16 Best Craft Breweries in Saint Paul

“Wandering Leaf is a great place to meet friends or hang out by yourself. The beers are made with quality and there is literally something for everyone.“

“The best kept secret in Saint Paul. Sunset beer and pizza in this tall grass wild flower patio soothes my soul like no other bar or brewery. The beer itself is simply tasty while maintaining a sophistication other breweries lose with their hyperbolic flavor and naming schemes. Truly the best there is.“

“Comfortable place for some craft beers“

“Waldmann Brewery is an amazing location with great food, amazing lager style beers, and a wonderful historic location. If any of those things appeal to you, this is your place. The staff are friendly and the events they host are great (Oktoberfest, St Nikolaus evening, german New Year's Eve), and the Biergarden is authentic and relaxing, even during the winter.“

“If you are even the minimalist of a craft beer fan, YOU MUST VISIT BARREL THEORY - period. This may be one of the very best craft breweries you'll ever find. Their specialty is Hazy's, and each one is exquisite - perfectly done. To boot, the Imperial Stout I tried was utterly fantastic! And, the gents behind the bar could not have been nicer, while the place has a pretty cool vibe. Love it! Get there!“

“Great beer, food and staff!“

“Awesome sandwich’s and great beer cheese soup“

“The ambiance is truly amazing, both indoors and outdoors, creating a delightful experience no matter where you choose to sit. The outdoor seating, in particular, offers a unique charm, with the natural feel of ruins adding a fascinating and atmospheric touch to the surroundings. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the environment.

The outdoor area also offers food service, allowing guests to enjoy a delicious meal while fully immersed in the ambiance. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and efficient, contributing to an overall enjoyable visit.

However, it’s important to note that the place can become quite crowded, especially on weekends. If you plan to visit during peak times, it's a good idea to plan ahead or make a reservation to ensure you get the best experience without long waits.“

“Love this place! Great beer! Great staff!“

“Very positive experience. My wife has celiac and can't have gluten, so we made it a point to stop here while in the area. We will come back, she had nothing but good things to say about the beverages she ordered. I even tried the root beer, which was also excellent.“

“Fantastic menu - lots of great choices and a nice, spread out space with lots of natural light. Unique beers that are delicious!“
