By the sound of his review, he has not experienced many Canadian craft beers. The beers here at Barn Hammer have been great. I regularly enjoy their standards both at the brewery and from the liquor store. I have had quite a few of their test batches as well and enjoyed them. I have not experienced any 'poor' beers as he describes. I think his review is subjective and a result of a poor beer education despite his claim to the contrary. You can't slag a brewery if you have a piss poor palette.

They offered no suggestions or advice, and answered questions as tersely as possible. The beers were also just... decent. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. I agree with other reviewers who said that there isn't much complexity in any beer in my flight. The decor is very cookie-cutter for a craft brewery. The only soul would be the two seats that look into the brewery area, which are a nice touch. Stop by if you're in the area, or don't.

In retrospect, they were very busy & most of the customers were locals. Once we were seated, staff warmed up & things calmed down.

It is very close to being the most northwestern spot in the State. You are super close to the border with Manitoba, Canada in some seriously flat land. The building was a gas station back in the day, and it shows. Have had a chance to try a couple of their beers in the Twin Cities. You know they must be good if they get distribution to a city over six hours away. Was impressed with the couple I had here at home and also impressed with what I had up there. Sours and IPA's seem to be their specialties. My two favorite styles. They are the Barrel Theory of Northern MN. Would be there constantly if it didn't require so much gas money and a hotel stay.

However, our table didn't work so we were directed to go to other tables and the bar itself to use their to make our order. The drinks took forever to come, and the food didn't come at all for about 45 minutes. Our final boarding call came before the food arrived and we had to chase down the server and get our food put in containers to go. The was less than half full. No excuse for this, especially at an airport. Further, when the food and drink finally did start arriving after our third boarding call, it started arriving at the wrong tables because we had been forced to use the QR codes at other tables. By this time, other people were sitting there and it created mass confusion. Overall, an absolutely terrible experience that could've been resolved instantly had the simply taken our order in person.

The first time I visited here I really liked the vibe. It had a nice warm, reddish glow about it…read more I didn't drink any alcoholic drinks but the energy and the buzz of the people of all kinds was contagious and I felt happy and relaxed. I love the little markets they have here and the sparkling water drink called "Brite Water." It's not too sparkling or fizzy, and it has a nice flavor. The pretzel meal item was pretty delicious and dipping it in ranch was a good idea. The hummus pretzel dish on the second visit was less delicious and enjoyable. It felt more like a healthy snack. That day I was a bit stressed out and the vibe seemed different. Overall I think this is a nice place.

I went here with a few friends, one who was visiting the city for the first time. The food menu isn't extensive, but multiple reviews have mentioned Le Burger is the only item one should order here, so that's what most of us did. Portion-wise it's not the biggest. Quality though? I'd say it's the best burger in the city in terms of rich flavourness. Sure it's not the biggest, but for this place it's the quality that stands out. In addition to the burger, we also shared a beef tartare. It was good as well, somewhat pricey at $22 given the portion size but it does its job as a shared plate. Service was excellent here. Definitely would return for special occasions whenever I have friends over (a bit bougee for me to consider going multiple times a month).
