    corner sandwich board
    Nikki B.

    With holiday free parking Monday I stopped in. Chatting up beertender Chris I asked when they opened? They had their soft open on Friday, 16 February and their grand opening will be 13 March. There's a sandwich board sign on the corner... but the tap room signage isn't great so they're a couple doors from the corner....look for the 25 above the door and the small BL in the corner of the window to the right of the door. They're in the old Clockwerks space...which I had only been in in a couple times and that was in 2017. Chris said they painted the bar top. I like that the west wall was black but they had painted or chalked brewing murals on it. The tap room is standard height tables...yeah! The padded bar stools are comfortable and a good height so you don't have to climb up on them! The tap list is in the upper NE corner near the front window. When I told Chris thank you and that I just returned from a metro area that only had QR codes he replied that that is where they are headed. They also had a few food items menu next to the beer menu. Along the west wall there is a shuffleboard table and fooseball table. When I went to the restroom and headed back to the bar I spotted shelves of board games.....if you were hoping for some of that action. In the center of the tables is a Erlenmeyer Flask w chalk in it. The flight pours are in little beakers. It wasn't too busy @ 2:00 open on a Monday so I was able to chat up friendly and informative beertender Chris. He told me their brewer is from Earth Rider. Shortly later another fellow appeared behind the bar so I asked if he was the brewer? He was not he was the delightfully informative tap room manager Matthew. It was great chatting him up about New Mexico and brewing there, where Brew Lab 101 originated. A lot of beery knowledge was shared yesterday.....thanks Matthew! I like the large open space and only having the north wall as windows, a lot of light was there. You can't miss the skyline silhouette mural on the south wall. There are currently seven beers on tap. Chris said if I wanted to taste everything, so two flights of four, he would pour what was listed and add in one secret beer that wasn't listed. I opted for this route. After making it through about six tasters I was getting really full so I didn't order a pint of everything. I'm happy to report they do offer 10 oz tulip pours if you choose not to opt for a full pint! Surprisingly for seven beers on tap, no sours. I'm ok with it but was just really surprised. I was most intrigued with the 505, the Green Chile Mexican Lager. It was delicious and didn't bring the heat like I thought it would. Just a good not too spicy beer. The secret beer? Dill. The 505 with a splash of pickle juice....served with a small cut of a pickle spear. The Sexi Meexi was good and tasted like your big brand Mexican lagers. It was truly delightful getting to chat up Matthew and Chris about Brew Lab, some MN brewery related laws and just any of the things. A few of the beers will definitely be up a HopHead's palate more than mine. I was glad I got to try them. I appreciated Chris' assist when he handed me the flight, just in tap list order and I asked: but what order would you drink these in? I scoffed when he put the flight down and said I may not like the Wicked Pissah since it's an IPA. I replied: but it's NE and Hazy, two styles I do like! However the bitter IPA was dominant in the brew so it wasn't bad but as he thought, not really my jam. After I tabbed out I asked Chris "did I not see somewhere to tip you on that?" Chris said I did not, the 20% service fee is built in. I just checked my receipt...he was corect; O was charged $9.00 for each flight and a $3.60 service fee. Thanks for a very informative and fun inaugural visit Brew Lab 101!

    It would have been great, if they were open when they said they were! 7:00 and the doors were locked and chairs up on tables.

    It was my turn to pick a spot for book club and I'm having I picked wooden hill brewing! This place…read moreis huge, when we were there on a Tuesday they had one space with a retirement party, one space with bingo, and one space hosting a painting lesson. The outside tables were readily available because it was a very hot and sunny day. They don't have table service so everyone has to line up to order and then they provide a buzzer to let you know when your food and drinks are ready. I enjoyed my flat bread that had sausage and ricotta on it; I really enjoy unique flavor combos on my pizza/flatbread, just wish they had hot honey! I also ordered a Moscow mule seltzer which exceeded my expectations! Usually seltzers taste off to me but this one tasted just like an actual mule!

    This place was fun! We stopped in on a Friday evening and it hit the spot. There is a ton of…read morespace so do not let the cars deter you from going. The line was very quick as well. We are not frequent beer drinkers but breweries are the place to try new flavors! I went for the Big Bee Energy & my husband had the Gold Top Brussel sprouts were great! Salads also Great! Next time we will try the flatbread & burgers! Family friendly, dog friendly patio!
