Wonderful new to me at least spot!! Stopped in on the way home and even though it was raining outside it was 70 and sunny inside. I had their brown ale and it was delicious, nice malty taste without over powering hops. Loved the layout of the building, they even have food trucks!! The bartender was very helpful, offered useful advice on their beer selection. Parking: mostly street but it looks like there's a couple parking lots, not sure on how much $$. read more

Dual Citizen Brewing - Example of the meat raffles. - Breweries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

They set up for the MS bike riders to pick up our packets for the ride. That was very easy and then I went inside for a beer. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. They are definitely an IPA place but I was able to enjoy a lager. It was good and the patio is very nice. read more

I cant believe it took me eight years to get here!! Thanks to my buddy telling me a few days ago that they had free parking in the lot south of the brewery. Consulted beertender Leyton on which beer to order. I opted for a Belgian SolarShift. I liked the spacious, full of lots of natural light tap room. For being their anniversary celebration it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded....enough room to spread out! I sat in a chair by the couch, the gal I sat by was super friendly and once she left the people that replaced her were just as delightful. I appreciate a tap room w friendly people. It definitely won't take me eight years to get back. Thanks Dual Citizen for a great inaugural visit, cheers! read more

Went here for a recent event. The space reminds me a bit of another closeby brewery, with the bar right by the door amd seating on the outskirts. The tables were a little cramped together, but just made it cozy. Tried a fruit punch hard selzer, since the current rotation of taps just didn't seem to my liking. Hard selzer wasn't bad, not too sweet, although I heard from others that the other hard selzer flavor was exceptionally sweet. Can bring in food and it appears they use a rotation of food trucks, as there isn't a food menu here. read more

I'd honestly never heard of this place before I was in the area for the Beyoncé concert and wow!!! I feel bad that I have never been before!! Awesome drinks, cool space (outdoor seating!!) and they offer lots of options to have food delivered to the brewery so you can drink and enjoy some food!! I got their slushee jungle juice which was really good. I honestly didn't taste any alcohol in it, and it didn't feel very strong, but it was super refreshing and really delicious. So I'd definitely get it again. I love a good alcoholic slushee! read more

Dual Citizen Brewing - Jungle juice slushee - Breweries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Stopped by for the Harris Walz rally - the staff were on top of things despite having hundreds of patrons there. Never had to wait for a beer and the kolsch was extra refreshing. read more

Went here for a group event and it was the perfect space for it. The seating area is pretty small compared to other breweries but still has cool high tables. The raspberry seltzer tasted like juice and was very good. The best part is their partnership with the Naughty Greek where they deliver the food to your table! There's only street parking around it but there are always spots available. **I don't think they make the CBD drinks in house but they were completely flavorless and would not recommend. read more

Good beer. The bar tender in the gray man bun was a rude surly, condescending a**hole. We had one drink and then left...won't be back again. Went to Lake Monster Brewing, where the staff was friendly...and they had good beer. read more

I made a visit to @dualcitizenbrewing to give four of their beers a try on a sunny afternoon before the rain came in. Brave Noise: A Pale Ale that is part of the collaboration with breweries around the World (@bravenoisebeer) to support and advocate for safe spaces / inclusive environments for women, BIOPIC, and LGBTQ+ individuals in the industry. Medium bitterness with orange juice flavor. On the aroma is a medium-low tangerine and pine. Medium-low bready malt aroma and flavor that gives way to hops, but has enough balance where the hops do not overwhelm. MN Wild Rice Krispi Boi: This American Lager was brewed in collaboration with @skagitvalleymalting and @maltwerks by using Skagit Valley Malting's Talisman Pilsner and Buckwheat with MN Wild Rice, Vienna, and Acidulated from Maltworks. Very crisp with a slight drying sensation (yeast from @escarpmentpabs) that makes you want to keep taking another sip. Low bitterness with a doughy sweetness - great Lager for a warm summer day. Mayhem and Mischief 2021: This is DCBC's World Beer Cup winning American Barleywine. Loads of caramel and toasted bread crust flavor that is balanced by medium/medium-low hop bitterness. Maple sugar was added in this version of the Barleywine that provides depth to the caramel sweetness. Some molasses notes on the aroma as well - I can see how this won the Gold at World Beer Cup! Y'all: A Farmhouse Ale collaboration with @brewerybhavana. Juicy peach flavor explodes on the palate, but finishes with some funk from a barrel aged sour beer that was blended into it. Very mild acidity provides another layer of complexity to the beer. Very clear, tart, and fruity. Huge space with a lot of beer options! And with restaurants aplenty around the brewery (including the Naughty Greek), this is a brewery to visit and grab a few beers. read more

Another Pub pass stop (only 1 more to go!!) and this place was great. Just an fyi you need to show proof of VAX- we showed a screen shot on our phones. Bartender was friendly and informative as we don't really like 'hoppy' beers. The ones we got were both good. Place was busy but more then enough room to spread out. I imagine it would be a blast in the summer. Bonus- it was Santa pet photo day so it was a hoot watching all the dogs!! Will definitely stop by in the summer and even pick up food from the Greek place nearby! read more

Pub pass stop on a beautiful sunny fall afternoon. I chose the Sip, Sleep, Repeat, dry-hopped Norwegian Stout and it was very good. We had our grand dog with us and she was allowed in the brewery. It was very open with a lovely patio off the back. A mixture of families, couples, and groups of friends were the patrons on that afternoon. Staff was helpful. It's easy to get to off the freeway. We found parking on street and as it was a Sunday, it was free. Nice afternoon read more

Great beer, nice space, and perfect for viewing a fútbol match with friends. They even had a big screen for the Euro finals in addition to showing it on the teles. The Juice Tiger is delicious! Rawr! As were both the IPAs and the pale ale. Definitely will be back. Plenty of free parking as a bonus. read more

Like others have said, it's open and airy and a lot of great light coming in. The beer selection is well thought out with tasty options for both the beer connoisseur, and the non drinker. From sours, stouts, IPA's and more, to kombucha and cold press coffee. I'm fairly close to this place so I can frequent it more and it's the other little things that happen here that for me, bump this up to a five star. The first Saturday of every month a creative writing group from Hamline University has a thing here where authors and other writing instructors come and talk about how they kick start their writing process and other things. Myself, besides coming by for a sour or stout fix depending on the season, every other Saturday they do Yoga and a Pint for $15 and honestly, there is nothing better then a kombucha in the morning after the class. The instructors are from Vertical Endeavors and if you want a class that is about working on a specific body part and getting stretchy, this is your class. If you want to do a million chaturangas, you better go somewhere else cause that ain't gonna happen here. But that kombucha. Damn. Todays flavor is a blueberry ginger and it is so f'ng good that it compelled me to write this review(I'm actually having a second and for $3, it's a deal!). You can also order food from the Naughty Greek or Jimmy John's or bring something in from somewhere else. The Raymond/University intersection is really starting to become something cool with multiple record stores, antique shopping places to eat, and now with Dual Citizen, a mellow place to wet your whistle. read more

I first visited this place on a Thursday and I'll be back! This is a great brewery to catch up with friends with or get involved in some trivia. The beers taste great and the staff is very friendly. We were there for a music trivia night and the manager went out of his way to make sure we were able to register for the game. A food truck was on-site as well, not sure if it's a nightly occurrence. It looks like this brewery is very involved in the community- you have to check this place out! read more

The place is spacious for large parties. There's also outside seating. There was a small cart full of random games for you to play with in case you showed up with people who are not much of talkers :) If you are looking for a place to chill, you can come here. read more

I just moved in right above Dual Citizen, and damn... I feel lucky. This place is beautiful. Everyone working here was really chipper and friendly, and they had a great selection of beer! I tried a pint of Cashmere Rules Everything Around Me - a New England pale ale. It was fantastic! They also apparently offer delivery to your table from The Naughty Greek So that's a big bonus as well. Aaaaand CBD infused drinks if that's your thing? Anyway, this place is a gem. I'm glad it's a 30 second walk from my apartment. read more

New brewery in town-both Minneapolis & St. Paul (near the border). Hence the name Dual Citizen (Minneapolis/St. Paul). The beers were hardy and well bodied, I was there for the Kombucha! I had the Strawberry Kombucha that was cold, biting and delicious (a great deal at $3)! I think the popularity of this new spot is really going to grow, so I would recommend what we did: BICYCLE IN! There's a great bike rack out back, including a tire pump & tools for your bike. read more

My dog and I are new to town and new to the entire concept of local breweries. I'll say my Chief MaHomie and I hit it out of the park with Dual citizen being our first to visit. If not for a Dog Pass I bought to try out new breweries, we would never go elsewhere and it's always our first choice. Their staff is about as awesome as one could ask for and best of all, they allow my Chief to come inside on a hot day. I know now others do too, but it doesn't matter because these folks are awesome!!! read more

Dual Citizen Brewing - Chief MaHomie G - Breweries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This is a great spot! The taproom is large with a variety of seating options and lots of standing room. Large windows let in lots of light. We tried 4 different beers and really liked then all. We were there in a Friday night and they had a food truck available. I'm sure you can also order delivery from local spots. When we first arrived, around 4:00, there was plenty room but by 5:00 or so they were packed! You may have to be ready to stand - and stand in line - on a Friday/Saturday. Happy for them that they are this busy! The only downside is parking. Their website us good about showing you where you can park - a couple lots north of University or whatever street parking you can find. Not a big deal to have to walk a few blocks from where you parked, but winter slop just made it a little more challenging. If you're on the Green Line, it's very convenient. read more

A quick visit with a 1-beer review. The dual citizen stout on nitro is VERY good. And, this may be the place to come for Greek food. If you like the Naughty Greek, they deliver here... and Naughty Greek food is excellent... but happy hour food specials don't apply. Dog friendly patio, so no pooches in the winter. read more

Dual Citizen Brewing - The dual citizen stout on nitro is good. - Breweries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Wow you sure get a whiff of grains, malt, hops, I don't know after arriving. The place was short staffed on a Saturday as only one beertender working and there was a line. Tried these in a flight: Kellogg Cream Ale good, Raymond Octoberfest was lighter and good and Osceola Amber Ale which was good. The building seemed like it was an old warehouse and luckily I saw no mice. Its a good brewery to go to on the green line as it was close to Raymond stop. read more

I don't take pleasure in bagging on a brewery. That being said, I've also never left a drink on a table before... The space is nice. It is a large warehouse like area. Very open but still has a feeling of being a chill hang out area. Plenty of space to stretch out or bring some food in from the awesome Naughty Greek next door (super good). Now on to the brewery. I judge breweries on one of two things. Either a brewery sticks with the classics, but does them VERY WELL, or they swing for the fences in style and flavors. Dual Citizen seems to be trying to stick to the classics. The danger with sticking to the classics is that you can't really make any mistakes. Simplicity is actually harder in many ways because there is nothing to hide behind. The beer world is also super crowded, so your classics had better be damn good to stick out. We had two beers each from Dual Citizen when we came. The first I had was a Brut IPA. It was bad. There was just a lack of flavor or character from the beer. A Burt IPA should have fine bubbles and some bright flavors. This almost felt flat, and really had no citrus or stone fruit at all. The backend of the taste just became water. I tried their Dopplebock next, but opted for a smaller glass. Same issue with this beer. Just no flavor. It tasted like cereal water (which, yes, is technically what beer is). I took a few sips, but as soon as our friends car pulled up, I bolted for the exit leaving a full beer on the table. My husband had one of their IPA's and their Gose. He was not a fan of their IPA but it was drinkable. The Gose was also left on the table because, we both agreed, it didn't taste like a Gose. Not good, not good. 19/100 read more

Lots to like here. This is written about 3 weeks after their opening. The brewery name origin is subtle, yet so obvious, once they said why. It sits right on the boarder of Mpls. & St. Paul. Nice space - seems welcoming. (See photos) Nice seating/ table area. Looks like it can sit maybe 75 to 100 people. They are planning to open a small outdoor patio space this spring. Nice bar area. Cell phone chargers - always a plus. Parking does seem to be a bit of an issue. Very few spots in an adjacent lot. Street parking nearby is likely your best option. However, very convenient by transit. Green Line Raymond Light Rail Station is literally one block away. Beers Sampled: Ayd Mill Golden Smash 5% abv - This was my favorite of what I tasted. Very tasty, semi-wow factor (meaning better than expected), golden color (duh), hazy, easy drinking. If this stays on the menu, I predict this beer to be a popular beer here. Broadway IPA 5.5% abv - 75 ibu - a light copper color. Tasty, but no wow factor, kind of standard as IPAs go, a good beer though. Iglehart IPA 5.5% abv - 100 ibu - a deeper copper color. I understand this uses the same hops as the Broadway, but stays in the brewing process longer. A little dryer an earthier taste than the Broadway and actually like this a bit more. A little more bitter, bite and 'character'. Grand Imperial Stout 8% abv - 60 ibu - I did like this beer. But, no wow factor and seems kind of a standard Imperial Stout. Nice experience. Nice beer. It has my recommendation. read more

DCBC, as they call themselves, might stand for "Don't Care Beer Company." Offering a wide variety of unexceptional beers, many of which taste alike, DCBC excels in one area -- they've cornered the market on misanthropic servers. I've visited several times in the years they have been open -- mainly because it's within walking distance (parking is terrible). In 20+ visits, I'd say the server was friendly 5 times. About that number of times, including today, they seemed openly hostile. Indifference bordering on mild annoyance is typical. The space is beautiful. The hand crafted furniture, lovely. The bathrooms stylish and immaculate. There's a comfortable, roomy outdoor seating area. And people who greet you, as they did today, with an unwelcoming "what do you want?" Given the building boom in the neighborhood and the closure of the nearby Surly taproom, this is a great location for a business. Hopefully the next owners will get it. read more

They have extended their patio area and inside has seating. You have to use your phone to order brews. That took some getting use to to start but is easy check in and out. This place is amazing. A lot of outdoor space for socializing at safe distancing. The selection of craft beers are very good. Nice staff and helpful. I don't think you can sample anymore before purchasing but they are very knowledgeable about describing the brews. Easy parking and nice patio. Dogs welcome. Food truck allows you to order by your phone app. read more

Might be a bit biased here since I live literally above Dual Citizen but this is by far one of my favourite breweries here in the Twin Cities (gasp, over Surly?). First, you can just order the best Greek Food in town over at the Naughty Greek and it'll magically appear at your table in just moments. This is the future, I know. Second, other than Dual Citizen's excellent core brews, they also have rotating specials such as seasonal brews and experimental cask-aged version of their core selection. During this winter, I had the chance to taste their appropriate-named Winter beer, which was a pale ale brewed with juniper berries and spruce tips, and let me tell you what; I'm typically not a huge fan of IPAs but this beer was phenomenal. I don't think I've ever tasted anything like that and both my buddy and my girlfriend (who is not that into beer) who tasted it echoed my opinion. It was just so freaking refreshing and almost minty, with a hint of pine so perfectly blended in that the taste is almost indescribable (looking back on paper now it doesn't sound great but trust me....life changing). I'm pretty much here weekly just to check out if they have anything new to try. Currently, their Spring pale ale didn't blow my mind as much as the 2018 Winter, but it's still a delicious and highly drinkable beer. What's amazing now, as of 4/29/2019, is the BA Cromwell Baltic Porter, a porter lagered for 2 months in a whiskey barrel from a local whiskey distillery (Vikre Sugarbush Whiskey to be exact). For 8% it is dangerously tasty and drinkable.....I won't spoil more but trust me, DC is a brewery to watch for. What else can I say...Not much really. If you are looking for something new in the world of beer this is definitely a can't-miss. One minor downside is that for credit card, it's a minimum of $10 but at $6 for a pour ($5 @ happy hour), I look at it more as an incentive to get 2 beers. read more

I like the location. I like the space (even some parking in back!). I didn't love the stools - uncomfortable! I had a couple beers - The Ayd Mill which was an easy to drink beer. Enjoyed it quite a lot as I'm feeling VERY beer-ed out lately. Also a small sample of the cold press something or other (I don't think it was the Franklin Brown though.). Also a taste of the Peated stout (eww, no). This place is next to the Naughty Greek so pick up some food on your way in! read more

I enjoyed this brewery and like that it is local to naughty greek and aragata records so you can drink, shop, and chow down all in a few steps around the block. This is a big open area but was not too busy. Great place to gather and sip and play board games and chat. read more

Great brewery located right by the Raymond Ave lite rail station. Plenty of standing room and table space, so it doesn't feel too crowded. There are also plenty of playing cards and board games to enjoy with friends. And their beers...man are they good. When I went there, they had a watermelon sour that is phenomenal, and the wet hop pale ale was also very refreshing. Seems like the taps change often, but I highly doubt you can go wrong with any beer you go with here. Also, if you come here prior to a Minnesota United game, and if you're wearing an MNUFC jersey, you get a dollar off your beer! read more

I cannot rate them zero or I would. Place is empty and service is the worst. Minnesota craft brewing can do better than this.

A pretty cool spot to have a beer. Their cross saison was very good and so was their imperial red. It has a chill atmosphere and is a good place to have a beer and hangout. They have cards and games. We played candyland while we drank because we're adults. I'd go back for sure. read more

Dual Citizen Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

First time here, and it was okay! The space is great, really nicely done. The beers are okay - there was one IPA I really enjoyed, and another that was too peppery for me, but all of the beers were fine. I'll definitely be back to give this place another try, it was fun! read more

I loved this new brewery, the beer is delicious, the branding is great and the space is gorgeous. I came here with some co-workers to check out the new brewery a few weeks ago and I was really excited to try their new beers. I love that the names play off of streets in MPLS and St. Paul. So clever! My favorite beer was the Grand Imperial Stout - it has a great flavor and is really rich. I tried a flight and really enjoyed the Kellogg Cream Ale and Ayd Mill Smsh as well. The night I was there the Gastrotruck was there serving up delicious bites. The space itself is gorgeous - make sure to check out the wood work underneath the bar...it's awesome. I also love the big windows at night - perfect to see the sunset after work. read more

I will always love a good beer, and Dual Citizen has been brewing plenty of them in the year-plus they've been open. I am a frequent patron thanks to its superb location just off the Raymond Ave Green Line stop. The inside of the taproom is amazing, with big wooden beams and a peek into the operation with their tanks exposed. I love the bar and seating arrangements, and the staff is always super friendly. Another plus is that you can order Naughty Greek and they'll deliver it straight to you! Can't wait to see what's in store for this awesome spot once the soccer stadium opens, but so far, I am a huge fan of DC! read more

Dual Citizen is an awesome brewery located a short walk from the Raymond Avenue light rail station. Plenty of standing room and ample table space are available, so it doesn't feel crowded. Cards and board games are available as well as a dart board in the back. I did not see any outdoor space, but I also came in November/December, so it wouldn't have been much use anyway! There are lots of different beers on tap! All I've tried to this point were excellent! The Osceola and Kick In the Red were my favorites! Heads up: the Market is VERY smokey. The taps may change seasonally, but I doubt you can go wrong with any of the options available! In addition to a hip taproom and great beer, they have some pretty cool merch and activities going! For instance, DCBC will be a stop or two away from the new MN United stadium. Per the bartender, if you come prior to a MNUFC game and you're wearing a MNUFC jersey you get a dollar off your beer, which is a fun promotion! Will definitely go back! read more

Nice, large space with windows and custom branded tables and chairs. The stone/metal/window combination is a common one in breweries now, but Dual Citizen pulls it off well. Convenient to have a variety of games available for customers. The coffee brown ale and Iglehart IPA offered the most interesting options, but overall the beers weren't for me; styles stayed in their lanes but included a thin sharpness that made me hope for more body and complexity. On the first visit, it was a quiet afternoon with nobody else in the taproom, but the bartender seemed like she wasn't thrilled to have customers yet. Not a good first impression, but maybe she was just having an off day. At a later date, I tried one of the IPAs again. It paired OK with Greek food, but still wasn't my favorite. Maybe I'll try some of their brews in a while to see if it was just a matter of dialing some things in. read more

Tasty beer in a beautiful tasting room! This place is pretty new but it shines. They have a bunch of delicious-sounding beers on tap, plenty of bar and table seating, lots of huge windows, and many convenient electrical outlets for tourists like us that ran out our phones while exploring all day! First, let's talk about atmosphere, because that's where DC really comes through. Lots of metal and wood, concrete floors, and a really beautiful under-bar decoration.They also have a nice, smallish patio, and seem to have a rotation of food trucks. If the food truck isn't looking like your kind of thing, they're conveniently next to the Naughty Greek, which we didn't eat at but heard very good things about! Also, the brewery is really close to the light rail - it's a pretty short walk from the Raymond Ave station and in what seems to be a revitalizing neighborhood. E went for the Kellogg Cream Ale and I picked the Osceola Amber. All their beers seem to be named after streets in St Paul, which I love. The name itself, and the logo, are a nod to the Twin Cities as well. The Kellogg cream was absolutely delicious, and so refreshing on a warm day. My amber was a bit harder to drink, because while amber ales in Colorado tend to be malty and lighter, this one was a bit of a punch at 7% and 60 IBUs (their IPA is 75 IBU and 5.5% for reference!). My bad for not paying attention to the numbers, and the beer was still good - just something I would have preferred on a crisp fall day instead of a hot summer one! DC also seems to really be a proponent of cultivating a community in this area, which is awesome. We would definitely be regular patrons if we lived in the area, and will definitely come back on another Twin Cities visit! read more

Epic. Nuff said. Fantastic space, good crowd, the list goes on. Friendly staff and a short walk from the light rail. Not a single complaint.
