About Wooden Ship Brewing Company

Wooden Ship Brewing Company is a neighborhood brewery in the Twin Cities that emphasizes quality over production. The beer selection includes truly sour sours, rich dark beers, and even some obscure European brews like their shockingly good kvass. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable. The bar area is well-lit with a friendly bartender, and the drink list is projected onto a wall. Happy hour is a great deal, and the beers like "I'm over Dry January" and "somebody had to say it" are strong and delicious. The outdoor patio area is welcoming with families, groups of people, and well-behaved dogs. While it can get busy and there might be a wait, the overall experience is enjoyable with delicious beers like Kolsch and stout served in nice glasses.

The brewery is a cool place, often hosting trivia nights, and the outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing with friends or family. Although there isn’t a large food menu, a food truck right outside the patio makes up for this, offering tasty options. Many beers on tap are quite high in ABV, but there are also some around 5%. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming, making it a favorite local spot. The indoor area is small, so it may fill up when the weather isn’t great, but the cozy vibe remains. Visitors enjoy the unique drinks like shrub seltzer cocktails, which are very tasty, and the friendly staff and delicious beer keep guests coming back.

People often feel the place has a warm, welcoming vibe where everyone seems to know your name. The space is small but cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Anthony at the bar is known for great drink recommendations. Though they don't have a kitchen, food trucks sometimes arrive, especially during warmer months, and outside food is allowed. A notable feature is the availability of non-alcoholic options, including kombucha, sodas, and their signature THC seltzer. During colder months, hot chocolate is offered for just $1, and boozy hot chocolates are available for $5, packed with mini marshmallows. The taproom feels intimate, making it a perfect spot for casual visits, and the friendly staff and great drinks make it a favorite place to return to again and again.
