to be repurposed...again, how fun!! All of the above combined makes for a really unique and eclectic environment! The beer was delicious, great balance of sour and sweet. Thanks Sylvan for a delicious and comfortable afternoon beer.

The ambience is adorable, cozy and rustic! A cool place to come and chill with friends! There's indoor seating, non heated glassed-in separate seating room and an outdoor patio to bring the doggos. The bartender was very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. It was semi-busy on a Sunday afternoon and she took really good care of all of us. The beers are separated into 3 categories: Comfy, Crafty and Crazy. These were our faves: Willow (wheat), Daisy (hazy ipa), Brook Stout (it was good but not quite knock socks off) and Venterpils (my fave!). This brewery is located in the cutest downtown of Lanesboro! I feel like we stepped back into time to a more laid back, salt of the earth realness only felt in small town America.

On my Southern MN trip I went to Lanesboro to visit Sylvan Brewing. A great patio space that the brew dog I brought with me (Bruno), really enjoyed with space both outside in the sun and under a 4 seasons porch style patio. The brewery was founded in 2020 and they are knocking out some great beers. It is the first brewery in over 100 years. The dog and I grabbed a flight and relaxed under the roof of the four seasons patioSweetbender:A Midwest-stype IPA that feels like a good ol' Session IPA - something you drink whether its 90 degrees out on a lake or freezing out on the lake ice fishing. Medium bitterness, medium pine, low lemon zest, and a low dough malt. Daisy:A Hazy IPA with a medium-high melon, low orange zest, and medium-low bitterness. The fruity / citrus forward hops provided a good balance to the bitterness of the IBUs in this beer.Gnarly:An Old Ale that sneaks up on you. Medium-high caramel, molasses, and prunes malt profile. Not overly sweet, with a very low spicy bitterness. Amaretto Sour:A Berliner Weisse inspired by the popular Amaretto Sour cocktail. Light-bodied, notes of lemon and almond. Almost a fruitiness that I couldn't place what the exact flavor was. Extremely refreshing. ___________________

Fist time and loved it. They have a great atmosphere and a variety of beers to choose from. Sunday they had outdoor music. If going to the Lanesboro area it is a must!

This 5* Brewing Company is on the MN Sips list: Buy one, get one free (see MN Sips Passport app for details). How much better can it be? Yes, please! They offered an interesting Sylvan Seltzer (light citrus seltzer=yum!). I think everyone in our group got a different brew-each one of us claiming theirs was the best! Lots of car & bicycle parking. Great staff (even if we were disruptive tourists trying to figure out what we wanted to try). No food or food truck when we visited, but we went up the block to find some great food. Relaxed vibe out on the porch/outer patio area. Yep, it's worth the stop!

I would definitely say this is "the spot" to tip a few brews! Laid back and friendly. Bring snacks with you! Dog and cat friendly.

Classic Minnesota micro brewery. Grab a table, play games, order in food or eat the pretzels and other snacks available for purchase. Totally family friendly, pets allowed on the patio. Great place to stop before or after your ride on the Root River trail. I did want them to have more in the "crafty" or "crazy" sections of the menu, ie beers with a bit more flavor or something unusual. They have basic styles, done perfectly fine, but nothing I'd want to crowler home. But, they have a limited market to support them, so understandable.
