10 Best Breweries in Lake Minnetonka

"A post shared by food babies (@food.babies_) on Feb 15, 2020 at 10:49am PST. If you are looking for a place to drink and devour tasty food, while you are out and about with the kids, The Freehouse is the place to be. The Freehouse is a family-friendly buzzworthy brewpub in the historic North Loop known for offering homemade brews, curated cocktails, and a variety of pub fares in a sleek setting."

"Remember that bar and grille from college with 25-cent wing night and Taco Tuesdays?. Freehouse is what happens when that place grows up. Instead of pitchers of lite beer, you’ll find Freehouse’s own craft brews as well as guest selections (think Bells, Lagunitas and Breckenridge)."

"While Moto-i doesn’t have your typical sushi rolls, they do have incredible Japanese food including ramen, steamed buns, sashimi and fried rice. Come for the food, but stick around for one of the best rooftops in Minneapolis."

"Up next we have Moto-i, a popular Japanese restaurant located in Uptown Minneapolis. It’s perhaps most known for brewing their own sake. In fact, it’s the first sake brewpub outside of Japan."

"It seems like the small indoor taproom, which sits in the shadow of nearby Target Field, has been serving up Lonely Blondes since before microbreweries were really a thing. Local's Tip: If you're visiting Target Field, this is a perfect addition. Oh yes, many-a-Minneapolis Twins fans have started their baseball game day with a Fulton Beer or three."

"A massive bar, ample indoor and outdoor seating, and a refurbished Airstream land yacht acting as the kitchen make Fulton a must visit. The Lonely Blonde and Sweet Child of Vine are two impressive members of the Minnesota craft beer pantheon, with the Worthy Adversary imperial stout a must try as well."

"Second to Surly, Fulton is one of the original craft breweries in Minneapolis. They’ve stayed tried and true to their formula."

"That’s what you get when you arrive at BauHaus Beer Labs’ spacious patio complete with picnic tables, string lights, and good conversations. Their beers boast forward-thinking, ingenuity, and creativity, and it can be seen in their selections. They’ve got Pink Guava Goses, Juicy Pale Ales, and a ton of fun-named seasonal crafts to choose from."

"The design in this taproom is eclectic and electric at the same time. It’s an old warehouse hangar with an open concept vibe. I like the blend between craft brewery and German brewery."

"Just blocks away from Target Field and Target Center, Clockwerks Brewing is the perfect pre or post game taphouse. The steampunk-inspired decor and long wooden bar pours in-house brews including a bright, orange witbier, and a deep and comforting Baltic Porter. Clockwerks uses one or two of their taps to support local home brewers, allowing local Twin Cities talent to shine."

"Clockwerks Brewing specializes in drinkable, sessionable beers in a low-key setting. We’re not sure if it’s the intimate bar, the tasteful string lights, or the pool table in the back, but the Cockwerks taproom gives off the unmistakable vibe of a casual hangout. And that’s just fine by us."

"Clockwerks’ fun activities (free-to-play pool table, water bowls for pups, and a wide selection of crafted beers) make them a mutts-try in Minneapolis!"

"Close to Lake Monster is another brewery called Urban Growler Brewing Pub—you could easily do a little brew hop between the two, and it’s the first women-owned microbrewery in Minnesota. This casual, family-friendly spot offers a fun beer garden that is perfect for summer!. There are plenty of picnic tables and a few barrel table tops with the brick building and green shrubs completing the vibe."

"Urban Growler is more on the side of the brewpub than your traditional brewery with a food truck outside. The food is actually awesome at Urban Growler which is a huge plus. Our personal favorite menu item is the nachos."

"Get beer in one hand and food in the other at Urban Growler’s Beer Garden located in the Creative Enterprise Zone. Sample from a wide variety of specialty brews and order grub from the full Brew Food menu."

"In the Northeast, you can start your beer crawl at Indeed Brewing Company and then—depending on your level of motivation—move on to Bahaus Brew Labs, 612 Brew, Dangerous Man Brewing Company, and Sociable Cider Werks, all within blocks of each other. Where to Stay: Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot is just steps from the North Loop, Guthrie Theater, Stone Arch Bridge, and the Mill City Museum in what was formerly the Milwaukee Road Depot—a Renaissance Revival-style train depot built in 1899. Rooms feature twelve-foot ceilings and oversized windows that look out onto the downtown skyline, and in winter the long-span, truss-roofed shed is an enclosed ice-skating rink with floor-to-ceiling windows. Nearby, the Nicollet Island Inn—on a small island on the river—has fashioned a romantic getaway housed in an 1893-era stone building."

"Located right in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis’s brewery district, 612 features an awesome taproom with really cool wall murals by legendary local brewery artist Adam Turman. Local's Tip: Pair 612 with a visit to the nearby breweries Able Seedhouse, Bauhaus Brew Labs, Indeed Brewing, or even Sociable Cider works. (All are within walking distance.)"

"With a large menu and a variety of snacks and entrees, Rock Bottom will always hit the spot. Choose from tacos, burgers, salads, sandwiches, pizza, steak, seafood, and the list goes on!. Share some appetizers, grab a burger or enjoy a three course meal."

"Rock Bottom Minneapolis features fresh, handcrafted beers brewed on the premises and an innovative made-from-scratch menu. Our beers range in style from White to Red to Dark Ales. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 612-332-2739"

"While known as a brewery, Rock Bottom is also a great place for cheap eats. Pub burger, smoked chicken tostadas, avocado chicken sandwich, and veggie mac ‘n cheese are just a few of the star items on their large menu."

"Located in a former car wash, Wild Mind took a while to release the beer it wanted to be known for – wild, sour, funky, barrel-aged, and blended beers. And the wait was worth it. Maintaining a local vibe, Wild Mind cultivates wild yeast found around the state for its slate of sour beers."

"Maybe no brewery in the cities tries more crazy beer experiments than the aptly named Wild Mind Artisan Ales. The beer here is consistently funky, hoppy, and sour…y?. But maybe the best word to describe the beer here?"

"If you like sports, they have a great setup for watching the games with a giant 10-foot screen. Each of their beers are artisanal. I love that because there is something to be said about a quality brewed beer."

"South, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the hair salon, day spa and nail salon 4.5 stars out of 33 reviews."

"Take in the views from Skyline Drive and experience Enger Park and Gardens and the Rose Garden. Tour Glensheen Historic Estate, a historic mansion on 22 acres along the shores of Lake Superior. Have lunch on your own in Canal Park. Stroll the Lakewalk, shop the specialty stores, or just relax and watch the cargo ships entering the harbor."

"Address: 4124 Roseway Rd, Minneapolis, MN 55409, United States. Rating: 4.8 out of 5. A flower-filled garden is undoubtedly a wonderful sight to behold, and to see one right in front of your eyes is a dream come true."

"Fort Snelling State Park has year round free outdoor recreation, from hiking paths to snowshoeing trails. Free events include parent and child ice fishing and an introduction to snowshoeing. You can learn about how to tap trees."
