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.

Nine Mile Brewing is a fantastic spot to hang out in Bloomington. I spent some time out on their…read morepatio--it's on the smaller side, but super nice and a great place to sit back. 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.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the variety of options. I loved the strawberry banana sour and one of their fruited beers as well. My husband really loved the lager options. Can't wait to stop back in again and catch a game on the TV outside!

We got cheese curds, boneless wings and some beers. I would not come here and order food again…read moreunless maybe it was a burger. The cheese curds were not what you would expect of Minnesota cheese curds at the state fair. They were very strange, squared, and weird batter. The wings also had a weird batter that was super thick and felt like I was going to break my teeth. The beer I had was pretty good and refreshing. I think it was one of their ciders. I would go back for the beer but not the food. It was also oddly packed with kids. Like literal kids, toddlers. I don't mean like 20 year olds as "kids." This made it highly loud and annoying.

Ive been here several times and im unsure if ive had that before - it was a mix of what I can assume is the hops of the beer and asparagus. It really put a damper on our enjoyment.

We also got a pretzel with cheese; it was decent, but the drinks were definitely the stronger part of the visit. The vibes were great, especially because the weather was nice. We sat out on the patio, which was super cute and made the experience even better. Lots of people had their dogs, and we just sat there and played cards. Overall, a really good spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks!

I opted for the standard buffalo toss and did not regret it. It's not cheap, but for the quality and quantity I think it's worth it. For me it was plenty for a lunch without any sort of side.

We decided to eat at Northbound for dinner on a bustling Independence Day Eve at 7PM. Walking up to…read morethe restaurant, it seemed like there would be a small wait, but luckily for us, a table just opened up as we walked through the doors. Even with how busy the place was, I didn't find the service to be too slow. The food took about 10 minutes to come out. Cheese Curds ($12.50) - Interesting curds. They're covered and fried in a leavened waffle batter, which gives a more airy type of crisp on the outside. It's more robust than normal cheese curd batter, but has that lighter and softer waffle crunch. The texture inside is right in between being soft and gooey but has enough firmness for a slight squeaky behavior. I actually don't prefer this texture - I massively prefer one extreme or the other, either completely squeaky, or completely softened and melted. The curds are all separated with some mini batter nubs spread around for extra crunch. The curds comes with a ranch dip that has fresh herbs in buttermilk and for some reason reminds me of thousand island in taste. (4/5) 18-hr Porketta ($17.50) + Fries Upgrade (+$2.50) - This is a very simple sandwich with Northbound's famous 18 hour porketta, some Swiss cheese melted on top, and finally some softened sliced onion in a brioche bun. The porketta is essentially pulled pork and is lean with basically no fat. It's seasoned well with a good fennel and spiced aroma The flavors are quite pronounced and while the pork is relatively tender for the cut, some fat would do some major justice. The fries are mediocre. They are clearly hand cut and fried in house, but they are a little underfried since the interiors are firm rather than fluffy and they are floppy in texture. Meh. The porketta comes with a sauce that's fruity, tangy, and acidic. It's surprisingly great for the cheese curds since the curds are so heavy and fatty. (4/5) Overall I found the food at Northbound to be good enough but nothing particularly outstanding. I certainly don't think it was worth the 45 minute round trip drive. but I wouldn't mind eating there again if I happened to be in the area in the future.
