Everything about this place is amazing! Excellent variety of beer styles and logo merchandise, as well as stylish indoor and outdoor seating with a great vibe. My wife and I went there two nights in a row while in the Brainerd area because we loved it so much the first time.

Visited as we drove past. They had a BBQ food truck but we did not try (just had dinner). Live music on the weekend. Beer was mediocre to solid. Pastry sour was horrid. IPAs and stouts were decent/good, check untapped if you are a beer snob. But venue was fun.

They had about 20 of their beers on tap. You could pick 5 and have a tasting....which I did. They were all quite good. I would definitely return for more tasting!!!

We walked in excited to try a new place …looking to celebrate our wedding planning journey and a possible option for our wedding party. Unfortunately we left after 8-10 minutes of not being greeted and watching three men stand there while we sat belly up to the bar top.

As a small business owner, the first two - three minutes of a staff interaction can “make or break” the sale. We patiently waited 8-10 minutes.

*We walked right in- STOOD at the computers/ looking around as we know nothing about this location. (While standing staring at the beer menu- one foot from the three gentleman.) NO words were said/exchanged. So, we just walked to the next best option to have engagement. (Bar top)

*We sat at the bar top, because we wanted to interact with the staff and beers.

Facts:
*We sat giggling watching the gentleman chat with each other and assumed that they would come to notice us. They just really liked their conversation- totally amazing to have friends at work:) But….
*I had a $50 sitting on the counter for the duration of 8 minutes.
*After 8 minutes when we started getting our jackets on….one gentleman walked over and told us, “You need to order your beer at the counter. We don’t do TABLE a service.” (Unfortunately we were not at a table- we were sitting bar top/and an arm reach from the computer system to enter in our drinks.)
*There was no sign stating this, nor were we properly informed of the process while sitting two feet.

(Keep in mind there was zero costumers ordering and it wasn’t busy.)

So my take away: If you want service/beer here - walk right in to computer desk area and state with a hand gesture wave we want help. *Because, they won’t help unless you ask!!!!

Bummed to have had this experience, because I was craving great beer. We went to BIG Axe and Woodlore cider and the service was AMAZING!

This brewery is great. We were staying in the lodge next door, so it was a perfect Saturday afternoon visit. I love the facilities. It has a Minnesota vibe with lodge decor and an outdoor patio surrounded by pines.

I value a breadth of styles in a brewery. Everyone's taste is different. The more styles they have, the more likely you are to find something you like. It's extra special when you find several beers you like. The three of us bought flights, which had five 4oz pours. We pretty much got to try everything.

I did not give this place five stars because I like breweries where you can interact with key employees that make the beer or are very knowledgeable. The two servers were kind, interactive and polite, but they did not engage with the same love of an owner, master brewer or invested employee.

This brewery was one of the best breweries I have stopped at. They had a great selection of beers and a flight of four beers was $9. The jalapeño cream ale and the dill pickle cream ale were fantastic! The peach sour was also very good. I would defiantly stop here again!

We go to a lot of breweries in Minnesota. This one has an extensive selection of beers, they do flights, is in a cool building and has a great patio area. Couldn't ask for more, I dont think! Had a great time.
