18 Best Craft Breweries near Minnetonka

“Boom Island Brewing and The Tile Shop Thanks for a great Party. What a great Brewery and they know how to host a Party! 💯“

“Absolutely amazing! I loved everything about Unmapped Brewing. The place is awesome, the vibe is perfect, and the beers are top-notch. But the absolute highlight of the night was Shania—her excellent service, great energy, and stellar recommendations made our visit perfect. We will definitely be back!“

“We hosted a Welcome to the Wedding Weekend event at Utepils in Bay 10 (private event space). It was perfect! Taylor was so quick to respond to my questions and so helpful with layout ideas. We had 100 people and everyone raved about how great the space was. Taylor was our bartender for the evening and was fantastic. There were plenty of options on tap for our guests and we were able to set up catering and it worked great. It was a great start to a very special weekend and I would definitely recommend Utepils for an event!“

“Nice patio, comfortable interior. I go to work, drink an Icee or two and eat their free popcorn. Friendly staff. Right on Mainstreet Hopkins.“

“I love sours, been to many places in MN and other states. The Glonky is the best I have ever had but also the priciest. If you want a premium sour you will pay a premium price. Little cheaper in cans. Wish I still lived in MN so i could come more frequently but will stop in on our visits.

By the way... they say Asheville has the greatest breweries. Not even close to MN. MN, the best thing you have going for your major cities is your breweries, treat them well.“

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

“This was our first time here and we had such a great time. So many beverage options and a fun, relaxed place to be. We will be back very soon!“

“It has a great staff and the people were just so welcoming!“

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!“

“Large space. Limited brews, more food than brews which was interesting. The brown ale was great though!!“

“We went to Steel Toe for the first time today. We enjoyed the best of Minneapolis summer entertainment. They have a nice outdoor area with a food truck for your tummy. We played a trivia game and saw others playing cribbage. It was quiet and lots of actual chatting and interacting that doesn't happen when music or TV is overbearing.“

“We love Hackamore! Good beers, and great staff.“

“I have been to Fat Pants for Weddings, Rehearsal Dinners, and Networking Events. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at an event at Fat Pants.“

“My husband and I came from Ohio to celebrate his birthday and we had some time to kill before attending Paisley Park for our tour. So we stopped at this establishment and the staff and the people in the area were friendly. As for the brew I'm not a beer drinker but I did try the Rosé seltzer and it was really good. Hubby and I definitely had a great experience!“

“Genuinely some of the best beer I have had in a long time. The atmosphere is awesome and folks behind the counter are absolute gems. The menu has a lot of variety and everything we tried was incredible. Our group was completely blown away. They have a ton of super fun events and we look forward to becoming regulars! It’s dog friendly and our shy rescue gained so much confidence in a single evening.“

“They have great beer and a friendly atmosphere! Live music in the summer on the patio or play some games with friends while staying warm inside while having some great brews!“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“

“Went there with a big crowd to celebrate family birthdays. The food was yummy and the service was excellent! Plus the waiter with the handlebar mustache made the whole table laugh. 😀“
