Really nice place.. New shiny many different bars/restaurants in one place.. Great
The beer is amazing! Everything we tried was spot on. Even the sours were fantastic.
Had an awesome time and the hotel room was top notch! Will definitely be going back.
It had been six or seven years since my last visit, and there have been significant changes. I'm not sure what to think of the market area and the hotel, but as long as they keep producing quality beers, I can overlook their ambition.
I stayed for a flight, and all but one were good to great (I missed the fine print about choosing a frozen treat). This would definitely be a stop if I find myself in Fargo again.
Tried 7 different sours and haven't been disappointed yet. All delicious. The 3.5 hour drive totally worth it and would do it again.
I'm from NC where I am saturated in great beer. It's so nice to come to Fargo and find a place just as good as the breweries in NC! Love this damn place!!! Come here every time I come to Fargo. Such a solid collection of beers and the space is kick ass!
Love LOVE the vibe here!! Just go and you won't be disappointed! Why else would I name my dog Drekker!!
This place is HUGE. No idea before coming plus had a hotel and food hall attached would recommend to stay at while in Fargo. Some of the best smoothie style and milkshake style sour beers in the country, only couple that do it anything like they do here in North Dakota. Not just sour, but more tart and sweet. Many just like a desert. The boozy soft serve ice cream, fried ice cream, was as good as it sounds too and must on a hot day there.
Always excellent beers that are creatively crafted.
Service is up at the bar but you can sample and take your time, fun atmosphere. Always crowded for good reason.
Drekkers dipa's and Brains smoothies are amazing as well as their sours.They are definitely next level quality. My brother is coming up to Canada for Christmas and he wants to take some brews back to Florida. It is a must beer for the holidays. Hopefully we can get the Drekkers imported to Canada but it is worth the trip into North Dakota to get my favorite beer.Thank you guys! Merry Christmas 🎅

Demonic haven... Symbolism everywhere..
Update to their response.
Yes, a lot of what I wrote below is from years ago. Some close to a decade. But if one has a half dozen bad experiences over the course of like 5 years, that tells a person a lot. The beer festival was not passed through the rumor mill, as I was there. It was Rare Beer Picnic 2018 I believe. That was either my first or second year there and I have been to everyone but one since. Its always been a 4 hour festival and has always been held in Moorhead, which is right across the river from Fargo, the location of Drekker. It is common for several breweries to run out of certain beers (their more specialty beers) or even all their beers near the end of the festival. But in all my years their I have never seen a brewery completely run out of beer the first 90-120 min of it. What made it even worse is they were so close to their brewery one would have thought they could have went back and grabbed a keg of beer, even if it wasn't a fancy one. They however did not do this. And maybe there was some legality with this, but I doubt it.
I posted my thoughts about this along with several other thoughts about Drekker on social media. One of the owners of Drekker, Mark, tried to get me fired from my job. It didn't work though. He was then suppose to reach out to me to discuss all my grievances. And he never did. That tells a person a lot right there. And not all of these are from that long ago. I was at Brewhalla about 2 years ago. It's honestly a really cool location, but that is where I asked a beertender the difference between two different double IPAs. All he told me was the alcohol content. I also asked about a half dozen of my close friends who are also really into beer, about their experience with the beer tenders. Two of the six pretty much told me the same thing. When asked some pretty basic questions about the beer on tap, they could not answer them. Now not everyone knows everything but one could go find another coworker that could answer or they could say they are new if they just started. As most people would understand that a new person could not answer many of the questions. They didn't do this though.
End of update
They have some good beers, that's no question. There service has always been the worst though. At their old location a worker refused to tap a new keg of root beer when the old one went, even though there was no one else in the brewery and they didn't close for over an hour. Had a beer put on my tab that wasn't mine. They argued and refused to take it off until my buddy realized it was his and he didn't get charged for if at first. They didn't apologize for that either. For several years they sent all their more exclusive beer to the cities and didn't send any to the F/M stores. The couple reps I have met from there are not friendly. Their beer tenders at their new location cannot really tell you the difference between most of their beers. They ran out of beer at a beer festival in Morehead one year. Keep in mind it was on 90 min into a four hour long festival too. And they would have been like 10-15 min tops away from their brewery. They could have grabbed something else. But nope they didn't care. No wonder they were never invited back. One of the owners, Mark, is a complete tool as well.
Once again, pretty good beer but the service and how they have run the business is horrible.
Beer was seriously off the chart, WAY WOW! Atmosphere was an added bonus! Definitely a beer connoisseur’s bucket list!
Drekker Brewing/Brewhalla is a staple of Fargo ND and a must see to anyone who is visiting the area. There is something for everyone here. Unique brews, a variety of shopping and food, fun pinball games, and the customer service is always phenomenal.
& don’t forget the cozy merch , tis the season
