    The Sunken Cathedral Smoothie Style Sour Ale from Wild Mind Ales.
    Alden C.

    At long last I got to try Wild Mind Ales out of Minneapolis and it was a very good experience. Steve and I had the Sunken Cathedral which is a smoothie type sour. All sorts of flavors to look for with this beer as it is very complex. Look for flavor features like Blackberry, Lime, Marshmallow and tartness. The beer is fairly sweet but it has enough of a sour feature in the flavor profile to cause a puckering effect.

    Wild Mind Ales is a fun place to go -- tucked away in an industrial corner of south Minneapolis. The selection of brews is impressive, and everything we tried was so good! Lots of friendly people, and dogs and kids and board games, and room inside and outside at larger, community tables. (This is great because you can make friends!!) The outdoor area is large and welcoming (although, there seems to be an unused food truck and a tree that need's replacing -- only mentioned here because the place is so fun, these minor clean-ups would make it even better!). It's a good place for a good time. Hoping to take neighbors next week!

    The taps weren't working and they couldn't get someone out because of the holiday weekend. That was ok because they had local beers in cans and were nice and put them in mugs for us. I asked for a beer close to water and she recommended a really good one. Not sure what my husband had. The Timberwolves and Mavericks were playing and sadly the fire pits weren't lit because of the rain from earlier. It was a really nice place and we enjoyed ourselves after our long flight from Texas.

    When we walked in it was busy but we were helped fairly quickly and the bar tenders were efficient. It was clean and there is space to sit inside or out. It was a fairly young crowd with people doing a variety of things playing games, chatting, working on computers. There were quite a few dogs with their owners in the patio area enjoying the nice weather. The beer was good and if you don't want beer there is also a coffee shop right beside the bar area. They also had a food truck.

    I loved this brewery. Their beers? On point! Their atmosphere? On point! On site killer coffee spot? Sure does! Charming AF holiday market this past Sunday? You bet! 10/10!

    We have been wanting to check this brewery out for years, and it finally happened. We love sour beers, but we were with friends, who don't, and they still had a lot of options for beers that were not sour. Everyone loved their beers. But their patio is what really stood out! It's huge, there aren't a whole lot of breweries with huge patios, and this one had green space and fire pits as well, which explains why it was packed with people. Very family friendly, kids running around everywhere. Beautiful patio lights came on when dusk settled in. One thing I didn't like as they don't do samples or flights. I took off a star for this, because I can only visit so many breweries, when I get to a new one I really want to try a bunch of things. So they could definitely improved by offering flights. But still I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a beer lover!

    Stopped by @wildmindales to try their IPA side by side, one with @phantasm.nz and one without. The Phantasm took the intensity of the tropical fruits to a whole new level. I feel I have an obligation to try all beers made with this amazing ingredient. Beers tried: Fatal Vision and Fatal Vision: Phantasm (Pictured) - A DIPA with immense tropical fruit flavors (guava, orange, and general citrus) with hop bitterness and fruit pith in flavor. 3 The Hard Way - A Mexican lager with unique corn flavors coming from usage of blue and purple corn. Terror Bird - Fantastic American styled Barleywines that starts off bitter from hop additions but ends with light caramel and toffee sweetness.

    Beer was just okay. AC either wasn't working or they don't have it...they had overhead fans but still very warm inside. Great outdoor space to sit when it's not so hot out. They don't have flights but allow you to get half pours. So many breweries in the area - this was just average IMO.

    Walking up to the opened garage doors and under the string lighting sets a great mood. The patio is a grass lawn with comfortable seating and various picnic style communal tables as well. The bartenders are accommodating because wild minds does some Atypical styles of beer. The colorful space is airy and inviting. The styles are unique and delicious so this is a must stop for the brewcurious

    Wild Mind Ales has some excellent food items lately. Their Bahn Mi is an interesting take on the Vietnamese sandwich, but very good. I also tried the Polenta and Beef, very creamy. And of course some beer-to-go, which was excellent. One hiccup with the curbside though. When ordering online they say call when you arrive, however the number goes to an automated message. The actual curbside sign says text when you arrive, however there was no response and no food coming out. I had to go inside to pickup my order, which defeats having a COVID friendly service. I would like to say the staff made up for this mishap by throwing in an extra Crowler, this was excellent customer service!!

    This brewery is not exactly in a great location but they make it work! The are located in the middle of an industrial park, right next to a stone and brick company. Even so, they've created a good space with greenery and lots of outdoor tables. The indoor space is well done too, with huge garage doors that they open, weather permitting. There is a permanent food truck on site. I didn't get a chance to try them, but what I saw folks getting looked amazing. They have a large selection of beers. I had their Kolsch beer (okay, I had two) and it was really well done. Definitely worth a trip!

    We used to come here alot and loved the vibe and the beers - especially their sours beers! They have indoor-outdoor seating with open garage doors in the summer. They recently started serving food so we were excited to come here for dinner! My husband got pork tacos and I got a burger. Overall we were unimpressed, unfortunately- my burger was dry and 'meh', my husband's tacos were 'ok'. We'll be back because it's close and great beers--and maybe the food will improve since it's still new!

    I visited Wild Mind during a trip to Minneapolis for a conference. I was looking for a cool local brewery to try and I love "funky" beers so once I heard about wild mind I knew I had to try it! It's a great brewery, they have a nice, laid back outdoor area with a cool vibe. And their beer, if you like funk, this is the place for you. Sooo good! I tried the jet ski reservations and the spontane and really liked them both! I found out you can buy some of their beers in Philly which is super exciting. Def recommend this place!

    I loved the place... Saison was awesome, and Race Dog IPA wasn't too shabby. Fun atmosphere and great people (and dogs) wandering about.
