We stopped in on a road trip for a quick bite & a couple of brews. There is ample parking, which is fantastic & they also have Harvest Host spots available. We ordered a pizza, which was tasty with smoking hot pickles & 2 versions of orange beer - which were good, tho not their best offerings. They offer samples before ordering, so you can be sure what you buy is your best fit. Good service & decent pricing. You can pizza at the brewery or order from the place attached, which we haven't tried yet. read more

So much fun for Oktoberfest! (I'm quite late to this review) Drinking out of boots and steins, wheel barrel racing, arm wrestling, pizza with sauerkraut - what more could you ask for? Plus, great Oktoberfest beer and the best sours around. Service was quick and staff were so friendly. Don't forget to grab a free sticker at the register! read more

This brewery has decent parking, which I always appreciate. I was able to find space to sit even during a busy part of a Saturday. Staff was attentive and helpful. Beer selection is good and covers a wide variety of options. I liked every beer I had there. I left my tab open when I got up to pee, so they double-charged me for my first round. I didn't notice until a few days later when I was at home and looking at my accounts. I get why they did this, but it was disappointing. read more

I e had beer from these guys plenty of times at bottle shares and beer festivals.. but today was the first time visiting the brewery. Cool little spot in a small town on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. Cool artwork inside and outside. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside and two bars.. one on either side. Lots of choices on tap and in cans and bottles. They also make and sell CBD products (not for onsite consumption). The guys and gals working the bar were great! Fast and efficient, friendly and helpful... and there's free popcorn! read more

First off service was so good. We brought our dogs in and sat down in the corner. One of the staff checked on us frequently and helped with a few things I was looking for. The beer was very good. They have a really cool area you can take old sticker beer labels and make postcards they will send out for you. That is one of the most unique things I have seen at a brewery. We went on the Fourth of July and the restaurant next door unfortunately wasn't open. We loved our experience and will go again if we are in the area. read more

One of the best breweries in Minnesota, if not the best! There isn't much that they don't absolutely crush! They have their flagship brews, but their rotation of beers and frequency is unmatched. There is a board that shows you what is coming out next. I'm in this area every 2 weeks from the Twin Cities for business and they always have new beers, amazing! They just don't brew anything that blows. I'm not sure who their Brewmaster is, but he or she should be cloned. read more

My inaugural Junkyard visit was my last stop of my Thursday brewery tour so I was quite chatty and beertender Tyler was more than patient and accommodating with me. I was asked several people what they were drinking to which Tyler would say "I told you, you can sample anything!". As a fan of sours I opted for the Melting Skulls. I had three more beers that were all just as delicious! The very well balanced Basket Weaver IPA, Nutty Little Fella and Lou Dogg Hefe. I really liked the tap room, so spacious w garage doors open and the fun murals!! Parking was a breeze at the large lot across the street. They have a nice big patio out front. Tyler was friendly and took great care of me, a few other staff I talked to were also kind and helpful. Thanks Junkyard for the delicious and fun first visit. Cheers! read more

While in Fargo-Moorhead for Rare Beer Picnic, I made sure to get out of bed to join other craft beer nerds for the release of Double Barrel Aged King Size and Double Barrel Aged Midnight Spider at Junkyard Brewing. Rather than getting the bottles and running back to the hotel, I chose to sit and enjoy myself with a few half pours of their amazing beers in addition to chomping down a bigger plate of popcorn that I probably needed. Double Barrel Aged King Size: A Peanut Stout aged in two consecutive sets of freshly dumped Willet bourbon barrels, and then transferred to a new set of freshly dumped Willet bourbon barrels. Through the double barrel aging I get a lot of barrel character including licorice, oak, and bitter chocolate that plays well with the roasted nut flavors that are strong in the non-barrel aged version. King Size is my favorite PB Stout, and this brought out a TON of complex flavors not in the OG. Double Barrel Aged Midnight Spider: An Imperial Stout double barrel aged in the same manner as DBA King Size. The base stout was brewed with roasted barley and conditioned on cocoa nibs, black walnuts, and marshmallow. The base beer is tasty in its own right, but the aging brings out the Rocky Road Ice Cream feel even more with some maple, oak, and vanilla flavors accentuated. Mild bitterness shown more - think dark bakers chocolate and roasted nut.  Wicked Awesome Slurry: An Imperial Double IPA hopped with Eureka and El Dorado. High haze, fluffy body / mouthfeel from Wheat additions, and high tropical juice and bitterness. The name doesn't lie - this is some wicked awesome slurry of dankness and citrus. _____________________ read more

Great atmosphere and beverages! We try to meet up there frequently. I like the variety.

Beer is great, spot is super cool and food next door is delicious. Pets welcome on patio.

Junkyard is an excellent brewery in which I tried several of their beers and found so much satisfaction from them. Their fruited sours are very good. I had a blueberry fruited sour which was very good and the Slurpee/Icee version of beer was also a lot of fun to drink. I've also had an IPA. A New England one, one involving game codes in the title which was very tasty and a very enjoyable beer to drink. Junkyard is a solid brewery providing beer that helps you kick back and relax! read more

We decided to stop here because I was intrigued by a beer that Junkyard had just released called "Gooey Lewis and The Brews", which was some sort of jelly and granola-inspired sour. We packed up the pups and headed to an outside table. The brewery itself is very small and off a major road, but the total ambiance was very cool and I loved the artwork on the walls. They don't do flight pairings but they do offer half pours, so I got a bunch of sours for me and a few "regular beers" for hubby. The beers were delicious! I really loved their Icee-inspired sours. I bought a few crowlers to go and they were very decently priced. I think they were about $7 or $8 each. The staff were also very friendly and the bathrooms were clean. read more

Love this place...if I lived in Fargo/Moorhead, you would find me there every weekend! Ambiance is awesome...can sit indoor or out on the patio. Beer selections were plentiful, but was a little disappointed that there weren't a few more for a place built around beer tasting. Lines for beer weren't too long, but wait staff wasn't there quickest (but no complaints). read more

We are excited to step foot into Junkyard! We really like what they brew up. We get select beers when they deliver to the cities from Moorhead. Today we got one we have had our eye on, the Queens of the Potluck, an ambrosia flavor beer. We stopped in today and they had it, but they were running low. So SCORE for us! read more

Their Dive Bar NE IPA is amazing. Reminding me of Tree House's Haze in MA. Staff was super helpful too.

We stopped in for late lunch. Nice ambience. Nice t-shirts for souvenirs. Great service. Can order food from next door restaurant.

The beer was excellent. We had the Lou Dogg which is a Hefeweizen & a Green Fluff. The Green Fluff was sweet & fruity! They had popcorn, board games & a good vibe! The bar tender was super friendly and helpful in selecting the perfect brew! Their merch is top notch. A great place to gather or just drop in for a beer. This is one harvest host stop we will make again! read more

Great vibe. Loved the beer, their Czech Pilsner is outstanding!

Junkyard brewery is not selling growlers as of December 30th so my husband decided we needed a short road trip to Moorehead from St. Paul. After getting off work grabbing a change of clothes and hitting the road, we arrived 3.5 hours later. I would definitely do it again! So far we've had Guava Passionfruit Super Slup, Galactic Peach and Technicolor Dream Wolf. They are all great! We got an empty growler (only fill on Sundays) and 4 crowlers, to enjoy at home. The staff is friendly, helpful and enjoyable to chat with. They had live music at a perfect level, where you could actually still hear the people talking. Shirts are not overpriced, for once at a brewery; and the atmosphere is very comfortable, like being in your favorite bar, not a cold steel building. We will definitely be coming back! Just not as often as we'd like, cuz the drive :-( read more

Fargo embargo On sales with Johnny O I like their beers, though This place seems to get the most Yelp love of any of the four breweries in the Fargo-Moorhead area. I can see why. Only had two beers, one on premises and one off. Consumed the double IPA Rakau on premises. High ABV, high IBU. First sip was good, but wasn't really overwhelmed by the hoppiness. It is a beer that kind of grows on you the more you drink it until you are punch drunk in love. It sneakily packs a punch. Saw that they had crowlers for sale, but only three varieties and no Rakau. Got the single IPA for take out. By the time I was done with the Rakau, I decided I needed more of this beer in my life but had other items on my agenda. Checked the website after leaving and saw that they do not open until 4 on Sundays. Not planning on being in the area at that time, decided to go back and get a Growler of it. They were pretty packed around 7 with a live band in full swing, but unfortunately no growler sales on any day other than Sunday. Major bummer. Seems odd that Sunday is the only day you can get a growler. I will have to send an emissary to Fargo to go on a Sunday for me to obtain the forbidden fruit. Junkyard is actually on the MN side of the river, but it has some seriously archaic trade restrictions. read more

Junkyard is an amazing brewery! I first was introduced to Junkyard at a beer festival in Minneapolis. They distribute their beers to multiple locations in the twin cities. Saturday Things is my personal favorite, but you really can't go wrong with anything! Happy drinking! read more

Absolutely favorite brewery in the FM area. We love the funky stuff they brew and it tends to be some of our favorites. Huge fan of the super slurp and almost all of their sours. They recently got rid of growlers and started canning beer instead. They keep up to date with their canning to what they have on tap really well. It does get a little packed on Friday and Saturday nights, but the bartenders handle crowds well. The summer months are my favorite at junkyard when they open up the large garage doors and have live music, a food truck, and lets not forget, the best beer in town. They are kid friendly and have a ton of games to play as well. I am almost positive they have live music every single night as well. read more

Junkyard has done a great job both in setting up their taproom but also all of the beer varieties they've developed. There was just something very comfortable about hanging out at Junkyard and having a beer. They have the bar that sets about 8 or so people, a few high top cocktail tables, a big booth and then several long tables with 6-8 chairs. I look forward to stopping by when the temperature warms up and they can roll up those garage doors. And by the way, the beer tastes excellent as well. read more

We visited Junkyard during an epic road trip and wanted to taste a few different beers. Because of Covid, they were only selling crowlers to go (which was fine by us!) We left with 8 different beers, many with a Pulp Fiction theme. The selection varied from sours to fruit punches to IPAs to ambers to pilsners. We really enjoyed their hazy IPA and even got a souvenir glass to remember them by! Looks like a great spot to hangout, watch some sports, drink some great beers, and have fun. Hope they get opened for seating soon! read more

Great startup brewery in a terrible location. I had the experimental (raspberry) sour, which I loved. Then the pbj stout, which was tasty, but a terrible idea on a 90° day. Ended with an amber wheat ale which is a great lighter beer with a nice malty flav. Great spot to visit every week or two to try what's new. They keep a good rotation going. They serve beer in half pints, which I think should be common sense - but it's rare. Great way to run the gamut of options. No food served but, oh look at taco truck! Only downside is the patio location. The general location itself is fine. But putting the patio on the driveway facing the concrete streets and shitty apartments/boat sales is a buzzkill. Ideally this would be a fenced in backyard vibe. read more

A great place for a pint of beer! Very cool vibe when you walk in the door. Big glass garage doors in the front of the place give a bright and open feel. A mix of chairs adds to the feel of a friendly and laid-back atmosphere. Now, to the ale! Great beers all around. They have a beautiful mix of beers to chose from...stouts and porters, ales and hoppy beers, and even fruity ones to pick! I had the Old Red Lion (English Pale Ale) and the Coal Miner's Daughter (Imperial Stout). Two thumbs up to both...but an extra thumb to the stout. Incredibly smooth and drinkable -- with an 8% alcohol content it's a kicker too! Definitely will be back for more! read more

Came here for their tapping of the Peanut Butter Bandit, which was paired with a Reese's peanut butter cup, and it was absolutely delicious! The weather was sunny and warm, which made it perfect for sitting outside. Junkyard has a chalk board set up that has a list of their available brews, which are color coded on the type of beer (hoppy/IPA, dark, etc.), cost per size, and alcohol %. They also had a local acoustic singer performing and La Unica, a Mexican grocery/market, set up in there that was selling authentic tacos, tamales, and chips & salsa, which was a great touch. Free popcorn as well, and they encourage you to bring in food from other restaurants to eat and drink. Love this place! read more

I'm a big fan of all the locals breweries but secretly, Junkyard is my favorite. It also doesn't hurt that it's in Moorhead and within easy walking distance from my house. Basically, I don't have a bad thing to say about this place. The staff here are super friendly, the beers are delicious and the ambiance is super chill. They don't have food on a regular basis, but you can order or bring in whatever you wish. Also, the popcorn here is RIDICULOUSLY good. The rotating selection of beers changes weekly and is conveniently available in full and half pints. My personal favorites are the Simcoe and Coachgun IPA. They feature a wide variety of live music (almost every night) which creates a fun environment for a happy hour, date night or just to grab a drink and relax. Junkyard undoubtedly has my stamp of approval. Cheers! Pro tip: there is a top-notch geocache approximately 64 feet from the front door. (GC5ZQT7, For The Love of Hops) read more

Junkyard's Taproom was surprisingly energetic for a Tuesday night. The band was full of dreadlocked goodness. I believe they are called the Cropdusters. It is quite the intimate setting with cool artwork and humorous doodles all around. These brewers are creating some fantastic craft beers. Coal Miner's Daughter Imperial Stout and Simcoe IPA are exceptional. I'm a Southern California beer snob who drinks Stone, Ballast Point, Green Flash, Modern Times and much more. I didn't expect Junkyard to match such celebrated breweries, but it did. Coal Miner's Daughter needs national distribution. The guys working the taps were knowledgable and cool. My group sampled the entire beer menu at least once. Extremely solid across the board. For all you locals looking to enjoy great beer at a lively, rockin hangout, this is your destination. read more

Ok so I'm not anywhere near an expert when it comes to craft beer, or have the best understanding for the vast flavor varieties one can brew... I admit this. I don't have the palate for it like avid lovers do either but one thing is for sure, I love beer and will give it a go to try them. This place has an awesome set up, free popcorn and cool vibe but damn son.... the beer..what went wrong? The candy van, strangers with candy, idk wtf it was called... holy lord my mouth was destroyed. Idk what kind of ingredients went into this but it was all over the board. My friends and I tried a small flight and there was one we found tolerable. Obviously personal preference plays a huge role here but even between 3 ppl, one of which is a beer connesuier of sorts... Said no bueno. The guys working that night didn't seem very happy either. Like monotone to the point that these three sentances would have been said in the same demeanor-- I just won a million dollars. I ran over my sister with a semi. Help, my pubes are on fire. lets just say this was NOT the place for me and my more simple taste buds. Me no likely. read more
