Another stop on the pub pass checked off. Went here with the kiddo and it was very pleasant. I got a free BOGO beer with my pub pass app. Bar tender was super friendly and helpful! Plenty of seating and it literally looks like a boat inside. Word of advice: stop at the ice cream place across the street for a tasty treat!! read more

Just the COOLEST vibe. It's boat/lake themed with most of the seating from actual boats! A great space. SO many beer options. Fun, light, fruited, IPAs, slushies Fair prices, fun merch, great little stretch of town. Must visit! ** only note to the owners/team - give the seats a wipe down more often, and there's a slight fly issue! read more

Played pickleball in the area, and definitely needed a cold beverage afterwards! We got lucky with front row street parking, but I'm guessing on busier evenings, you may need to street park a ways away! The space itself is a fun nod to some of the Northern Minnesota lakefront bars, which gives you a sense of chill, nautical vacation. Plenty of seating for small and large groups, although it is split between two rooms. The service was quick and friendly during our visit! The beer selection was diverse with the normal expectations/classics, but also some fun seasonal twists for the adventure seekers! I had the Personal Flirtation DeWeisse, which was their fruity sour. Tart, sour, and unique. I thought it was the perfect refreshing summer sipper! Others in my party tried the Coffee Blonde, which had a great light coffee flavor to compliment the lighter body of the beer itself. Would absolutely come back when in the area!! read more

We went to support my friends food truck pop up at this brewery. Nice and roomy, they have furniture from the boats for seating. The one room is the bar area and the other big room with the fire pit and jugs in the ceiling. Order drinks at the bar, they have beer, ciders, pizza, and pull tabs. Sit anywhere you like and a staff member will come around to pick up empty cups and garbage. I tried the blue raspberry seltzer, it was pretty good. Tastes like blue jolly rancher. read more

Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Race 2025 Stop 3/120 - MN We made it a point to come back here after falling in love with the place last year. (No peanut butter porter has come remotely close to their heavenly concoction) - still love the place! The design is brilliant. Grab your friends and head in for a brew or two & hit the food truck (bbq today) We made the mistake of overeating before heading in this time. We were sluggish & unenthusiastic, a real disservice to the establishment. As such, we'll head back in next time we're in town... Service was as good as last time & we're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Friendly & good service, good bar environment, plenty of seating, they have a decent sour on tap! Humor is welcomed here. read more

Another visit to use our pubpass. They have a nice deck and sidewalk tables. We enjoyed our beers outside with our grand pups on a beautiful October afternoon. I had the Impersonator - Dopplebock. It's a dark, potent beer that was tasty. They had dog water dishes for the pups. Brother's Gutierrez was the food truck. We just wanted a snack and I asked for chips and salsa which wasn't on the menu but they gave us something much better. The chips were warmed and served with 2 cups of guacamole, a cup of pico, and a cup of melted cheese. Perfect. Great stop and a perfect to afternoon to soak up the sun outside. read more

My wife and I have tried your brewery like 4 or 5 times. It's a cool brewery to have a beer. But the beer isn't the greatest. Especially having so many on tap you would think they would be a little better. The service is always great but not sure if we will be back again. read more

The furthest from us in our @pubpassmsp @pubpass was @boathouse_bros. Well worth the drive. The seats are boat seats!! Lots of boating decor and you can't help but smile at all the decorations. They have a full pontoon seating on their patio. My fav part was the beer taps were floating boat keychains. Beer was tasty too but ambience definitely made this a great visit!! They occasional have food trucks outside in front but I did notice they have frozen pizzas as well! read more

Great drink they brew all the beer there and it's very tasty would have been 5 stars however the seats are very uncomfortable

Inaugural visit yesterday. Was greeted by Scott and Emmett, friendly fellows!! I told them the Giesenbrau assistant brewer had recommended the Birthday Cake Cream Ale and the Maelstrom DIPA. Scott promptly poured me a taster of the DIPA, and... it was delicious!! A higher ABV than I was looking for so they asked if I liked coffee beers? I was steered to the delicious Run-A-Gound. I had a pint of that and the Spiral collab Birthday Cake Cream Ale, both were palate-perfect delicious!! Noticing the floatable keychain taps and the boat seat I was sitting on I told Emmett I love when there's a theme and you run w it!! It was a 50* day so the garage doors were open, making it a comfortable visit. As it got later, quitting time, the brewery quickly filled up w friendly folks!! I really enjoyed every aspect of my visit; the friendly owner& staff, cool patrons, delicious beer and the space was just so comfortable! Street parking was easy. Looking forward to a future visit when I will have a flight or two to try the rest of the offerings! They have a seltzer w several different flavorings, from raspberry to mojito. Thanks Boathouse Brothers for such a delicious and enjoyable inaugural visit!! Cheers! read more

My wife and I drove 25 minutes south of Minneapolis to Prior Lake and this good sized restaurant is right on Main Street. There was also a bustling Farmer's Market going on. We sat near an open window, due to the virus and I ordered an IPA. Great IPA chosen off a great selection of beers. We chatted some more, and my wife made an Italian meat and cheese board, which paired beautifully with the hoppy beer. My last beer was an Oatmeal Cookie Porter. Very different than the IPA, but equally as good. There is a nature reserve we walked around for about an hour that helped burn some calories as well. Cool brewery in Prior Lake! read more

This place deserves five stars! We walked in and immediately the staff greeted us with friendliness and was attentive, patient and helpful. He made us feel like we belonged in this quaint, neighborhood brewery. If I lived in Prior Lake, I'd def frequent this place often! It's a laid back sea coast/lake vibe. I almost felt like the ocean could be right out the door, alas it's a frozen lake albeit beautiful! I got the flight of six and really glad I did! Sometimes it's hard to tell what will be a fave until we try them all! They had IPA, sour beer, lagers and dark beer. As a fan of dark beer, my two absolute faves were Doctor Punch and Base Porter by far. Decadently delicious! read more

Boathouse Brothers Brewing - Flight of six, oops one's already empty :) - Breweries Near Me - Prior Lake, Minnesota

What a cool and fun place! They beer was great, and there were quite a few options to choose from. The night I went (a thursday) there was live music, which was excellent! We were at the bar inside, but there is also outdoor seating. If hungry, most nights they seem to have a food truck out front. When there isn't a food truck they have pizza options available...nothing fancy, i think just frozen pizzas...but what else could you need? Great beer, great ambiance, love music...such a cool place. read more

Super cute place with all of the boat decor. Great selection of beer and friendly staff. I don't think they have much for food (maybe frozen pizzas or something). You can tell that a lot of thought went into creating this place. read more

Great new venue, love the atmosphere. There cream ale was really good one of the best in a while. There blonde ale has a cigarette after taste I was not a fan.

This is the third time I've been here. The first time with my mom and cousin. Joe the beertender has a great sense of humor and provides many free samples. I tip him well. Today Kevin, the owner supported Apple Valley Baseball Booster Club with a growler and fill for an event. Thanks again. My favorites here are Octoberfest, Thermocline Cream Ale and Limocline Cream Lager and Kolsch. Today was girl scout day and the Peanut Butter one was also good. My cousin brought her 2 kids and they had sodas. We moved to this lounge area which was converted pontoon cushion seating how rad. As it was girl scout cookie sale day there were families with kids and I played connect four and bean bag toss with the kids. It was nice to catch up and visit with our cousin. This was her first time here and she said she'll be back. In warmer months the windows and garage doors will be open. Now if Prior Lake will just let them allow dogs. They won't fill your growler unless it's theirs. They will collect any growler and exchange it for theirs. It has a cool logo of a boat propeller on it. read more

Great spot in AV! I stopped here for some beers with my parents and there was a ton of seating and different areas where you could hang out. The vibe is good and it's pretty close to the water. I think you should give it a shot if you are looking for good beer and vibes. read more

Got the hazy IPA and it was flat and not very IPA. Definitely hazy. Felt like I was drinking beer syrup. Fun space though with big windows that open to outside by a counter to sit at. Unfortunately that means TONS of flies... read more

Just opened in an area without a lot of competition. Nice selection of Stanard brew styles. Like IPA, lager and stout. All are pretty good and we will see how they develop. Food truck was Sandy's but we did not try. Area had lots of parking. read more

Just opened this weekend and I like most beers so maybe not the most critical reviewer and full disclosure- one owner is my cousin. But it's a fun roomy place with friendly service and a nice selection of beers. Food truck on location although we did not try that. Great addition to Prior Lake! read more

Awesome beers. Relaxed atmosphere. Fun and friendly staff. Food truck rotation is good.

Checking out this brewery and it does not disappoint. Currently drinking the Hefeweizen, but the Summer Sanson was my favorite tonight. Super cute, chill atmosphere with good music and good staff. Ready to nom on this food truck (ODB Meat and Greet - btw TASTY!) from one cool ass chick and enjoy the evening! read more

Boathouse Brothers Brewing - Yum! - Breweries Near Me - Prior Lake, Minnesota

Although the buildout is cute on the inside with ample seating, the beers are less than desirable. I was really hoping for another hangout in Prior Lake, and I want to see businesses do well, but I struggled to get even one beer down. I have been twice and tried 6 of the beers, they felt flat and most tasted the same. Now I love good IPAs, with high IBUs, but even these were too bitter for me! Maybe beers will improve as they get more established, but for now, I will have to try other places! Such a bummer! read more

Atmosphere is fun boat vibe. If you come here dont sit down and expect to have someone take an order. Sat at a table as first time customers for a while before we were told had to place order at the bar. Table signs notifying customers as such would be helpful or sign on wall. The Rose draft was awful with after taste. The oatmeal Stout is very good with a coffee flavor. CTZ is okay. Would be nice if the offered a flight card so you can remember what you are drinking. On some days a food truck is available. read more

A BREWERY IN PRIOR LAKE! We've been wanting another hangout in the area, and this is such a great addition! Perfect downtown location and a quick drive once we get off the lake. Such a neat atmosphere and really stays in tune with the "boathouse" theme with their décor, color scheme, and taps. They have a fun variety of beer, an awesome way to present their flights, and food trucks available outside. We are so excited they're here and highly recommend it! Great beer, nice staff and a wonderful ambiance. CHEERS! read more

For a new brewery these guys are doing pretty well. The decor is amazing and the beers are great to. Personally I don't like IPA's or heavy dark beers but the lighter ones that brew are really good...sorry I forgot the names for them. I've been here twice and I really need to head back. read more

Love the "boathouse" themed decor!! What a cozy place and great service. We will definitely be back!

Boathouse Brothers is a very cool space. They have made the inside look like a boat, with custom wood floors and boat style seats. The beer is just Okay. We've been there on 3 occasions and every time they have been out of at least a couple of their beers. For some places, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but given that they only had 7 or 8 taps, it was a challenge to find an option for each person in my party. Being a craft beer person, I know that breweries just starting out need time to develop their own style and perfect their craft. We will be back for the atmosphere, but hope that they continue to improve on their beer selection. read more

Boathouse Brothers is welcoming and has a great event space and games. The space is reminiscent of northern Minnesota lake life and the music level is great for conversation - not too loud. Wide range of beers on tap (15 beers) and great service. Friendly, personable staff. Would come back! I live in a northern suburb and would make the hour trip to come again! read more

Lots of great beer options and very friendly staff! I recommend the blueberry beer. It is not too sweet, but hints of fruit flavor.

Nice little brewery downtown prior lake. Good service and friendly staff. We just moved here and have been twice.

Unfriendly. Was not greeted and ignored. No one at brewery and the three employees made no eye contact. We had to say hi and they said hi and walked away without asking what we want. They will not make it if they dot realize all customers matter not just their best friends. read more

Service is super friendly, fast, and enjoyable. The brewery has a cool vibe that you will feel at home in as a Minnesota native living on the lake. The beers are SO good! There is always one for every taste, whether that be a sweeter stout, a hoppy IPA, a lighter ale, or a special. The owner is super nice, and everyone I've encountered (as I've been 4 times now) has been super friendly. They have food trucks often, and I have yet to try something I didn't like. Definitely a great place for a PL hang out! read more

Awesome large space with a nice vibe. Beers are very decently priced. Not a huge beer selection, lots of ales on tap, but they are tasty! I went on a Saturday afternoon & would have liked to see some snacks or food available, but didn't. However, it's a brewery not a restaurant! Having some cards & boardgames around the taproom would have added a little fun... it felt a little bare, but did have a great interior & very friendly staff. Worth checking out for sure! read more

It's obvious they put a lot of work into creating a unique design for the brewery in what was a bar previously. Staff was amazing, including Kevin, the owner. Exactly what Prior Lake needs in a slow, quiet downtown area without much entertainment. Not to mention, the food truck Nachos hit the spot. IPA was pretty good. Can even sit by the garage door windows (which open when not raining and nice out) to get the spring / summer breeze. It's a must try. Also, please try the "final rose" beer. Only Arie is not welcome here haha read more

Great beers, a well-trained and knowledged staff, and love the ambiance! For only being open a few days, they have done very well. Looking forward to future visits! read more
