Award-winning craft brewery with diverse beers, patios, and events


























"Lake Monster’s “Serene” THC beverages, made with seven milligrams of THC, come in flavors of blackberry or tangerine dream. It’s available for onsite consumption or to-go." - Justine Jones, Ryan Meaney

"I found their patio is currently open with tables sometimes placed on existing patios, in parking lots, or on sidewalks; guests are asked to wear masks and all staff will be masked, with precautions in place—check with the restaurant for individual days and hours. Studies suggest lower exposure risk when dining outdoors, but that benefit depends on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines." - Joy Summers

"I expect its patio to open next week; seating will require reservations and be at a diminished capacity, with social distancing enforced. Masks will be required for workers and for Minneapolis diners (but not in St. Paul). Minneapolis has relaxed zoning to let restaurants reclaim outdoor space such as parking lots and valet stands, though Mayor Melvin Carter and the St. Paul city council are still expected to address zoning concerns. This list may change as the date nears; for updates emailminneapolis@eater.com." - Joy Summers

"Offering to-go crowlers sales Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. just off 94 in St. Paul/Midway." - Will Simons

"I attended the Twin Cities Donut Brawl at Lake Monster Brewing Company, a head-to-head throwdown where local doughnut makers competed for best original glazed and show stopper with plenty of beer on hand; participating bakeries included Angel Food Bakery, Daube‘s Bakery, Farmington Bakery (Sweet Kneads Bakery), The Grind, Mojo Monkey Donuts, PJ Murphy’s Bakery, Sleepy V’s, Thirsty Whale Bakery, Valley Pastries, and Wuollet Bakery, and a portion of proceeds goes to children in need at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital." - Matt Gundrum
