I entered to a spacious tap room! Shortly after two people appeared; i assumed one was my beertender, the other, possibly a patron...maybe a regular? As we all started chatting....oh no, not just a patron, or regular. Owner! Co-owner/brewer Brett! Aces! My luck put me right in my wheelhouse, i enjoy chatting up owners and brewers! As we began chatting he asked if I'd been to Garphish? Uncommon Loon? I very much appreciated him sharing the craft beer community love, we all want everyone to succeed! We spent a lot of time talking beers styles and just brewing in general....a wealth of knowledge shared and discussed. I opted for a flight w the intent to drink through the tap list then.... decided this would have to be a two or three trip adventure. I was grateful that most the beers were lower ABV. The beer was as delicious as the conversation was enjoyable. I liked how spacious the tap room was, the large windows for natural light, the big parking lot and that you could see the brew house. Beertender Diane was lovely and too kind. She kept apologizing for it not being busier, to which I would say: no, this is exactly how I like it. She'd also apologize when she was working...ohh...stop. ha. I love the table tops!! Don't let the Isanti address scare you, it's really not that far of a drive from the burbs and even if it is... I assure you Thunder Brothers is worth the drive!! Delicious beer, just a delightful brewer and a the loveliest beertender. Don't skip Thunder Brothers, in fact, make sure you put it on your list to get out to. Cheers and thanks Thunder Brothers for such an enjoyable and memorable inaugural visit, cheers!

This brewery never fails to be spectacularly fabulous!! Who I consider one of the Top Brewers in…read morethe state brews here. Sunken Ship is family owned and what a fantastically fun and kind family it is! Sunken Ship is a bit of a jaunt from the cities, but I assure you it is worth the drive and will not disappoint! I say "I love when a brewery has a Theme & run's w it." Sunken Ship was a former boat repair business so I assume that's how they gathered some of the decor: nets, boat lights, etc and the beer names are mostly nautical. It's a big, spacious tap room w a mix of standard & pub height tables. Fun selection of merch. They welcome your pooches and have plenty of space for them. Sunken Ship is a top notch destination brewery. They've had numerous medal winning beers since they opened a few years ago...go on.... stop In for a couple and chat up the friendly beertender/likely an owner. Thanks Sunken Ship for the always delicious beers and seltzers in a comfortably inviting space while I have a delightful conversation w a family member or two, cheers!

We had the blood orange seasonal and an IPA. The blood orange was sooooo good and refreshing and the IPA was good, not too tart like they can be! They had a lot of others and we took some home to try. Look forward to the Cerveza! The outdoor area looks so cute for bands and events! The space was huge!!! Owner and worker were so nice and accommodating! Definitely recommend this brewery if you are in or near the Elk River area

Visited on a Friday after work. I've been to this spot before and kept meaning to return…read more They had outdoor seating as well as a plethora of indoor seating. A food truck was stationed outside and, not that it really matters, but the playlist over the speakers was solid. Not too loud, and full of early 2000's alternative rock. We really enjoyed our time and were able to have full conversations across the table without raising our voices. I opted for a seltzer which was crisp and refreshing. My original choice was not available, but what I ended up with was perfectly fine. I appreciate that they have a large rotating menu, so there's always an opportunity to try something new/different. I didn't realize that they also have a back room. I walked by and noticed people playing bags. I'm not sure if it's a league or open for all, but it looked like a good time.

Oliphant Honees Honees: Oliphant Brewing was founded just over a decade ago in Somerset, WI (which…read moreis practically MN near the Twin Cities). Being an avid reader, I know never to judge a book by its cover, but the artwork on the can is honestly what got me to check out Honees Honees. It's dubbed a peanut butter & honey golden ale, which is an ale brewed with honey and lactose, with peanut butter flavor and caramel color. The artwork that so powerfully snatched my attention sort of conveys that in its own unique and trippy way. Pouring the ale reveals a clear dark gold/amber color. I found the peanut butter to be stronger on the nose than the palate. Taste favored honey, with hints of peanuts, caramel malts, and a sweet (for a beer) finish. It weighs in at 5.6% ABV. Both the artwork and beer itself are Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

We Finally made the trip and I loved everything I tried from this under the radar, outer ring brewery. Cool, relaxed atmosphere in an old auto shop with plenty of seating and a couple TV's. They've got some pinball machines if you're into that and a parking lot patio around back that's dog friendly. The bartenders that I talked to we're super friendly and helpful. They've got some local beer-centric jewelery and coupons for a local game shop. No food but frequent trucks and a few binders of local delivery options. Their nitro tan porter was one of the better beers I've had in a while. Super smooth and full bodied but not too sweet. Can't wait till they put it on CO2 so I can get a crowler/growler. Their apple pie get was also excellent, but a lot. 5-10oz is perfect but you definitely want to try it. Their märzen and festbier were nice and crisp without being too malty. Huge fan overall and will definitely be back to try anything new they put out.
