We had the blood orange seasonal and an IPA. The blood orange was sooooo good and refreshing and the IPA was good, not too tart like they can be! They had a lot of others and we took some home to try. Look forward to the Cerveza! The outdoor area looks so cute for bands and events! The space was huge!!! Owner and worker were so nice and accommodating! Definitely recommend this brewery if you are in or near the Elk River area

Visited on a Friday after work. I've been to this spot before and kept meaning to return…read more They had outdoor seating as well as a plethora of indoor seating. A food truck was stationed outside and, not that it really matters, but the playlist over the speakers was solid. Not too loud, and full of early 2000's alternative rock. We really enjoyed our time and were able to have full conversations across the table without raising our voices. I opted for a seltzer which was crisp and refreshing. My original choice was not available, but what I ended up with was perfectly fine. I appreciate that they have a large rotating menu, so there's always an opportunity to try something new/different. I didn't realize that they also have a back room. I walked by and noticed people playing bags. I'm not sure if it's a league or open for all, but it looked like a good time.

The venue is huge and is great for events or bigger groups. For sure a stop when in the St. Cloud area!

After a while of brewing beer and then partnering with Chris, they made a 'back shed' dream a reality. They opened up the brewery / taproom where they can chat with customers across a large L-shaped bar featuring two walls of taps, plenty of indoor seating, and a lovely outdoor area. And if you are needing to do some crafts, Crafts Direct is right next door! Snoop Dog P.O.G A Wheat beer kettle soured with additions of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava. A lot of P.O.G. character providing sweetness and citrus to go along with a mild tartness. A fuller body than some kettle sours, but it makes me feel more like I'm drinking a cocktail - which I'm digging. Hay-Z (99 problems - but a beer ain't one) A Hazy IPA with Idaho Gem, Sabro, and Citra hops. Very smooth with mild bitterness. Juicy and citrusy with notes of orange, coconut, and pineapple. Maybe it was the sour, but between these two beers I wanted to grab my Hawaiian shirt and sit on a beach. Ledge 'N' Dairy Coffee A bit different from the theme of the first two beers, but just as enjoyable. A Sweet Stout infused with coffee. The base sweet stout provides good balance to the roasty-bitterness of the coffee addition. Reminiscent of a mocha from a coffee shop! Pull Up Quick I returned to the warmer weather vibes with this Witbier. Hints of orange and coriander with a light straw color. Light bodied and delicious!

It seems everyone else thought the same as the inside of the pub was packed. Outside in the front, there were seats and a fire brewing, and upstairs there was a bathroom and some wind passing by. It was a nice evening. I only wish I had had stomach for beer as they had quite the variety.

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.

They have a few year-round options that you can't go wrong with, but I love trying their rotating and experimental options the most. You can tell the love and care they put into the product. They typically will have some sort of charcuterie option, and those are a must. I've never had a better apple than here, and it makes sense. The cheese offerings are always delicious as well. In my experience, the service is top tier as well. The kind where they offer suggestions and have conversations with you. Must stop!

We prefer dry wines and dark beers & that the hubs likes his IPAs. She suggested we try the 2 specific ciders the 1 for me based on my wine preferences & the 1 for the hubs based on his love of IPAs. She nailed it. They were both good choices and we each preferred the one she recommended for us, individually. We did sample a sweeter option and, nope, still no go.
