    Sissel - a tasty sour treat
    Thomas Z.

    Steel Toe is just south of Hwy 7 off of Belt Line Blvd. as is typical for breweries these days, it's a fairly nondescript setting. Sitting in the small bar feels like one is drinking after a shift making beer. Which is to say it's purposely nothing fancy. Half a dozen tables, a dozen bar stools and very good beer - that's about it. More tables and a rotating variety of food trucks in the parking lot. While I did not sample Sweet Lou's Meats, I did enjoy a Sissel, which is a raspberry sour ale served at 5.5% ABV. Tart and tasty. My second was a Lunker, a barleywine aged in rye casks. Kicked my ass a bit at 13.75%, which probably explains why ST pours about 6 oz for $10. Worth it. If I had a campfire to enjoy, the Lunker would be a perfect companion on a chilly evening. All-in, ST is worth a visit.

    Stopped by here with a friend for a couple drinks. Hadn't been here yet. Located in the industrial area of SLP, there was parking in the lot and it was already pretty busy at 5 PM on a Friday. We sat at the bar. Its a clean and lively place with a jovial atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and helpful in recommending beers based on your tastes and preferences. You could tell they get a bunch of regulars and they had a really good amount of people that stopped by to pick up and restock. Started off with the Czech Pils. Had their sour (Sissel) next. Wanted to try their EBS (Extra Bitter Special). It was yummy so got that to end our evening at Steel Tow Brewing. All the beers were great. Very tasty. The ESB was so good that I had to get some to go for home. Like other breweries in town, there isn't a kitchen and you can't really get any food other than some bar snacks. They did have a food truck outside that you could pick up stuff from and bring it in if you so desire. We had a fun time with the delicious beers and will be back to try some of the others

    We loved their logo. We stopped by on Sunday afternoon and there were tons of people. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. We had no trouble getting a beer or finding a place to sit. We didn't love the beer. My sour was really sour so if that's what you like perfect. My husband is a big IPA drinker but it wasn't his favorite. We really liked the atmosphere and the people were really nice.

    This place was great! The people working there were all super nice. I had a couple beers and they were delicious. It has a nice combination of open, spacious seating inside and a lovely outdoor patio. There was a fantastic Momo food truck outside that I was told is often there. I brought home some crowlers and both were excellent too. One of the better breweries I've visited in the Plymouth area.

    Didn't even know this was a brewery until going to an event in the area. We only had 1 beer due to them not having food and us being hungry. Bartender was very nice and told us about all the beers. Parking lot is big and it looks like they have a nice patio in the summer. Far drive from my house and I wish they had better food options. Good brewery.

    No matter how old you are...

    Always a great stop for a cold beer, especially on these hot summer days. At least 21 but never too old!

    Summer weizen
    Elizabeth W.

    Steel Toe has been around for a while for a simple reason. Good beer. Nothing too crazy. A smattering of styles, mostly well done. (I am not crazy about their version of a sour, but that is my only complaint. Their Hefeweizen is perfect in a hot summer evening. I also appreciate the large patio they have built with many umbrellas and overhangs so you can enjoy the outdoors without burning. Great place for a beer.

    Sissel
    Amy P.

    I visited Steel Toe with my aunt for drinks and ended up ordering the Sissel, a raspberry sour ale. I'm not a fan of beer so I was nervous to try anything but a raspberry drink sounded good. And wow, yeah it was good. Like I said, I'm not a fan of beer but this sour ale was really good and refreshing. Their outdoor area was perfect for sitting at in the summer and there was even a food truck the evening I was there. I'll definitely be visiting again.

    This is a very cool brewery to check out. We stopped in here for a beer and tried their flagship which was Size 7, an IPA. It was a good tasting beer, however I wish they also offered more of a hazy IPA as well. I also tried some samples of the 2 sour, the Sissel and Autumn Rays. I liked the Autumn Rays (Mango Passion Fruit) flavor much more than the Sissel (Raspberry). There was a lot of parking for the venue size. The venue looks small when you first walk in as you see a bar to the right that you order and some bar spots and tables to the left. We found another large room in the back that gave us a lot of room. We came during the winter and this would be a great place in the summer with all the garage doors open.

    Sticker Fight Double IPA
    Scott S.

    Favorite beer in the cities is here at steel toe brewing. They have a strong menu of several IPAs, and my personal favorite is their double IPA sticker fight. It's citrusy and not too bitter. A truly delicious beer. Many other great options, with a great selection of rotating seasonal beers. I wish they had some of them all year round they are so good. They have a nice patio in the summer and they've recently remodeled some of their indoor spaces to make it bigger and nicer. Great staff too, always friendly and welcoming!

    Beer flights and food truck eats!!

    Beer flights and an awesome line-up of food trucks!!! During fall it was nice sitting outside after work and I loved trying out the different types of beer. It's tucked away like a little neighborhood gem!!

    Ask the Community - Steel Toe Brewing

    Are there heaters in the patio seating area?

    No.

    I know they have food trucks. Does anyone know if you can also order food in?

    Don't think it's an issue because I've brought in pizza in the past.

    They have 4 different brews available, but I tend to get just the Size 7 IPA and the Dissent dark ale.

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.

In fact a neighbor across from the patio was literally painting his white picket fence! So, it's a unique setup for a mpls brewery taproom from the start. I walked in and was assaulted by a sickeningly sweet smell. Not sure if that's them brewing up their beet beer (beet beer--WHY?!) We both ordered the Saison. It had decent belgian notes but it was half-flat and a little sweet for my taste. It's nice they have a patio but it's beset by constant traffic from 44th St on one side and a parking lot with porta pottys on the other. Not exactly getting any fresh air. Moreover, the seating at picnic tables and high tops with cheap un-cushioned bar stools felt pretty half assed but that went along with the overall theme. They allow outside food and had a food truck operating when we went there which was a plus. Ultimately neither one of us were thrilled with our first tap so we bailed. Can't speak on the entire tap line but unlikely we will come back unless our friends ask us to. So almost nearly there in every respect but not quite. 3.75/5 rounding up to 4.

I didn't see any N/A options besides water which is a bummer but I could have missed that. I believe they also had cider and some wine as well. To start you go up and receive a card that is attached to your tab. You then scan that card before pouring yourself a glass or tasting from the beer well and it automatically adds the pricing for the ounces you poured to your tab. The brewery itself is really spacious! Multiple levels, each with a different vibe which I love. When we were there there was live music on the top level and the lowest level was giving chill speakeasy vibes. They also have food options which is nice.
