Back Channel Brewing Co.

Amazing brewery with top rated beers, great seltzers, outstanding atmosphere. They have a huge screen outdoors showing sporting events as well as great food trucks for food.

Best brewery ever! They have my favorite beer and we would drive 40 minutes just to go to this brewery. Highly recommend.

Great outdoor area with a large screen to watch sports.

Great beer, great outdoor space, and the BEST merchandise!

A few years ago, we bid on and won a tasting at Back Channel at a charity auction supporting the WeCan organization. The tasting was supposed to be for six people but Josh Leddy, one of the co-owners, happily accommodated my request that I could bring over 8 friends who were visiting from out of town this past Friday. The tasting was fantastic. Not only was the beer tasty but Josh was super-generous with his time - sharing information about beer-making in general, the different beer that we were tasting and the history of Back Channel. If you haven’t been, go check out Back Channel. Great beer, a great space, daily food trucks and great ownership that’s committed to the community. Thanks Josh!

Nice spot, fun to watch the boats.

Amazing space —bring the party here

Good brews good vibes and good music.

Best beer in MN for most varieties and elite vibes/food trucks!

Great selection of rotating beers that makes each visit unique. Amazing outdoor patio with plenty of seating that’s dog friendly. Highly recommended

Great location. Great beer. Nuff said.

The Best Gay Bar in Tonka!!! Back Channel held a GORGEOUS LGBTQ2S+ Pride Festvial, and proudly displays the Pride Flag on its pole. Pride merchandise is available for purchase! This is the best Gay Bar in the area. Thanks for giving the LGBTQ2S+ Community a safe space to gather in Tonka!

I LOVED the beer—not just a little, a LOT. I love all beer, but every single one I tried in my beer flight was phenomenal. There's so much seating and the food truck options are top-tier. It's a gorgeous space on the water, there's a giant screen outside with a game on, and it has a wonderful vibe overall. It's pretty busy, so it gets loud, but overall, the beer was worth it. I'm 100% coming back again in the future. If you love great beer and beautiful scenery, you won't be disappointed with Back Channel Brewing.

Back Channel is my number one go-to spot. The beer is always solid, the people are great, and the lakeside location never gets old. It’s just a place that gets it right every time.

Love the friendly atmosphere. Many events. Family and dogs welcomed. Outside is great with large movie screen for sport events. Great DJ.
