    I drove up to Elk River to patronize some new-to-me breweries. The first of which was @aegirbrewco . A huge taproom with plenty of indoor / outdoor space, fantastic music that was hitting some nostalgia for me, and a unique flight board that went with the SKOL vibe. With how viking-esque the flight board was, I had to do my best to fill it out with six different beers. Aegir IPA A traditional IPA hopped with Chinook, Cascade, and Falconers Flight. Aroma was medium pine and low citrus. Flavor was medium low bitterness, medium low pine, low orange rind, and a mild caramel malt on warming. PB Allfathers Porter A good old fashioned Peanut Butter Porter. The base porter brings a low unroasted coffee beans and chocolate flavor that is balanced by a medium high unsalted / unroasted peanut (nice dry peanut butter). Huge nutty PB aroma. Elder Cherry Sour A Kettle Sour fruited with elderberries and black cherries. Medium high cherry aroma with hints of almost a herbal quality and lower levels of elderberry. There is medium tartness with sweet black cherry, elderberry, and low acid. Call Me a Cab A very unique Wine Ale that resembles a Cabernet Sauvignon. If you close your eyes you could be fooled. Beautiful red/purple tint. Mild tannin notes like a Cab, cherry and sweet chocolate flavors. Dark molasses and dark cherry aroma floods the nose. I have never had a beer like it and it was my favorite of the bunch! Idunn's Apple A Fruit Beer with a rice base (near-gluten free). It has a refreshing and crisp light body. There is no overwhelming acidity which maintains its drinkability. Light apple flavor (sweeter varietal) with notes of honey from the fermentation process used. Ol Fashioned An Experimental Beer brewed to resemble an Old Fashioned. Medium high angostura, low cherry, and low vanilla aroma. Medium angostura, medium low cherry, and medium low vanilla sweetness on taste. Another unique beer in the line-up!

    This is a very interesting looking place with good beer. We were served quickly. We chose a flight since it was our first time here and we wanted to try different things. Smokin' Hot a blonde beer with a smoky, spicy flavor is a good choice. The PB porter has a good peanut butter flavor with a bitter finish. They are very dog friendly and there were 3 while we were there. It has a Norse theme and I really liked the keg sink in the bathroom. The bartender was friendly and the customers all seemed to be having a good time.

    We've been here twice to support a friend playing for a live music night. They have a large indoor and outdoor (canopy) taproom. HUGE selection of beer with an amazing variety. They have gluten free drink and non alcohol drinks. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They often have different activities like bingo, corn hole tournaments or themed night. There often are food trucks which delicious grub. We Love when our friend plays here and would recommend it to anyone!

    Not a far bicycle ride from one end of the Great Northern Trail. Well worth the couple of blocks to check out this brewery! Check their website to see what food trucks will be in their lot! Today it was "Thai One On" food truck (pad Thai was plentiful & delicious). Lots of open space out back! There is a fenced dog park on the side of the building! What an amazing idea!

    Outside of the brewery, view looking northwest from the driveway entrance.

    Tonight was my first visit to Aegir Brewing in Elk River - 4 stars! First of all, this place is really tricky to find. The main problem is most of the internet listings (as of this date) display their old address in downtown old town Elk River. They're now in a big industrial park on the far northwest end of town (north on Proctor Avenue), just west of the bus company. The main road does a big U into and around the industrial area. Aegir is in the back. Once you find the building, the entrance is in the back, on the northwest corner. I really like the atmosphere at Aegir. All of the employees were very nice. The customers were totally chilled out and friendly. It's definitely a "come as you are" kind of place, dress however you want...Carhartt work clothes or a suit & tie...whatever. Everything has a Viking theme. Even the flight caddy is a long metal thing that looks somewhat like a Viking long ship. They have incredible number of beers with a dazzling array of flavors. Want an IPA? They have it. Want something light? They have it. Want a sour apple beer? They have it. Want a peanut butter flavored dark beer??? They have that too! I got a flight of 6 (see photos). But they had a total of 20 taps on the back wall. They also have a few other beverages (like seltzers), a cooler full of beer to-go, and lots of snacks. There's a room in back with lots of merchandise. Finally, this brewery is totally dog friendly. In fact, this is one of a hand full of places that actually allows dogs inside the main room. They have a goody bag full of various dog treats behind the counter. Ask them, they'll pull it out for you. Very fun! My big Mastiff and I had fun hanging out, visiting the food truck, saying "hi" to customers & employees, and sharing pretzels. Thumbs up! -Maxx

    Love their flight!

    Went on a Friday afternoon around 3pm and it wasn't too busy. Place started to fill up closer to 4pm. Cute place!

    Flight

    First time here. Stopped on way to St Cloud. Ordered a flight of these: Shield Maiden: Blonde 5.2 ABV. Nice and light, very good. Heimdalls Hefe: 4.5 ABV, easy drinking, good hoppy aftertaste. Homestead Farmhouse Saison: 8.7% ABV good Smoking Hot Blonde: 5.2 ABV. One word Yuck! Tasted like cigarettes and ashes dumped in beer. What were they thinking? Ran Amber Ale : 4.5% ABV good. What sets brewery apart as Beertender asked about my beers and I said that I didn't care for Smokey one and she replaced it with another one I liked. Talk about going above and beyond! I made conversation with guy next to me at bar. He said brewery is pronounced "A Year". He also told me about 2 breweries in Monticello named Rustec and Nordic and other one Hayes in Buffalo. He suggested I try Hammered Double IPA at 9.3 ABV it was surpisingly good and hoppy. The place was tiny but the beer was solid. The logo was cool. They had a collection of other breweries growlers, so they exchange them. Highly recommend.

    Love the outdoor space (as well as the indoor - though a little dark) great place to catch up with friends and relax. I was not a fan of the beer though - I'm an IPA person and none of theirs stood out to me. I got a flight just to give the others a chance but wasn't for me. Also - would love more selections. Everyone has different taste buds so this might be somewhere worth checking out and see for yourself. Staff was nice. Also, note - no food just snacks

    Enjoying DIPA #1!

    Good beers and a cool atmosphere. Definitely one of the smaller taproom I've been to. The Allfathers Porter is excellent.

    The blood orange was sooooo good and refreshing and the IPA was good, not too tart like they can be!

    Otsego really needed a local brewery and Ripple Effect knocked it out of the park!…read more Confession, I still haven't tried their beer after visiting a dozen times or more, but it's only because their flavored seltzers are always on point! Great use of space with ample seating. They always bring local entertainment, have a rotation of awesome food trucks, TVs showing local/national sports, and plenty of board games to keep you entertained. Be prepared for rotating/seasonal options, but please go check them out. They've done a wonderful job at repurposing the old Hardee's building.

    This is exactly what this area needed! We were absolutely elated to see signs for Ripple Effect in…read moreRogers. We were eagerly awaiting its opening and have visited a couple of times since. There's a fair amount of inside seating. They have board games, TVs for sports, and rotating food trucks/live shows. The first time we sat inside, played Guess Who?, and watched the Gopher game. It was relatively quiet and we could easily have a conversation. The second time, there was live music, the place was full of people, and it was loud (for good reason!). We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the fall air. There was enough noise from the road to make it so we weren't invading other conversations but quiet enough to enjoy our own. We've really enjoyed the seltzers! You can choose up to two flavors with the Little Ripple. We love the Pear/Mango combination. The Won't Let Go is a higher ABV, but you can't go wrong with a piña colada flavor. We're waiting for them to offer Growlers/Crowlers for the seltzers!
