LTD Brewing is a solid spot to grab a beer and hang out with friends. The space is large with plenty of seating, so finding a place to sit won't be an issue. That said, the taproom felt a little darker than I expected, and most of the seating is wooden with no padding on either the seat or backrest. It fits the brewery aesthetic, but after a while it was not the most comfortable place to linger. The beer selection is impressive with plenty of options to choose from. I tried one of their IPAs and really enjoyed it. It was well-balanced, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for from a local brewery. Service was another highlight. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did a great job checking in without being intrusive. Good service can make a big difference in a brewery setting, and it definitely elevated the experience here. Overall, LTD Brewing offers a great selection of beer, plenty of space, and excellent service. The only thing holding it back from a higher rating for me was the somewhat dark atmosphere and the less-than-comfortable seating. read more

LTD Brewing Co - Beer menu - Breweries Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

LTD has become one of our favorite places to stop for a drink, especially during the summer. One thing I really appreciate is that they have options for everyone, whether you're a beer fan or prefer something like a sour or seltzer. The Patio Crusher was easily my favorite. The service has always been friendly, and we love grabbing a spot on the patio and enjoying the nice Minnesota weather. Between the drink selection, great service, and relaxed atmosphere, it's a place we always enjoy coming back to. read more

I love the brew options, they typically have a seltzer available for people like myself that don't that prefer a sour or a seltzer over a beer. I do have to say their blueberry muffin sour was my favorite! Service is always great, we love to sit on the patio and soak up the Minnesota summer. read more

Such a fun spot, they always have a great lineup of beers on tap, including rotating flavors and specialties on Friday's. A great dog-friendly patio atmosphere in the summer, with a lot of live music, friendly servers, and fun things going on. (Also keep a look out for the annual LTD block party) This brewery is a top tier Hopkins staple! read more

We visited Hopkins a little ahead of a dinner reservation and walked around a bit before we stumbled across LTD brewing. It's just around the corner from the main street and has a nice set up with plenty of space for patrons. We were there on a Saturday evening and there was steady traffic, but it wasn't overly full. There's a few outside spots and plenty of inside seating. The variety of selections was good. There were some normal rotations and a few seasonal as well. I grabbed a beer and partner opted for the grape ape. Both were good and would've definitely led to trying a few more if it wasn't for a dinner reservation. The only thing that was a little odd is that, as we were going in, it appeared that someone had definitely over-enjoyed their time at the brewery as they were carrying a bike and stumbling down the sidewalk, bumping into cars and nearly falling over multiple times. It is a drinking establishment though and I guess that means the other options must be good too! The spot has a fun vibe, lots of options for drinking and free popcorn! This would be a great place to spend an evening with friends and I think we will definitely schedule some extra time to visit when we are in Hopkins. read more

LTD is so fun and perfect for a patio drink. Our server, Anna, was super nice and even took our drinks to the patio to us when they were ready! She was also roaming around taking orders on the patio. We each got a flight with all the fun new summer flavors. They have something for everyone, seriously! My favorite is by far the blueberry muffin. It's just so good! read more

Cute little brewery. I don't get over to Hopkins often but LTD is well worth the stop. The tap room is comfortable and the staff friendly. The beer is good.

The question is: "what went well?", it's , "what didn't go well?" It's a perfect size for friends from the local to the long distance to meet! It's not cavernous like some micro breweries which makes it special, but it can still rock on with their big events! A lot of the same staff too that seem quite cohesive! read more

I was in the Twin Cities area for work recently and we did a team outing at both LTD Brewing and nearby Bear Cave Brewing. LTD immediately had a familiar, chill vibe to it. Unlike the brand-new and pretty fancy Bear Cave, LTD is a more traditional locale to grab a beer. They were playing Bingo at the time, for prizes - something I hadn't really seen at a bar before but people were having a good time with it. Had some good beers and took a few crowlers home to share with my wife. It was a cool place to hang out - if there was a place like this near my house, I'd be a regular! read more

A Hopkins classic! Parking can be hit or miss at LTD, but there is street and lot parking nearby! The space itself isn't anything special but has a homey, local brewery feel! Kudos for the free popcorn available! Service is always friendly and attentive! Beer is great! There's always something new to try! My favorite is their Muffin Top, blueberry muffin beer. It's a summer flavor, so make sure to stop by before it's gone! read more

A great family friendly brewery in the heart of Hopkins. The service is top notch and there are a ton of great spots nearby to get food from. read more

While in Hopkins I made a pit stop at @ltdbrewing for some beer and popcorn. I tried five of their beers that they had on tap. They had a range of beers from the big and malty to the light and refreshing (and the popcorn machine with fresh popcorn was a nice snack). Belgian Tripel Ale: Heavy hitting Belgian Tripel at 9.9%. Medium body with clove aromatics. Toasted bread malt flavor with a spicy clove flavor - ends with a sweet finish with some fruit rising to balance the clove. The Ant-Man Cometh: A New England Hazy IPA with Mosaic, Galaxy, Amarillo Cryo, and Citra hops. Well-balanced bitterness with grapefruit sweetness. Fruity / grapefruit zest aroma with a haze for days. Blueberry Muffin Top Blonde Ale: A liquid blueberry muffin. Smells like a fresh blueberry muffin straight out of the oven on a Sunday morning and tastes like grandma always made it. Refreshing on a warm day with a light body of a blonde ale. The Great Bluedini Imperial Sour: Mild blueberry on the nose with a tart blueberry flavor. A malty sweetness rises to balance the tart blueberry. Very different from Blueberry Muffin Top, but just as enjoyable. Summer Hefe: Hazy as a true Hefeweizen should be. LTD used American white wheat and pilsner malt to create a smooth and drinkable Hefe with banana / clove character that doesn't taste artificial like some Hefeweizens can turn into. read more

LTD Brewing has been on my list for a while after seeing their cute flight paddles on Instagram - and it will continue to be a go-to spot! We walked over to LTD after being at a different spot in Hopkins, and we're happy to see it buzzing on a Friday night! We walked inside to be seated and we're greeted by a host/waitress. They said we could find a seat inside or outside and we would have table service! The inside was warm and woody, yet a little eclectic with their decor and signs - I loved it. The bar is at the center with two sides to order from, while the table service orders are picked up on the corner under the LTD sign - it's also nice and spacious inside! Since it was a nice summer night, we grabbed a space for four outside on their patio - where LTD has taken over the sidewalks near them and put up a white tent with tables and chairs. It's the perfect little quaint Mainstreet vibe. The service was excellent at LTD. After finding our seats, only a minute later a waitress came by with a QR code and said we would be helped in a minute or two. We had just enough time to look at the menu and decide when another waitress came by and took our orders. Throughout the night different servers would check on us, which was great! And it didn't feel like overkill either. The drinks were super timely as well, coming out to us less than 5 minutes after we ordered every time - even though the patio was full of people! When we wanted to go inside and enjoy the live music, we didn't even need to close out - they just made note of it and said that the tips are pooled so we didn't need to worry about tipping each server that helped us. On top of it all, while being busy, every single server we encountered was kind, attentive and helpful. Now for the drinks! I ordered one of the flights I have been ogling over on Instagram, and it did not disappoint. I don't think I've ver had a flight where I liked every. single. one. until now. The OPPC was an orange infused version of their light Patio Crusher beer. It was perfectly citrusy without being like a sour. The Muffin Top was a crowd favorite by my group - it really smelled like a blueberry muffin and you could definitely taste it in the light beer. One of my favorite specialty beers I've had anywhere! The Apricot Hefeweizen was also a deliciously fruited light beer without the sweetness of a sour - similar to the OPPC. Their Raspberry Seltzer was delicious! Nothing unique, but a delicious sweeter seltzer. Finally, my favorite of the rotation was the Mangonator - it seriously tasted like drinking alcoholic mango juice. It was sweet and smooth, and I wasn't even sick of it when I got a pint after my flight. When we went inside, I tried their signature Friday Night Drink - Firken Friday, which rotates every week! This week was a pineapple mango seltzer, and it was delicious, sweet and refreshing. Overall, I absolutely loved my night at LTD and loved every drink I tried! I can't wait to come back and continue to try their beers as they rotate. read more

What a fun little hangout! LTD is in downtown Hopkins, surrounded by several tasty restaurants. There is some street parking and then Hopkins public parking. As opposed to going up to the bar to order, they have servers. They also have free popcorn, a great selection of board games, and several projector screens. When it comes to selection, it is about average or slightly under average. They had one seltzer, some bottles of kombucha, and home brewed root beer as well. The atmosphere was friendly and warm, and it was a bit loud, as it is at most breweries. I had a good time, I'd come back if I was in the area. Thanks! read more

The beer tenders are friendly and there's always something good on tap. I get to pet the best doggos and catch up with some old friends during every visit. They host events like trivia or live music through the week and the free popcorn is pretty good! It's a small town brewery, but it's a vibe. read more

I always love a good local brewery. LTD has an awesome space with plenty of seating. They have large screens for watching sports. I also love that LTD gives back to the community by doing fundraisers on Mondays. We got a flight of beers - you can pick 5 for $12 (though some have an up charge of $1). My favorites from when I went were the Strawberry Mango sour and the Irish Red Ale. I loved the coffee stout too. There's a good variety so I feel like there's something for everyone. They offer popcorn, which was excellent. I was very tempted to eat popcorn for dinner. We ordered takeout instead of popcorn. LTD allows outside food! read more

They have an interesting variety of beers to try! (Plus non-alcoholic drinks). We each got a flight and while we didn't love every brew, there were none we disliked. The inside is neat, has an almost western theme. They also have an outdoor patio under a tent. It was a fun date! read more

We stopped at this brewery for drinks before supper. They had a wide variety of options. My group had Muffin Top blueberry blonde ale, Effin' Limited white stout, and Blood Orange IPA. Everyone liked their choices. The two fruit ones really smelled like the fruit! The servers were attentive and friendly. read more

In a land filled with microbreweries, this one stands out. They have a bit of a gimmick -- everything done is small batch and gone when it's gone, i.e. there aren't flagship standbys like you might see at other breweries. Their beers tend to have character, i.e. the IPA tastes different than every other IPA you've ever had. (In this case, a really interesting watermelon character, rather than the citrus I'm used to.) It is the same drill as everywhere else -- some tables inside, patio outside, stash of board games (currently locked away due to COVID), no food but you can buy some pretzels or hit the food truck. The pretzel selection's better than average -- not just Von Hanson's, but also Firesticks. A solid choice for hanging out and grabbing some brews in the west metro, and I sure hope they survive! read more

Great beer selection and friendly staff. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bar offers free popcorn. There was live music when we came here on a Friday evening. Tried both the orange and blueberry infused beers, both were good although the flavor did taste a bit artificial for some reason. The IPAs are pretty good as well and I would probably try more of those next time. read more

Another brewery review, and my input on if it's good for kids. First off, the beer.....great selection, good IPAs and a good Porter! They have root beer for the kiddos as well as snacks. Nice indoor and outdoor space, nothing kid specific, but overall not too pretentious that you can't bring your kids. read more

LTD Brewing is a hidden gem. They make small batches, and I think that's why every single brew they pour is quality. I am a huge fan of sour beers. LTDs sours are delicious and exceptionally made, and they always have a couple on tap, which can't be said for many breweries. They aren't afraid to experiment with different flavors. There's always something new and exciting to look forward to when coming to LTD. The staff is always nice and knowledgeable. They'll come to You at your table to take orders which is also nice - no having to wait in line and shout your order over the bar. There truly is something for everyone here. I highly recommend coming to LTD, you won't be disappointed. read more

LTD Brewing Co - Use it in good health you sexy brewery people! - Breweries Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

LTD is tucked away in downtown Hopkins, and I have to say I was surprised at how busy it was when we stopped in on Friday night. Great for them! Love to see small local businesses thriving. At any rate, the vibe inside is pretty cool. Be sure to look up when you walk in the door. The ceiling is awesome. Seating is casual and relaxed. I loved that there was a musician playing... definitely added to the cool factor. I will say that I did find the whole thing a bit confusing as a first-time visitor. You walk in and the design of the building basically points you straight to the bar. You aren't sure if you should walk up and order or what. A very nice girl approached us and tried to help but she didn't really offer instructions. She just kind of tried to generally be helpful by asking us how many people we had and making vague suggestions about sitting somewhere. Finally I gathered that I could order a beer from her, which I did after consulting the menu board. She DID have good beer knowledge, which was good. I wound up with the double milk stout, which was really decadently creamy but not as chocolately as I would have liked. And it was 10% ABV. But it sure didn't taste like it. I could get in some real trouble drinking a few of those. A few friends tried the cask sour, which again, I thought was good but not really that sour. I don't know. Maybe I was having a bad palette day. The girl who originally helped us and another guy were floating around with ipads taking people's orders and collecting empties. When we were ready to leave, we cashed out with them. In all, a lovely place to visit with decent beer. Parking is ample. Glassware is cool. read more

The staff were helpful and knowledgable, they let me sample the different beers to make sure I was happy with my choice. They had a big screen playing the Vikings game, so you can't get much better than beer and football. read more

Unassuming brewery in downtown Hopkins. The place was packed when we arrived. No open tables. Finally a group left and I was able to snag the table. This place seems to be very popular with people just looking for a chill time drinking craft beers. The space is small. There are many tables and some couches crammed in to accommodate visitors. It also isn't fancy and new. It reminded me a of a college bar but with a brewery. Just very straightforward and laid back. You can order from the bar but the nice thing is they have people walking around with tablets to take your order. I think due to size they can't have all the Minnesotans do there single queue around the place. Beers were pretty good. I had two, Cherry Limeade Sour and Brown Ale. Both beers were flavored as labeled. The sour wasn't overly sweet as I feared and definitely had that tart sour flavor. The brown was standard but good. My drinking companions ordered a variety ranging from an American Blonde Ale, Triple IPA and a Strong Irish Dry Stout. Everyone seemed to enjoy their choices. It's worth mentioning that they offer different sizing for beers, in case you wanted that 2nd beer but not in a 16oz. They offer root beer but no other spirits or NA options. They have a popcorn machine, which we loved. As well as many many board games. Highlight of the night, a couple sat next to us with Ticket to Ride (if you don't know, look it up) and I got so excited, I was mad we weren't playing it. Turns out the couple got it as a wedding present! Minnesota, never change. read more

LTD Brewing Co - Cherry Limeade Sour - Breweries Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

So many taprooms, amirite? After a while they all seem to blend together and there isn't a ton that sets one apart from the other, so here's a few quick notes. - Waiters. I'm not sure if this is normal, but on the Saturday night they had people wait on us. This is both nice (no lines, etc.) but you also feel bad asking for a sample of something because they have to run around more. No biggie if you know what you like to drink. - Popcorn. Always love free popcorn! - I liked this space. Its small and intimate without being cramped. Something about it was just a bit different. They have projectors on the walls and were projecting the Final Four - nice touch, I don't think you usually see tvs in taprooms. - (root) beer floats, ice cream sandwiches, sodas. Nice to have something for non-beer drinkers. And another shout out for free popcorn. :) - They had quite a few beers available, but nothing really struck my fancy that night. Gotta deduct a star for that. Sorry. read more

How have I lived so close to this place for 2 years and never checked it out?! I'm so happy I finally ventured here this weekend. For being a small brewery I was surprised at how many options they had on tap. I tried the patio crusher and Belgian blonde and loved both! Full of flavor and thirst quenching. You know it's a decent brewery when there's free popcorn and they make sure the machine is always full. You can also order food from any nearby restaurant and they have a handful of menus on hand to reference. The only downfall was the seating arrangement. It was pretty crowded when we walked in with nowhere to sit. There's not a ton of standing room space either so we were in an awkward spot until someone left. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

I really like this place (this was my first time). We sat outside on the patio on a beautiful May night. I love sour beers and they had a couple of great ones that I ordered in our flight. I hope they keep making the watermelon sour beer because it is AH-mazing. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us navigate the menu and take us through what we should include in our flight. We will definitely be back this summer! Especially to try their new sours! read more

Not going back. We sat outside next to a table that was talking very loudly about masturbating and having sex with someone's dad. Two of the people were working employees. Stephanie was one and the other guy I am not sure of but he had on pink shorts. I know way to much information about Stephanie's preferred "techniques". The inside was nice and the beer was ok. read more

Excellent variety of beers on tap. Warm, intimate environment that's usually quite lively. Depending on the time of day, you can find young families to social drinkers.
