Great vibes and even better beer!

My partner asked for a couple samples of the two lagers on tap and was told those are the only two beers they don’t sample. Because they’re on side pull taps, they said it wastes more beer than it’s worth to sample. Understandable. But then they added that we don’t need to sample a lager to know if we want to drink it… Weirdly pretentious comment. Based on the fact that they had 8+ hazy IPAs on tap, it’s hard to know if they’re gonna do a lager well. We ordered one lager anyway, and they ended up giving us the other lager for free. Nice gesture for sure, but weird to be told we can’t sample because it wastes beer, then be given a whole beer we didn’t order? Feels more wasteful, especially given that the lagers weren’t great, and we didn’t finish them.Overall left a bad taste in my mouth. Literally and figuratively!

My favorite brewery during my visit to the Twin Cities. Epic beer at a reasonable price. Very friendly, but they made me eat SPAM! The musubi was pretty good tho.

Great service...loved my ice cream social stout...tho the menu was very heavy on IPA...not my fav. LOVED Bougie Waffle pop up for Sunday brunch

We really want to enjoy this space but it's one of those """"family friendly"""" breweries that some parents feel way too comfortable taking advantage of. There's absolutely nothing for children to do here so inevitably they get bored and misbehave and the parents have two drinks and stop parenting altogether. My parents never dragged me along to the bar as a child, nevermind let us roam free in an establishment like wild animals, so I don't understand it. I'm not sure subjecting your children to that type of environment is respectful of the kids or the other patrons. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's rather selfish. If you choose to drink around your young children, please be respectful of others.Beers are good but the space is absolutely nothing special. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Great beer and fun atmosphere! This was another stop on our beer passport, where I got the "One Way to M.I.A" super fruity and juicy, and a little bit sour, which I loved. Parking was definitely scarce on a Saturday night, but the yummy beer and board games definitely made up for it!

Hands down my favorite brewery. Phenomenal beers, great atmosphere. It's never a bad time! If I'm near St Paul I will drive out of the way to stop in for a taste or to take some to go. I highly recommend a visit!

Love this place. Terrific beer and a very cool tap room. I'll have to take pictures on my next visit. Their beer list focuses heavily on ipas, but they also make some very good other styles. Their Pilsner and lite beers are very good, for example. They generally have a couple of sours on, which are also very good. Small place in general, but good use of space. Lots of seating around the bar. They have a patio for additional seating during the warm months. Great place before or after a Saints baseball game. A short walk away. Sometimes they also have barrel aged stout bottles offered for on site consumption, and they do a great job with that style of beer. Friendly service and a welcoming vibe. One of my favorite beer spots in the Twin Cities
