Oldenburg Brewing Company

While visiting New Prague, we had to stop by the brewery…read more They don't offer flights, but they do have 6oz pours. I would have preferred 4oz options for sampling, but it still worked out. I tried the Space Balls (Milk Stout), Bowcaster (Smoked Märzen), and Lemmiwinks (Berliner Weisse with Black Raspberry - Sour Ale). I also sampled my brother's Giesen Weisse (Hefeweizen). I'm not a big fan of sour ales and didn't realize a Berliner Weisse was a sour until after ordering. That said, it was milder than most sours I've had, and I managed to finish the full pour. Space Balls - Fantastic milk stout. Strong coffee notes up front, followed by chocolate on the finish. Smooth and rich mouthfeel. A+ Bowcaster - Smoked beers can easily go overboard and end up tasting like a campfire, but this one was well balanced. The smokiness enhanced the flavor rather than overwhelming it. Would pair perfectly with a burger or steak. A+ Giesen Weisse - Excellent Hefeweizen with classic banana notes. Super refreshing. I often recommend Hefeweizens to friends who think they don't like beer--this one would definitely win them over. Great brewery overall. I'd recommend it and would definitely return.

A couple of friends and I swung in to here while stopping through New Prague. It seemed to be a…read moregood place for a beer. It was a Saturday night, so the place was a little packed, but plenty of room for everyone to move around. From the outside (in the photos), the decor and signage was pretty cool! Their outdoor patio looked like it would be a fun place to enjoy a beer on in the summer (not so much in this cold winter night). Once inside, the atmosphere was fun. People were enjoying their company and the beer, and there was a small food stand inside with a few options for Mexican food this night. We all grabbed a beer and I tried some Mexican street corn. It definitely complemented the dark Czech lager I drank! My friends had a hazy IPA they ordered twice, it was tasty! An all-around pleasant experience and good beer. I'd go back, but probably make it a warm weather stop next time to enjoy all of it fully, including having the garage doors open for that "ope -air" feel when it's nice.

I had their Lemon Shandy, which was absolutely wonderful and perfect for a warm day. For food, I tried the Feisty Goat pizza (goat cheese cream sauce, pepperoni, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a hot honey drizzle) and it was amazing. The sweet heat from the hot honey mixed with the creamy goat cheese is a killer combo. Inside has a great neighborhood garage/hangout vibe with plenty to do--dart boards, pull tabs, and games to play. Definitely a stellar addition to the local taproom scene, and I'll absolutely be back.

We came in on a Saturday early afternoon after running some errands. We found parking to be easy and it was a pretty large space! Though by the time we left around 1:00 it was filling up in terms of tables. I saw multiple people working on laptops at the bar. We had the pizza which was quite good - although messy because of the way they do their crust. We also enjoyed the pretzel bites with a split table on mustard vs beer cheese but for $0.75 you can have both.

The vibe is extremely "yacht rock" as you would expect from Minnetonka and the clientele tend to match. That's not good or bad, really, just how something to be aware of. Dog friendly inside and out but the taproom proper is pretty tight. Luckily they've got an enormous patio when the weather is nice. They're known for their IPAs and lagers but everything they put out is top notch. "District 5" is a fantastic lighter option but if you see a barleywine on tap you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping at least a taster. The only thing is I wish there were more restaurants around because food truck prices are getting pretty out of control.

She apologized profusely and grabbed us some towels but the ranch shower was still an unexpected disappointment. The burgers saved the meal. I tried the smashley ashley burger and really liked it. I'm glad they offer smashed burgers for any of their burger options. The waffle fries on the side were also delicious. I'd go back just for this burger combo. Im sure a future visit will deserve a higher rating but after a bland appetizer and a ranch shower I couldn't rate higher today.

That once inside and browsing around caused me to ask the beertender "what's w the fire helmets and boots in the corner there?" She replied "some things left behind, this was the old fire hall." I thought that was a great idea and nod to the past state/use of the building! Ellie was my beertenders.... she wasn't good...she was absolutely delightful! Offering me a couple of samples right out the gates. After we discussed the beers at length I opted for a flight. After I finished that flight, I decided to build another one; with my two samples prior to the flight that would complete the 20 options tap list. I don't think I've ever heard of brewer Kurt in the craft beer community but after tasting his beers... he has my respect and appreciation! Ellie had pointed him out at the end of the bar but I could only see his flannel covered arm. She also noted that the other fellas slanging behind the bar was Tap Room Manager Alex; so I briefly chatted him up about his current go-to tap beers, thus partially why I built the second flight; to give them a taste. Of the beers I tried I would likely order most of them again, none struck me as not my jam and I would most certainly skip, a good marker in my eyes. The victors were the Smash #2 with Krush hops, with some poking around is a rename of former hop HBC 586 and it was a tied favorite on the second flight w Little Bit Da Dat. The first flight the Maifest came out on top. I very much appreciated that the four pour 4oz flights are offered at a reasonable $9! I like the spacious tap room and there is a plethora of regular height tables and even a couple of couches, lounge type area near the nearly floor to ceiling windows on the west wall. Tremendous doesn't only offer craft beer; they also have a variety of seltzers and mocktails!
