Forgotten Star Brewing Co. – Great Vibes & Great Beer 🍻🐾

Awesome spot to hang out with friends! The place is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, which is always a plus. 🐶

They’ve got a big variety of beers, and everything we tried was solid. There’s even an area you can reserve for events, which is perfect if you’re planning something special.

Had a really nice time just chilling, catching up with friends, and doing a bit of networking. Definitely a spot I’d go back to.

I recently attended a networking event here for creative mornings. They have a great event space and staff an excellent beer. I also hung out and did a little one-on-one meeting afterwards. It’s a great place to mingle with friends or conduct business meetings or do your own work while you sip on a beverage! Highly recommend for bingo and trivia nights as well!

Had the absolute best experience here! I’ve been to a lot of breweries across the country, and worked as an Assistant Manager at a liquor store that specialized in craft beer, and everything I tried on the tasting menu today had its own distinct and delicious flavor. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and the manager went above and beyond and comped my meal just because the checkout at the kiosk was momentarily down. Such a kind gesture! Do not only does this place have great beer, the service is top notch and the atmosphere/ambiance is a 10/10. Go make your way to Fridley, folks. A++

Never heard of this place but showed up because they were hosting a trivia called the initials game. What a great joint. What a big joint! Will definitely make our way back over to this place. The scenery was phenomenal. The decoration was what you would expect for a large repurposed building that had its history built in a warehouse. Well ordained tons of people with a food truck that had great food and quick service. Can't remember what beer I drank but I asked for a typical blonde ale and I enjoyed it. Went with four people. There was ample room everywhere. Even grab some photographs from the outside curling... I'd recommend this place.

Reserved part of the tap room for an engagement party recently and was so happy with the experience. The space worked great for us, the photos turned out great with all of the greenery they have indoors, but it was the staff that really stood out. From the time Lauren spent answering our questions before the event to the team behind the counter day of, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

We’ve been waiting for this place to open since Harriet brewing closed. We were not disappointed. The space is large, and clean. There are two levels to allow for social distancing. The tables are properly spaced to encourage social distancing and masks are required when moving about. Overall the staff have taken care to provide a safe environment for patrons.

Based on a sign at check-in, reservations are encouraged. We did not have reservations and did not have a problem getting in right away. We visited on a Saturday around noon. I look forward to visiting when it’s patio season. All of the windows in this place our garage doors, so looking forward to warm weather. The outdoor patio has a fire pit. This place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

The beer assortment was decent, and the beers we tried were very good. The interior is aesthetically pleasing.  We look forward to returning to try more selections.

Absolutely the best grocery/restaurant for Mediterranean cuisine. I have enjoyed everything from the hummus to the shawarma to the chicken Gyro. Perfection I feel like I’m in Egypt or Jerusalem eating the best food from each of these places. The complimentary tea should be charged because of how good it is. The honey cake is to die for. I will return and whenever I wish to eat Mediterranean this is where I am going. You will not regret this decision.

I've been a huge fan of their Mirror Universe beer and finally got to visit in person.  I was excited to try some new hazy IPAs that were on tap here and the tap room is a welcoming and friendly place.  Great staff and reasonable prices.

Parking and the neighborhood safety with vagrants loitering outside is however a concern I would have before returning.

Roomy and comfortable brewery off of Central. The staff is always friendly, there’s plenty of seating inside, and there’s a nice patio in the back.
During the day this is a nice place to bring a book or get some work done. There’s street parking on Central or I recommend parking in the neighborhood behind it.

Cute hole in the wall brewery. Not a ton of seating with room for ~50 inside. Cute patio though. Lots of beer choices with a wide variety. The beet beer is a favorite. My husband gave the juicy ipa a 5/5 which is rare for him! Street parking, accepting bathrooms, popcorn and beef sticks available for purchase as well.

A brewery with great indoor and outdoor atmospheres. In addition Utepils has a large menu of beers and everyone should be able to find a beer they like!

The brewery is close to Theodore park which makes it a perfect spot for a break on a long bike ride or stop at after a run.

The outdoor patio has plenty of seating in the shade thanks to a large tent in the summer. The indoor seating gets great views of brewery equipment.

There are often times a food truck in the parking lot. There are various events and happy hours as well.

places/ChIJ44SMFBAzs1IRLGiV1NgqqXo/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VLemhrT0NlbEpiUG1RRRAB

This place was high on my list of places to visit while in Minneapolis. With a name like that, any Norwegian would be curious😄
And I was not dissapointed.
The location is spacious, with plenty of indoor seating, bar seating (including a small stage for live music), and a beautiful backyard area with lots of seating, including some cozy chairs facing the river.

It was absolutely lovely sitting there in the sun, enjoying a utepils!

There’s a large bar with a wide variety of beers on tap, as well as hard seltzers and non-alcoholic options.
The brewery offers a great range of beer styles, including several German-style brews, which was a fun and refreshing change. It’s nice to visit a brewery where the selection isn’t dominated by just one trendy style.

You can also get beer flights here, and this place has one of the coolest flight presentations I’ve seen: a pair of half-skis holding five beers each.

My favorite was the Hoppestokk, a 5.6% ABV lager — but honestly, all the beers were tasty and well made!

There’s a solid selection of beers to-go, plus some great merch including glassware, T-shirts, and more. I picked up a cool T-shirt and a few stickers.

While the brewery might seem to be a bit outside downtown, it’s easily accessible by bus plus a short walk. I’d highly recommend a visit to Utepils Brewing!

To be honest, this is not my favorite collection of beer. They're just not in my flavor profile. However, everything else about this place is awesome. The THC beverages are delicious and they always have good food trucks on hand (surprising that they don't offer their own food). The space itself is open and energetic--especially that backyard!! They offer great events and live music, so there is always something happening here, adding to the liveliness. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful, which I love and appreciate, of course. I only wish parking wasn't a nightmare--otherwise this place is dreamy!

I didn't have a 5 star experience mostly due to the indifferent, poor bar service from the two women who ignored me when I wanted to order.  The bearded guy however was very nice and eventually took care of me.

They have some pretzel tins and popcorn you can buy at the bar otherwise it is all tap beers and hard seltzer.  I prefer the Size 7 and the Sticker Fight.

Delicious beer, great food trucks, but WOW there are a lot of screaming children sprinting around under foot almost every time we’re there. I’m all for a family friendly brewery, don’t get me wrong, but it can get pretty deafening and challenging to get around without spilling a full beer.

We went to Steel Toe for the first time today. We enjoyed the best of Minneapolis summer entertainment. They have a nice outdoor area with a food truck for your tummy. We played a trivia game and saw others playing cribbage. It was quiet and lots of actual chatting and interacting that doesn't happen when music or TV is overbearing.

HeadFlyer Brewing

Stopped in on Feb 1 to try a beer release and beer poking. HeadFlyer has a solid selection of beer of great variety. The taproom is a part of an old textile building shared with other businesses. Definitely a cool spot, even though it could be crowded. The patio outside is spacious, but also looks like it could be crowded easily. They also have the Wolf's Den where they have watch parties for Timberwolf games. Overall, staff was pretty top notch. It did seem like one of the staff was just annoyed about everything. Maybe that's just their way of operating. Overall, this is definitely a brewery to visit for the first time or 100th time to enjoy a beer.

As Headflyer regulars, we wanted to incorporate them into our wedding weekend. We decided to host our "Welcome to Minneapolis" drinks at this venue. We worked with the events team at HeadFlyer and reserved the 3 table spaces for our guests. Even when many more people arrived than we expected, the bartenders were great and able to keep up with orders and busing tables. The pizza truck and beers were huge hits with our guests and we couldn't be happier with the night went!

Decent beer with a good amount of variety. Very noisy tap room. Don't expect to have a conversation at a normal voice level. The outdoor area looks great but has limited seating as well as being a little small. Good use of the space for what they have. Staff was rude and a little harsh. They didn't seem to care to provide an  enjoyable customer experience. One employee shouted "Last call" right in the faces of two customers at the bar.  Oh they have a wii so that's cool. The interior was fresh and modern. A nice brewery but with so many in the TC area I don't see myself having a reason to go back. Best of luck!

Maybe a 2 / 2.5 stars? Depends on what you are ranking. Inside there is a brewery, a food place, and a coffee place, but all three are individual, so if you want to order from each of them, it is a completely separate order. That makes things complicated, because we did order from all three. The beer was average, no one in our group was hugely impressed with the beer. The food was average: hotdogs and brats? However, the coffee was really good. The interior was like a cafeteria, which is really what the vibe felt like from ordering to seating. It looked like outside was better. Lots and lots of children running around, this was very much a 'bring your little kids' type of place. We all had one beer and headed somewhere else.

What a wonderful experience going to broken clock brewing cooperative was today. We started with having an amazing cappuccino and double shot of espresso, then we had a beautiful bagel that looked like calzone style bagel, then two items that were labeled as pop tarts that were absolutely delicious, and we’re so much more than a pop tart, my friend, and I are still trying to think of what we can call them other than pop tarts. We then had an opportunity to taste a couple of the Tap beers that had been recommended to us cat dad, and then we tasted another ail that I did not catch the name of both of which are beautiful, rich wonderful, aromas, nice effervescence and a beautiful clean finish. Then for a bit of fun we went over and looked at the wearables and of course ended up with a couple of shirts. All in all an amazing experience that could only have been topped by playing a game of pinball which we did not have time for. An opportunity for us to return at a later date..

Summit is where craft brewing started for the Twin Cities, so go for the history if nothing else. But they also make great beer - less hit and miss than some of the other area brewers, and more personality too. I especially appreciate their including of lower ABV options, bucking the trend of always boozier beer. The taproom (the "Ratskeller") is no frills but comfy, with long communal tables. Frequent food trucks. Fun brewery tours. Highly recommended.

There were 11 of us on a Saturday at 5.  Initially we had great service but after a while there were several of us who had empty glasses.  Once the server arrived he only allowed one person to request a refill before he turned around to fill the request. Please train your servers to scan the whole table to see who else needs refills. The food was great. Drinks were great.  Location was amazing, we will return.

Truly loved the drinks, I had the 16oz Topanga tap beer and it was by far one of the smoothest beers I’ve had. I really enjoyed it and the price point was solid as well, I tried my friends drink, she ordered the space cadet and it was citrusy with a hit of boozy tequila for sure! We got their about and hour before they closed (maybe that was our mistake) but we ordered the Parmesan fries and they definitely felt soggy and not crispy at all and they are literally not salted apart from the Parmesan dusting. Which kind of sucked. They truffle aioli tasted more like a ranch to the both of us (it was good but it was more runny as opposed to creamy) and as soon as we ordered with the bartender it was less than 2 minutes they had the fries ready which I wonder if that added to the reason they lacked crispiness. I think the portion was perfect for the both of to share we even had some left that we weren’t able to finish. I loved the outdoor patio, it’s such a hidden gem that could be easily missed. I hope to try their food sometime soon, their taki & cool ranch dorito wings/tenders definitely caught my attention! Hope to also try their Naz Reid Hazy IPA tap beer. Will hopefully be back again sometime this summer!

This is the best place to eat in the seven corners area of Minneapolis. The service (servers, runners, host) is always friendly.  The peach burger we recently tried was delicious.  Very juicy with the cheese melted to perfection.  Fries are super crispy. Their beer selection is quite extensive, and the house beers are usually quite good.  This is a college area so much of the crowd is college-aged, but at least early in the evening the atmosphere is fun, but not rowdy.

We absolutely loved our visit to Town Hall Brewing! The food was phenomenal — by far the best bar food we had during our entire stay in town. We tried the Town Hall Tots, the Juicy Lucy, and the Wild Rice Hotdish — each dish was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and full of comfort food goodness. Seriously, if you're in Minneapolis, this place is a must.

Our bartender/server was fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations that really elevated our experience. On top of all that, the vibe of the place is just awesome. It has this really cool retro atmosphere that makes you want to hang out for hours.

Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back

Beer was pretty good, but I wasn't sure at first. The place and beer reminded me of something like a national brewery chain, like a Rock Bottom, or Gordon Biersch. It had that type of vibe to it. But the beer was good. Best one of the day was the Golden Mosaic. Their sours were okay. Patio seating was nice, and it was not busy.

Old school gastropub with interesting choices of beers, inventive food and warm service. I tried their blood orange beer & really liked it. Their wild rice burger was average- the avocado used was over ripe & it kinda stole the thunder. The fried cheese curds were quite tasty but wish they were less oily.

places/ChIJWXJFzWkts1IRc_B_voNR6xY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VQSGh4bzZ6bko2aXF3RRAB

Stopped here for a late dinner. Got seated right away. A bit noisy and a bit chilly. Love their Scotch ale, and they made a really good whiskey old-fashioned press.
The server was Johnny on the spot (Tayor). He helped us order the exact right thing, and he was right. The blackened Walleye was excellent, but the wild rice hot dish was AMAZING! We asked for the recipe. The grilled eggplant panini and fries were excellent as well.
Will definitely come here again.

Indeed Brewing Company Northeast Taproom

places/ChIJiRDMp5Ets1IRxbOuCiddNNE/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURIN2ZmSlh3EAE

This place is fantastic.  Service is fast and friendly.  It's a great gathering place with tons of seating.  The outdoor patio is huge and has great lighting.  I highly recommend Indeed, great vibes all around.  They serve a fantastic Oktoberfest brew which I would get again and again.

places/ChIJiRDMp5Ets1IRxbOuCiddNNE/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21SSFEzVmxNbFZpVDJjMVp6Z3lUa3M1VkdsaUxYYxAB

Really liked this place. Hidden away and unassuming, the interior taproom is small, but really nice. Outside is a larger patio, next to a railroad. Large selection of beers, sampled a pale, a sour, a peach IPA, a pilsner, and a cream ale. All were really good. Great atmosphere and staff.

places/ChIJiRDMp5Ets1IRxbOuCiddNNE/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURYcVk2Z1dnEAE

Friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere and character, with lots of outdoor seating (hopefully you like loud freight trains AND beer).

I'm not a huge fan of their beers except Mexican Honey but they had great selection including non alcoholic stuff for the kids.

They don't take American express either.

Really cool brewery with a view of the train tracks!! There’s a lot of events here with it being so close to so many art galleries and more!

places/ChIJiRDMp5Ets1IRxbOuCiddNNE/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURkdThEZWt3RRAB

Wow, it's been a long time since I last visited Indeed!  Although it's definitely changed since the last time I visited (new parking lot, more parking, better outdoor lighting, bigger outdoor patio, additional spaces to hang out inside in), in a way Indeed Brewing was just the way I remember it!

A wonderful brewery and taproom, it was full of energy and activity on the night I visited.  Great vibe on a Saturday night! The room was warm, and I loved the lower lighting, original old wood columns and rafters (old warehouse), and the ENORMOUS wood bar, that spans the full length of the taproom.  I remembered that old wood bar, which, when sitting at it, makes you feel like you're in an old Western movie ("barkeep, slide me down a frothy beer, please?", haha)

The taproom is modestly large, though intimate, with a large patio outside too.  Parking is now better than I remember, and the lot is paved and runs along the railroad tracks.  I didn't see any dogs in the taproom.  Lots of plants inside, much like Blackstack Brewing.  Local artwork from the nearby "art-a-whirl" events are sprinkled throughout, too.

On this night I tried their "Moon Dance", a creamy, dark oatmeal stout which was delicious and smooth.  There are many other NA and Kombucha drinks offered, as well as the THC stuff.  See my photo for the current taplist.  Oh, and on the way to the bathroom, Indeed has a true DONUT VENDING MACHINE!  OK, never saw that before, and I've traveled to Japan 8 times now (home of the vending-machine-on-every-block concept).

A great end-of-the night place, and if you're into romance, this place has a lot going for it, smallish, intimate, and romantic!

Wooden Hill Brewing Company

This is one of those over rated locations that while it’s still a decent burger, it’s over priced and not really worth it. The twin cities have excellent options for burgers and this one was just a bit underwhelming. I wouldn’t go back for their burger but might go back to try other beer offerings.

places/ChIJ3_0fRd0j9ocROkg5mhmE3AQ/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xadVNHcHNZWFo0UmkxWWVrNXRRblpJUkdsTFIyYxAB

If you're ever in Edina and looking for a chill spot that's a bit off the beaten path, you've got to check out Wooden Hill Brewing. Seriously, it's tucked away in a business park, which might sound a little odd for a brewery, but trust me, it just adds to its hidden gem charm.
Once you step inside, you'll be pleasantly surprised by just how much space they have. "Ample seating" is almost an understatement – whether you're looking for a cozy corner for a quiet chat or a bigger table for a whole crew, they've got you covered. No awkward hovering, which is always a plus.
Now, let's talk about the important stuff: the food and the beer. Their menu is anything but standard brewery fare. They really put some thought into it, and you can tell. Everything I've tried has been delicious, from their elevated pub grub to the more unique seasonal specials. It's the kind of food that makes you want to try a bit of everything on the table.
And the beer? Oh, the beer. They've got a fantastic selection, with plenty of variety to keep any palate happy. Whether you're into hoppy IPAs, smooth stouts, or something a little lighter, you're bound to find a new favorite. They're always brewing up something interesting, so there's usually a new tap to explore.
What really ties the whole experience together, though, is the staff. They're genuinely fun and helpful, always ready with a recommendation or a quick chat. It creates this really welcoming vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay a while.
So, if you find yourself near Edina and in need of good food, great beer, and a relaxed atmosphere, do yourself a favor and seek out Wooden Hill Brewing. It's a fantastic spot that delivers on all fronts.

Excellent food, but the beer choices are incredible! I tried several of them, and every single one was a win to me! You won’t be let down! The mango and the blackberry were two of my favorites!

5 stars for the beer and 3 stars for the food. Overall rating is weighted for the beer since it is a brewery. Plenty of space for seating and the employees seem friendly.

Modist Brewing Co.

Me and my best friend stopped by about an hour and a half before they closed and they were basically empty apart from like 3 women at the bar that moved to the patio and two people that stopped in to pick up cans to go. They don’t serve food here but their selection of beers and THC drinks makes up for it completely. The space is giant and I was so happy to see they have so many events they put on throughout the month. Before we left we stopped by the bathroom and noticed they have a Photo Booth and immediately we beyond excited, this is such a cute and smart way to show off their brand and makes people have such a great and lasting memory of this brewery! I loved it and will be returning soon to hangout on their spacious patio and those pinball machines!

Really cool and lively place. Nice selection of beers on tap, they even had one with side pull and one cask. NEIPA apparantly was the main style for them as i understood. Tried four beers here. A pilsner, impy stout, and two neipas. Double Ghost Vision: Citra Nectaron was really nice.

I LOVE Modist. I'll preface this review by saying that... As a wedding photographer, this was a BLAST. It's really fun to shoot in a bit unconventional locations and it was just so fun photographing here. The surrounding district is like a playground for a photographer and the staff at Modist are amazing. Would recommend!

This place was busy, they had a DJ and there was a great atmosphere. I decided to try the 2 BA stouts, on the pricey side at $9 ea for 4oz. Unfortunately, they didn't have any BA flavor profile, it's sad because I didn't even drank half of them..

We are in town for the weekend at mall of America and wanted to try some local crafts. The beer did not disappoint. We tried the pickle beer, hazy ipa and double hazy.  Patio looks amazing for summertime. Love that it’s dog and kid friendly.  Only downside is it was a hassle to find parking!

First brewery we stopped at in Minneapolis. The environment is fantastic, ample indoor and outdoor seating. Ordered up a flight of beers, which were all good quality. Metro train stop right outside, which makes it easy to get where you are going. One of the best breweries in Minneapolis.

Wild Mind Ales

places/ChIJG1dpmmsm9ocRkUZmsnQq_ZI/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VPV2p1TEhobmJyN3ZnRRAB

Have been several times as it is a short drive from my house. They do some wonderful brews. I especially like their various Kolsch and Helles offerings. Yesterday, I had a very interesting "Black Bier" (Immortal Masters), described as "A cross between an Irish Stout and Schwarzbier." Made with a mish-mash of Oats, barley, English hops and a Kolsch yeast. Its the combo of the English hops and Kolsch yeast that intrigued me. It was pretty incredible. Lovely maltiness, decent body, and a refreshing dryness from the Kolsch yeast. Quite a unique, and very delicious brew. They always have an interesting food truck. There is nothing fancy about the surroundings. It's the beer that matters here, and they do a good job!

Wild Minds is a great community gathering spot, featuring bold brews to delicious coffee. It’s kind of a hidden little gem in this part of the city, as there aren’t really any craft breweries around the area. My family and friends have loved this place since its opening, and can’t recommend it enough.

places/ChIJG1dpmmsm9ocRkUZmsnQq_ZI/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNGak5HNXpnRRAB

I visited here for the first time and thought their hazy IPAs were outstanding.  The inside is pretty basic with benches and a long, clean counter where the taps are.  Outside there was a food truck with pizza I think.  I would visit again but would like to see them offer a beer flight option (but they do offer smaller 8oz pours).

A fun and vibrant brewery. Their lineup was incredibly solid, and they even had some unique pours. I’d strongly suggest getting a Mlíko or the ‘slow’ pour.

I really liked the tap room, very spacious! We also had a great tour of the brewery itself. They had some good beers and even ciders. I loved the vibe in the taproom and excited to taste their upcoming sour beers!
Be careful of parking one of the other local businesses was towing patrons that parked in front of their business! Wild minds has a very small parking lot. Be careful where you park!

Really great space and beer! This is a go-to for me when meeting up with friends. I've tried several of their beers and all have been tasty. I had their seasonal Shamrock Shake most recently and that was super delicious. Plus the layout of the brewery has a nice flow and the space is comfortable with good lighting. Their lot provides easy and convenient parking too. Great brewery!

My boyfriend and I are very frequent brewery-goers and we have somehow turned into semi-beer-snobs so we tend to ask questions. Our dog also has grown to expect treats every time we go to a brewery. Kai gave us in-depth detail about every beer we asked about, his personal recommendations, gave us samples, gave our dog some treats, and completely made our experience here. We love our beers, our dog loves her treats, and we are all leaving home over the moon!

It was all right. Average craft beer, decent food truck. The place was empty, with the Twins game having just started a couple blocks away, but was surprised there was no one there. Standard offering of craft beer styles. Lot of breweries in a small footprint.
