    Fruited Blonde Ale

    Was nearby and checked out our Pub Pass to see if there was a place nearby to get a drink deal and Wooden Ship was the closest. What a fun little space! The interior is cozy feeling, but still has plenty of space. Beertenders were friendly and had great recommendations. There were a couple of seasonal items that looked great, so we gave them a try. Just a great stop for some local goodness. We will definitely be back!

    We took a short cut through the neighborhood and found this brewery. Place was small but had alot of people. Daily schedule for food trucks on site, brewery does not offer food, only beer. I went to order food at the truck and had my aunt choose the beers for a flight, 4 out of 5 were sour. Order beers and flights at the counter, pay at the counter. They also have canned beer and souvenir for purchase. Line was long but service was quick.

    Visited 10/26/25. Wooden Ship is such a fun neighborhood brewery. It can get busy at times, especially when cooler outside and less space, but it has the most fun experimental brews! If you like sours and unique flavors, it is definitely the place for you. Great visit in the summertime after walking Lake Harriet, but also really fun in the fall as well. Would recommend.

    A small neighborhood microbrewery in Linden Hills, Minneapolis that I frequent with my cousin every year near his home. The off brand cereal beer tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The Grodziskie beer tasted like bacon in a glass. Very unique beer. My cousin told me he got in a fight with the bar staff previously because they made him wait in line to close his tab but we had no problem on this occasion.

    It's a brewery. Beer should be #1. And....it is. The beer is fantastic. I had the Grodziskie (Polish smoked beer) and the Rye, Rye Captain, rye stout. Both uncommon styles and both excellent. Street parking, outdoor patio, some sodas and snacks. Friendly service. Cool vibe.

    Oh my god I am OBSESSED with this place! Stopped in tonight to play Initials Game Live and now I literally can't wait to go back. The taproom space is on the smaller side of the ones I've been to (maybe seats 50 or so?) and it has such a warm and cozy vibe. Anthony at the bar was an absolute star and was able to recommend some great drinks for us! They don't have a kitchen, so they occasionally have food trucks (moreso during the warmer months I think?) but regardless, you're able to bring in your own food from outside--I happened to bring in a beet salad from Broder's nearby which serendipitously paired perfectly with the beet and lemon beer I got! They also have some great NA options including kombucha, sodas, their own signature THC seltzer, and--during these colder months--$1 hot chocolate!! You can get a boozy hot chocolate for $5, but the literal one buck non-alc version was exactly what I needed tonight, and they absolutely pack on the mini marshmallows. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other offerings!

    Whenever I go to the Twin Cities for work, which is a few times a year, I seek out breweries I haven't been to before. Which isn't terribly difficult because there are so many in the Cities and many of them are excellent. The main reason I went to Wooden Ship on my late September trip was because my favorite food truck -- Amazing Momo -- was there that evening. Wooden Ship is a great place -- it's in a nice, seemingly quiet neighborhood and the venue itself is quite attractive. The staff was really nice. I had a few beers that were great and took a few home to share with my wife too. Everything about the experience was great! I'll definitely check it out again.

    Great place to hang out and have a few beers. They normally have a food truck on site so you can get some food. The patio is great for sitting out and sipping a cold one. Dogs are welcome which is a awesome. The staff is friendly and helpful in helping you pick out the drink depending on your preferences and mood. I enjoy going over here for a few with friends and recommend stopping here if you are in the mood for some craft brews. It can get pretty busy so go early and scout yourself a table.

    Really small, creative brewery that's a 5 minute walk from 3 ice cream shops, 3 bakeries, a deli, and several restaurants. I'm here pretty often for their rotating taps and food trucks. The staff had always been friendly and happy to answer any questions. The tap room is pretty cramped and the patio isn't too big but they're both dog friendly. It's a nice place to grab a beer before or after getting some food nearby or walking around the lake. If they have a beer they sounds too crazy to work it's, at the worst, just "ok". Go for it.

    We walked inside and there was a long line for the bar. It was well lit and people were sitting at tables enjoying their drinks. The drink list was projected onto a wall. The bartender was friendly and joked with us as she was taking our order. We made it just in time for happy hour which is a great deal and I highly recommend it. Our beer was good. I had "I'm over Dry January" which was strong, dark and delicious. My husband had "somebody had to say it" which was a fruited blond ale which he said was good. We sat in the tented area on the patio. There were quite a few people - families, groups of young and older people, couples of all ages and lots of well behaved dogs. It was definitely a place we'd go back to.

    They're up and coming There is always a big line I grab a bar stool Been here a few times now. Have to say they are killing it as far as crowd control is concerned. It's a pretty small brewery in a pretty trendy neighborhood. First time there I waited outside to get in. Since then, no waiting outside and have always managed to get a bar stool. Ordering Line still backs up super close to the entry door, though. Most of the patrons seem to like to sit outside on the crowded patio. Never been my jam for drinking or eating. First couple times I went most everything was in the three range for me on Untappd. They have seemed to pick it up as is often the case with new breweries. Today, all 3 sampled were four and above. I would mention names of beers had, but they rotate super heavy which is awesome! One or two at the absolute most on flagships for any brewery - no problem in that regard here. They are like a neighborhood or two away from my neighborhood. I would be willing to swap either of my two neighborhood ones out to bring this one closer to me.

    I have been here a handful of times and every time I have had great service! Today I went in to enjoy a beer and read a book with my pup. The staff was very friendly and the music and vibe inside was amazing! I can't wait to come back to try out other beers in their great selection

    Patio!

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes, for well controlled dogs. Have seen plenty of them there. Lots of small kids and not a big space so not good for high energy or excitable dogs.

The patio is a huge highlight. It's spacious, well set up, and perfect for enjoying drinks outside, especially in the warmer months. There are games to play, plenty of seating, and a really fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to spend a few hours there without even realizing it. The food is also a standout, which isn't always the case at breweries. We especially love the pizza and the elote fries, both are consistently delicious and pair perfectly with their drinks. It's nice to have food options that go beyond the basics and actually feel like a reason to come back. The staff has always been super friendly and patient, even when it's busy, which we really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Inside, the space is just as great. There are two levels and games you can play, so there's plenty to do no matter the weather. Overall, this is one of our go-to spots and somewhere we find ourselves coming back to again and again.

We especially enjoyed the roped off area outdoors as we got a perfect weather day for our event. Drink selection was fantastic, appetizers were good, buffet dinner was fabulous, and the staff was top tier. Special shout out to Bri who was incredibly attentive, available and communicative throughout our event. Thank you, thank you. Would recommend over and over.

It actually looks like an old elementary school building. Food is available next door and seems to have a rotating food truck, but the brewery itself doesn't appear to have food directly. Lots of brews to choose from and has coffee in the morning. I tried a mango wheat and hubs had a milk and cookies stout. I would have liked mine a bit better if it was toned back on the hoppy flavor, but it was still decent. This place is VERY kid/family-friendly. Not that that's a bad thing, just more for awareness that kids are readily running around, in case that does have an impact on your choice to go one way or another.

It's a big space for working remotely with lots of different tables and comfy nooks. Coffee was good enough and there are snacks, not meals, though they typically have a food truck parked out back.

I enjoyed the gingerbread latte while working and a friend met me after. I came another time after work when I enjoyed the salted caramel stout - highly recommend, esp if you find IPAs to be bitter as I do. It was good! Noticed they sell thc gummies and beverages and beer to go, plus lots of their own merch. There's 2 pool tables, pin ball machines, foosball, board games, and other games to play. They activate event nights often, like trivia, yoga, networking, etc., and even pet adoption events. It's very dog friendly, so expect to be among them. It's also family friendly and I noticed couples with their small kids, parents and grandparents, etc. Staff are friendly. Self ordering at the counter.
