Sociable Cider Werks Brewery • $
1500 Fillmore St NE, Minneapolis

“As the name suggests, this place is all about being social. You definitely want to come with a group. My party of two stopped by on a trivia night and, even with the host on the loud speakers, I'd say the sound split was 55/45 in favor of guest chatter. Nicely varied selection of drinks, and the food truck has a solid burger. Tots were a bit over seasoned for my taste.“

Falling Knife Brewing Company Brewery • $
783 Harding St NE #100, Minneapolis

“Wham Bam thank you Falling Knife! If you want a brewery that everyone knows your name, this is the place to be. A ton of regulars who aren’t degenerates. There are so many small events going on weekly like Trivia Mafia, Magic, T-wolves pod cast, pinball tourneys and and and… big events are so cool with live bands and random food trucks to your liking. WRECTANLGE PIZZA truck is a permanent year round truck that serves up Dee best pizza in the twin cities!The staff is enjoyably attentive, charismatic and friendly to the pour (don’t tell the manager?)I love this low ceiling, small concept atmosphere because of the patrons who visit. The service with a smile…The Beer! Tom… the master of the universe and master brewer has a fantastic variety and outstanding standard to every beer he crafts! “Verbal Tip” is my favorite hazy beer, like ever! Hops, lagers, dank, fruity, warm comfort styles of beers make up the list along with THC drinks, slushes and some kind of bitters thing on a belt ?Come here and have fun! Let loose! Be free and don’t drive drunk!I’ll see you here ?“

Good, but nothing out of the ordinary.Food is solid, mostly standard bar food, but it's well done with the cheese curds being noteworthy.The beer is definitely the highlight, there is a wide variety of well executed styles with the big barrel aged beers being some of the best in the state.I've been several times, and I'm sure I will be back next time I'm in Minneapolis.“

Fair State Brewing Cooperative Brewery • $
2506 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis

“We recently enjoyed the the Köld Kolsch from Fair State. We do like our kolsch beers and we enjoyed this one fairly well. It had all the features and highlights like a kolsch should. With this beer the flavor highlights are crisp ,clean, bready and some presence of graininess.It was a very refreshing beer and one that we liked quite a bit as the heat of midsummer cranked up a few notches when we enjoyed this Kolsch a few weeks ago.“

Bauhaus Brew Labs Brewery • $$
1315 Tyler St NE, Minneapolis

“The beer is very good, and it's one of my favorite tap room venues in the city. It's in an old factory (plane wing manufacturing?) with the cranes still in the rafters. Fantastic semi-covered outdoor space, cornhole/bean-bag toss, several tables, and an overpriced food truck.Update several years later: still one of the best atmospheres in the metro. Family and dog friendly. Open air, huge patio, great food trucks.“

Wooden Ship Brewing Company Brewery • $$

“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.“

Venn Brewing Company Coffee Shops • $
3550 E 46th St Suite 140, Minneapolis

“Excellent beer selection in a dog & kid friendly environment. Location right by the train, bus, & apartments is optimal. Limited parking, but they do have spots specifically for Venn. Restrooms for customers only. Highly recommend the sours, stouts, & especially the Hawaiian Hog, which almost tastes like bacon due to the smokiness.“

Insight Brewing & Taproom Brewery • $
2821 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis

“Insight Brewing and Taproom is a large, expansive, local taproom, with polite and friendly staff behind the bar. There are lots and lots of seating options, including a suedo "living room" showing movies, long "Munich Oktoberfest" style high-top tables, bar stools at the long and curving bar, and a number of intimate booths and cubbie areas to snuggle up with your "significant other".Insight has a large parking lot located on the West side of the facility, and is convenient in location being just a couple of blocks west of 280.Atmosphere is down-home comfortable, with a good mix of ages throughout the taproom. Great vibe! Dogs are certainly allowed, and there were many of them present last night. The taproom offers a wide variety of beers on tap, including 6 - 7 THC seltzers and limited release collab beers. There are also a couple of kombucha and soda NA options.Only downside for me last night was the strong smell of cleaning fluids wafting throughout the brewery. Granted, I showed up approximately 1.5 hours prior to closing, so the staff was cleaning up prior to close. But it was a strong smell just the same, and messed up my taste of the otherwise delicious beers I had there last night (I tried the Level Up, a classic American Pale Ale and their Night Shift - a delicious, heavy, dark and semi-sweet porter). In terms of the cleaning smell, I am thankful that they ARE cleaning the taproom with the strong chemicals! Good health for all!Overall, great experience at Insight!“

Torg Brewery Brewery • $
8421 University Ave NE, Spring Lake Park

“Have been to many microbreweries over the years and have never seen one as unique as this one. Being a sci-fi fantasy fan myself, I really appreciated the decor with nods to Tolkien and Monty Python's Holy Grail. Custom artwork on t-shirts and wall hangings is very well done! There's darts, frisbee, painting groups, live music, and many other interesting things to see and do here. Really like all the little cubbyholes too. Sampled a flight and enjoyed the full flavor and creaminess of the Baltic Orc Porter so much, I HAD to pickup some for home! Excellent, knowledgeable staff and the owner walking around chatting with customers was nice. Three dollar discounts for growlers on Wednesdays too. Loved the original names given to the brews as well. Most likely will become regulars and will definitely be back.“

Inbound BrewCo Brewery • $$
701 N 5th St, Minneapolis

“I recently visited the wonderful InboundBrew co that left a lasting impression on me. The ambiance was delightful, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed evening. What truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by the bartender, a young man with a mustache. He was incredibly helpful, offering us a variety of beer options to sample until we found our perfect match. When I asked for a specific flavor profile, he nailed it right away! Our group, which was quite large, was thoroughly pleased with the experience. The bartender's skill and attentiveness added immensely to our enjoyment, making it a memorable visit.“

1712 Marshall St NE Suite 100, Minneapolis

“Excellent beer, great space, cool views, and hopefully getting even better: rumors of both a riverside patio and trail development by the city of Minneapolis show promise for those precious, outdoor summer beer hangs. And the beer? It’s good - I love BC’s commitment to the slow pour pils!“

56 Brewing Brewery • $
3055 NE Columbia Ave Suite 102, Minneapolis

“Popped in a few weeks ago for a beer release. They have an event space off to the left when you walk in. The space is really bright and I appreciated there were a couple few bathrooms in the space so you wouldn't have to go out in to the tap room. The beers were delicious and the staff were friendly. They have a tiny parking lot but there is plenty of street parking. Thanks 56 for delicious beers, cheers!“

“Great restaurant/brewery in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. Parking can be a little difficult to come by, but usually you can find a meter on Washington Ave. Food is fast and delicious, as well as the beer and cocktails. We like the breakfast options and usually have a hard time deciding since there are so many good choices. It was busy on the Sunday morning that we were there so the wait staff took a little longer than was expected.Vegetarian options: Lots of optionsKid-friendliness: Definitely a place you can bring the kids to.“

Indeed Brewing Company Taproom & Low-Dose THC Dispensary Brewery • $

“As far as I'm concerned, this is (with due respect to Summit) the O.G. of the neo-craft brewing scene in this city. Gorgeous room, with a second bar on the other side of the building. Nice selection of snacks. Most important, consistently delicious beer. Very highly recommended.“

“Went to Fulton Brewery for their Mini Holidazzle! I had the blueberry Fulton Narc (sparkling THC water) which was good. We also had nachos, a walking taco, and pulled chicken sliders. Everything was good except for the pulled chicken sliders, I would not reccomend them, we should have gotten the pulled pork sliders. The ambiance of Fulton was fun!“

The taproom offers plenty of laid back indoor and outdoor space for a date, board games with friends, or a family gathering for the kids and dogs. Always a solid selection of fresh beers on tap from low ABV selections like Color Test to hazy IPAs, to Belgian inspired strong ales.“

Pryes Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1401 West River Rd N, Minneapolis

“Fun fact - my husband and I had our first date at Pryes Brewing and later got engaged there! We have visited many time, the most recent being this previous Saturday for a drink with a few friends. We do appreciate their large selections for drinks, catering to those who are GF as we all those seeking NA options. The outdoor seating is always plenty, although less used during cold seasons. One thing that always happens is upon walking inside, there are a couple tables in the area people line up to order. So every time, you find people in one or two long lines waiting when there are staff just waiting and sitting around, not wanting to stand between the tables to order at the other stations. And I have never seen staff wave or call people over, instead standing around chatting or on their phones. They have expanded their space since we started coming, we often see couples, families, friends, and more using the space which is lovely. One thing that is a drawback that prevents us from visiting sometimes, is the parking. If you are trying to attend an event at Pyres, you will very well not find a parking spot unless you circle for an hour or park far away. Putting lines on the street parking along the curbs would be very helpful to maximize parking spots. Pros are for sure their large selection of drinks, they allow doggies (outside only I think), their location right off the Mississippi river, the space, the environment that is appropriate for families to first dates, and that they have lots of seating and food. Cons are the parking and long lines. Recommend to check it out (not during an event for the first time unless you Uber/Lyft).“
