13 Best Craft Breweries near Burnsville

“First time here today for chess club meetup. I was greeted right away and the gentleman/owner was super nice and helpful. Fun yet low key environment that had cool decor with fun chairs, tables and keys on the wall. It was clean, they played good music, kinda like an upbeat coffee house. They let us bring in our own snacks. They have beer, soda, seltzer and 2 NA drinks available along with pretzels for purchase. Will come back!“

“Friendly staff and a very well appointed and clean spot. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable I thought. I liked that they had food on the premises versus a food truck outside. My son had the corn dogs and liked them but we both agreed the pretzel bites were not good. To me they tasted like Sysco food and the cheese dipping sauce also was gritty and not to my liking.I didn't care for the beers either (I got a flight). The milkshake IPA was the best of the ones I tried.So my review is mostly a four star due to the nice facility and good service, not the food and drink.“

“Family owned business making the most of every square inch they have. So much respect for everything they do and stand for. Value, Consistency, and Integrity!! Food and service are amazing. Super kid friendly. Just high quality food and service!!“

“Very solid beer selection and good atmosphere all around- workers at the beer counter were very friendly and knowledgeable and helped me with choosing the best option for my taste buds. Had the Montreal steak burger and it was solid, rest of the menu looked pretty good as well!“

“Great brewery with a very cozy atmosphere. This is a place I could see spending lots of time at if I lived nearby. Nice game selection. Kid & dog friendly. Good assortment of activities and food trucks on the schedule. Highly recommend.“

“I had the Hearty Woodsman Ginger. This is some seriously delicious kombucha. It makes for a perfect beverage whilst nibbling appetizers, savoring dinner, or just sitting in the sunshine or the chilly autumn air. Now go and get ye some☺️.“

“I love Bald Man Brewing! As a South Minneapolis resident i don’t usually gravitate to the suburbs for breweries. But my parents live in Eagan, and we drive right by it. We’ve been a number of times and I’m always happy and impressed with their brews. The Tupelo Honey Brown Ale is a particular fave of my wife and i. Malty, toasty, and flavorful, as a good brown ale should be.I also really appreciate how family friendly they are. We’ve brought our kids a few times and they run around.Cheers!“

“Such a fun vibe with the boat seats (also super comfy!!) Hugee variety of beers, lots of room inside, & garage windows open on nice days! Seltzers are a great GF option and there’s N/A cream ale too. Highly recommend stopping by boathouse!! ?“

“We LOVE Fat Pants. It's our favorite local watering hole. They have a great variety of beers, seltzers, THC/CBD drinks and satisfying menu items. We also love their trivia nights, live music, Oktoberfest week, etc. Fat Pants makes every holiday fun and festive. The only downside is how crowded it's becoming. They need to expand, it's becoming so popular. If anything, an expanded patio would help - bonus if it could be covered & heated in the colder months.“

“The food here is really good. Their hot wings can actually get really hot, so be warned. The southwest egg rolls are amazing and you can't really go wrong with a burger here. They also have a great beer selection.Vegetarian options: Vegetarians may actually curl into the fetal position and cry here. Pretty sure even the water has meat in it.“

“Finally made it in yesterday. I really loved the space, so much light w the store front being all windows!! Loved even more that when I glanced around the tap room was regular height tables. Win!! The beertender was helpful and knowledgable, as I asked him about a few beers he pointed out "all the descriptions are pretty accurate." Parking is easy w the shared lot w next door Lakeville Brewery and street parking. I loved the wooden state of MN on the wall w the hop in Lakeville! I opted for the 9.2% Belgian Tripel - Menage A Trois and the refreshing Cerveza Del Lago. As I told my beertender "you are my 280th brewery". At this high of a brewery number I encountered a first.... beer pours are offered as 5oz, a taster size pour or a large 20 oz pour. As someone who most of the time opts for a 10oz tulip pour I was a bit bummed, but in reality w the high Belgian ABV, 5oz was all I wanted of this beer. The 5oz pours are offered at a reasonable $3.I may be the 10oz minority....it's obviously working for Angry Inch to offer these two sizes. In reality it's not something that would deter me from returning, I was just surprised as in all my brewery travels I've never encountered this option. The lights above the tables are fun, bottomless growlers! Thanks Angry Inch for the inaugural visit to your cozy tap room!“

“Laid back environment. There were a couple of families with kids but definitely feel it’s more of an adult place. Great waitstaff. Good drinks. Fantastic food. Generous portions. Lots of side options.Parking: Shares a parking lot with other businesses. Was there on a Sunday at 5pm and had no problem getting a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: The feel is more adult. Bar atmosphere.“

“It is very rare that I go out of my way to write a review but I wanted to commend our server, Nicholas, who was an absolute joy. He was attentive, filled our drinks without missing a beat, and did it all with a very pleasant demeanor. On top of the wonderful service, our food was fabulous! After todays experience, we will definitely be coming back and asking for Nicholas. Thank you for a stellar experience!“
