29 Best Craft Breweries in Minneapolis

“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!“

“A little tight in the area I was in. But great service and good.

Parking: Handicap spots too.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly atmosphere

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessible“

“They have some of the most unique brews I've had in a while, like a nitro IPA, and an aquavit barrel-aged IPA. My favorite of the bunch though was their TOKKI, a Korean rice lager. The bartender was also very friendly, and their space has big garage-doors that were open, so there was tons of natural light and cross-breeze.“

“Great Open Mic on Mondays plus game night!“

“*cue How to Train Your Dragon meme*
"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you..."

Seriously one of the best taprooms in the Twin Cities. And among the best beers in the state. I'm glad to be back after so many years!“

“In June 3, me & my staff went to Headflyer brewing for (Monday Pizza Night) then we had a veggie & hamburger pizza ?? for lunch & an save a half of it for dinner to watch WWE raw at the hotel room of La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Minneapolis Airport Bloomington.“

“Our new favorite place to relax on Sunday evenings with a drink and a pizza, and the pup can come with! The bartender was great, and answered my many questions about their products.The kombucha drinks are not as strong as kombucha's that I've had before, they're almost more like a soda without the sugar.“

“Try Bees ? if it’s still on tap! Unique flavor combination that is subtle, refreshing, and enjoyable. 4oz pours available for anything so make your own flight sans paddle. Great spot before a baseball game for local beer brewed right with care and clever combinations.“

“I've been a huge fan of their Mirror Universe beer and finally got to visit in person. I was excited to try some new hazy IPAs that were on tap here and the tap room is a welcoming and friendly place. Great staff and reasonable prices.

Parking and the neighborhood safety with vagrants loitering outside is however a concern I would have before returning.“

“Best microbrewery I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a few! Had to experience the “beer poke”, graciously administered by our excellent bartender. All beers are true to style and delicious. The space is awesome, food trucks in case you’re hungry.“

“One of the best breweries in town.“

“Such a comfortable place for a brew or two.“

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

“I’m telling you, this place is amazing! Not your typical brewery - but we just had several flights and every beer, even those I don’t care for, are really good beers. They seriously know what they are doing! If you like good beer, you need to stop here!“

“Great beer, staff, and space“

“We hosted our wedding reception in the Barrel Room and it was the best experience! We originally fell in love with the natural charm this room had, so we didn't need to provide much more for decoration (and the pinball was a hit!). All the staff were super helpful with technical issues, ensuring we had adequate tables, and quick with drink orders. I would definitely choose to host another party here, and I keep reliving our reception night like it was yesterday. Nothing but the best praise for the staff as they were open for regular business during our rental time. You all were amazing and we appreciate everything you did for us! We'll be back very soon!“

“Fave new place for my morning coffee. The uma latte is my go to. A little savory sweet combo that’s just the best. The friendly morning barista Hope I believe their name is!! Amazing personality and so helpful on what to get! Love it here“

“*as I take a refreshing sip of my pint* LynLake brewery is one of MPLS’s finest. Tasty brews, yummy food, and a really handsome bartender. Jonny (blondie) gave us the best service we’ve ever had at a brewery and continued to sweep us off our feet the rest of the night. If you are blessed enough to have him serve you, ask for his special ;) Anyways, cheers to you and have a fantastic night at LynLake Brewery.“

“I had a wonderful experience watching their magic show (every month on the 2nd Tuesday). Their staff are friendly and they offer a wide variety of entertainment including comedy nights and board games. Someone wanting more than just simply a brew and a conversation should definitely check them out. They also offer a more traditional brewery experience if that's your desire so something for everyone as they say.“

“We got here a bit late, but enjoyed a few libations before they closed and love the staff and atmosphere“

“Why even advertise Rush Hour? Tried it twice. First time … No Rush beer, no merch, lame. Bartenders were nice and gave us a discount. Second time … At least there was Rush beer on tap this time. The staff couldn’t be bothered to play more than three Rush songs and the merch giveaway was expired jars of Rush mustard. Lame. Maybe a handful of people were there for it both times. What’s the point?“

“Settled in the center of a U shape configuration, Wild Minds created a beautiful family and dog friendly outdoor patio. Order a cold coffee, read a book and stay for one of their many tasty beers and THC drinks. Food trucks change regularly to mix up your tastebuds.“

“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.“

“This lively venue satisfied our brew enthusiasts and even offered a nice carbonated hops drink for the tea totalers. Pre-ordered appetizers appeared upon arrival and, as we ordered food, it arrived quickly. Not only was it good, but the variety provided something for everyone in our multicultural group. Service was excellent, so we were pleased all around with a well managed brew pub. As usual, my only complaint is about the noise which is inevitable with hard surfaces on a busy Friday evening.“

“We got the breakfast buffet before the Vikings game, and the food was absolutely amazing. I wanted to take a whole pan of those caramel rolls to go! Really busy because it was about 2 hours before kickoff, but the staff was doing a great job of letting people know expected wait times as well as clearing tables quickly to keep the flow moving. Would love to check out the rest of the menu sometime!“

“Some great beers to choose from.“

“An elevated experience compared to a typical brewery. Extensive selection of delicious beers, fun form of bocci, large & group friendly layout, and the food smelled great.
Bartender brought out samples of a couple new brews they are testing, which was much appreciated.“

“We had no plans on going here but I'm sure glad we did! We were walking around looking to grab a quick dinner before a concert and stumbled upon The Freehouse. I noticed first that the outside ambiance was quite dreamy. It was a gorgeous night so we sat outside. Our waitress was kind and quirky, loved her! I got the half rotisserie chicken (accidently gave me a whole chicken, but allowed me to pay for just the half I actually ordered) with mashed potatoes, corn, and slaw. First off I was very worried with the size of the chicken and if it would be done enough but it was cooked to perfection. Juicy, moist, flavorful and SEASONED! Delicious!! It also came with a sauce that was olive green in color. Initially I was worrird but surprisingly it tasted like a yummy warm good Ole gravy! I could drink it! The potatoes were also a hit, soooo good and buttery. The slaw and the corn weren't amazing but not bad either. My company got the chicken lime salad. Said it was GOOD but may not get it again. Overall the experience was 10/10. I haven't stopped thinking about the chicken, potatoes and gravy since! Can't wait to go again!“
