Wandering Leaf Brewing Company

Wandering Leaf Brewing is a standout spot. As soon as you walk in, you notice the plants. They’re everywhere, and not just for decoration. The place actually smells like fresh air, like being in a greenhouse or garden. It’s a calming, natural atmosphere you don’t usually find in a brewery. The space is big, with a lot of room to spread out, and it feels open thanks to the three huge garage doors they open up when the weather is nice. They’ve got three pinball machines tucked inside, which adds some fun. The beer lineup is strong. The Pale Ale is clean and well balanced. The Sour is bright and not overpowering. The Seltzer is crisp and really well made. All three are worth ordering. One of the best parts is how dog friendly it is. You can bring your dog inside or hang out on the spacious patio, and both feel equally welcoming. That’s getting harder to find. Overall, this place nails it on atmosphere, drinks, and vibe. Definitely one to come back to.

Great place and it is our first time here. Having an ESB and a festbier — both are wonderful . Size choices are 18oz and 12oz. Service was quick and friendly. The interior is spacious and the outside looks nice too. And the motif is plants, many, many plants. Lovely.

We’ve passed by Wandering Leaf so many times to or from the airport and finally decided to pop in after a hike at Fort Snelling. We were SO impressed. The indoor area is gorgeous, the bathrooms were clean and very accessible for those with kids, and the outdoor patio was very enjoyable on a warm spring day. The beer selection was pretty good! We enjoyed the diversity and the multiple NA options of beer isn’t your thing. Hopefully we will be back again!

4.7 stars feels about right. Loved the bright and green space of this little gem. I tasted two of their brews and both were solid & true to style. Due to the location there isn't a huge or fantastic outdoor space, but there is one and I suspect they will spruce it up with plants when the weather warms up. I will definitely be going back. I know I'd love to hang out here on a cold or gloomy day because of all the plants. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

A great place to drink beer and sketch! Friendly staff and more than enough tables. If you like a refreshing IPA, try their flagship beer; “Convergent Evolution.” It’s better than most hazy IPAs.

Wandering Leaf Brewing was a fun brewery with customers that seemed to really like it. It is a big open space with tons of tables and a LOT of plants with nice light. On my stop they had a fruited sour, west coast IPA, 2 hazy IPAs, American IPA, Blonde ale, Vienna lager, a dill gose, German dark lager, black lager, rye brown, English style porter, and a Czech pils. I tried all their darker styles, all were very good. Service was friendly, music was good, they have pinball, a large patio, and they like dogs. I would stop again.

A very cool brewery space with lots of hanging plants throughout. The vibe is laid back and very welcoming. The brewery has lots of different varieties for each beer drinker. I had the Ancient Armadillo which was very hoppy and pleasantly bitter on the finish. This spot is a must stop!

Great beer, excellent service and a really cool taproom. There is an amazing set of plants in the taproom which gives a really nice feel to the space. There is a large patio, open on hot summer days or that 1st hint of spring. One of my favorite taprooms!

This place had such a cute vibe! My friends and I saw this brewery on social media and wanted to give it a try. We walked in and were a bit confused on where the line to order was and how seating worked since there was no signs to tell us what to do. Then, when we asked if it was open seating, the bartender snarked. Another bartender was rude when my friend wanted to get a flight. So, that threw us off even more. Also, you can bring your own food which is nice. We were trying to have a good night and later they told us to be quiet. Overall, we had a good time, but we will probably not be going back to this place. I only gave it 2 stars because the aesthetic was so beautiful.

Pickles are a girls best friend is my favorite so far. Tried Toxic Positivity as well, but I like the Pickles best so far. The plant decor here is awesome!! Lively on a Tuesday night. A young crowd. We also came on Trivia night - (in a great way!)

Fun cool brewery that kinda has coffee shop vibes. They have a shared parking lot with other local businesses . They are family and dog friendly. They even have a changing station in their bathroom so major props to them! They don't serve food but seems like they have a food truck set up for the evenings and they sell snacks at the front. We were at Costco beforehand so I just picked up a hot dog to bring over. They have a few pin ball machines and board games on a bookshelf in the corner. Beer is good and prices are reasonable. 7 dollars for 18oz and 6 for 12oz. I think it was happy hour when we went because it was a dollar off the 18 and 12 oz. Great place to enjoy a beer and get some work done or to meet up with friends. Overall 4.6/5

Loved the atmosphere with all the plants, was not expecting such a cool space. Great drink options including seasonal ones. Loved their "Halloween" selection and even took some home. There ended up being trivia which was fun to participate in. I had a great time and def would come back. Great service as well.

The ambiance of this brewery is so cool! Everything from the hanging plants to the big mural on the wall creates a vibrant atmosphere--you're truly surrounded by greenery everywhere you turn. The service was friendly, and they let us sample a few options before we picked our favorites. We liked the Patio Ferniture but the Blackberry Twist seemed a little watered down or not as flavorful as I would have thought. The biggest plus: DOG-FRIENDLY INSIDE. We appreciated this so much! It was especially nice because our table was tucked in a corner, which was perfect for our very distracted puppy. The pinball machines seemed to be free while we were there, which was a nice bonus!

I can't say enough good things about Wandering Leaf Brewing! I recently called to inquire about hosting my 30th birthday celebration there, and the person I spoke with (I wish I remembered his name!) was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. I was able to reserve a private room for this past Friday at 6 PM for two hours--at no cost, which was such a pleasant surprise. One of the main reasons I chose Wandering Leaf for my party was their fantastic drink options that cater to everyone: beer, seltzers, THC beverages, NA drinks, and $1 sodas. There was also a food truck on-site and plenty of snacks for purchase inside, which kept everyone happy. Another huge bonus: they allow you to bring your own snacks and treats, like the cupcakes I brought for my guests. This was especially helpful because a few friends had dietary restrictions. The staff were incredible, regularly stopping by to collect empty glasses. I was so impressed to arrive and see the space already set up and clearly marked as reserved--such a thoughtful touch. Whether you're looking for a spot for date night, a friends' night out, or planning an event, I can't recommend Wandering Leaf Brewing enough.

Cool, plant vibe! I had the pickle red chili beer - Loved it haha. The menu had a few unique lights, sours, darks, and thc beverages. There were available seats at 330 on a Saturday. Good patio when it gets nicer! It's in a slightly sketchy strip mall haha, but they've done a nice job with the place. Make your way over here!

Loved the vibe here. Our pub pass brought us here. We were temp fostering a dog and wanted a dog friendly pub and this was the place. The open air brewery that mixes the indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect for a beautiful late summer day. I had an IPA called Patio Furniture. It was cold, hoppy and perfect for summer. The indoors were full of plants. The mural was absolutely beautiful. What a lively, lovely place to sit and hang with friends and family. Staff was helpful in choosing beers. Parking was easy. Great experience.

This place is great! The service was spectacular! The people working look like they actually enjoy their jobs! Super friendly! There is a ton of free parking right in front of this place as it is located in a strip mall. The atmosphere is very "fresh!" Tons of plants everywhere! The beer was pretty tasty! Definitely worth a try this summer! They do have patio seating as well!

Great beer selection and plenty of takeout food nearby so no need for food trucks! We had hazy ipa, porter and fest bier.

Wandering Leaf Brewing is a warm and cozy brewery with many options for beer, THC beverages, as well as NA options like pop, kombucha, and La Croix. There are plants EVERYWHERE and it is great! There is a mix of normal tables and high tops, but it can be a bit tricky to seat a large number of people (we had 11, but made it work by moving tables). There's a shared parking lot and they allow dogs inside, which is nice, especially in the cities!

What a refreshing space - especially on a cold winter day! The greenery all over is beautiful. I generally dislike high-top tables and usually the chairs are awful, but these were pretty nice. I only tried a small beer (Plumberry - more sour/bitter than I expected) but they had some pretty interesting options on tap including one made from beets!

I drove past this place so many times but didn't have time to stop by. Well, I saw someone's post on Instagram and I had to come check out this brewery. They have real plants all over the brewery, hanging down like vines. Very unique and pretty cool. This brewery is big too, lots of tables and chairs. We went to try a couple of flights to taste the beers. Just go up to the bar and order the drinks. Then sit anywhere inside or outside patio. They also allow outside food since they don't serve any. There's always a food truck or restaurant next door.

Wow. What a fun brewery. The whole place is a VIBE. The beers have fun names, they're unique and literally everything we tried was delicious. There's so much seating inside and out, plenty of great photo ops, and separate bathrooms that are so private! I loooooved that they were individual bathrooms, they were super clean and modern and the set up for a diaper change station is something I haven't seen anywhere. My biggest gripe is that they aren't closer to home! We'd be there all the time if we lived closer. This place is amazing, and you definitely need to check them out. I'm so thankful they were a part of our beer passport or we may never have visited.

What a beautiful space! Plants everywhere, comfortable and spacious seating, a nice outdoor area, and it is calm and chill. Not loud and raucous like some microbreweries. Very friendly staff. Super funky and creative beers - with spices, peppers, vegetables (a beet saison???). Fun names, too. I have to say, I prefer beer brewed with just the basics - not a big fan of add-in's so that didn't hit home with me that much.

Wandering Leaf has a gorgeous, plant-filled taproom that is dog friendly and comfortable. The staff are super fun and helpful and the beers are tasty. I've had: -Iced Coffee Queen: light & refreshing with a nice, roasty coffee flavor -Panic! At The Dis-stout: a rich, caramel stout -The Merriest Berry: a light and fruity beer that's more subtly fruity than I was expecting (which isn't a bad thing, since they can tend to get syrupy) -Grandma's Mint Chocolate Chip (sample): this one was okay but I didn't like it enough to get a full sized glass I haven't tried WL's N/A options but saw that they have an N/A beer as well as sodas. They also sell THC gummies and seltzers that I haven't tried yet. Cons: -When it's busy, it's difficult to find a table right away. I assume that will be less so when the weather allows for their large patio to be open! -Why are there no mirrors in the bathrooms?

Truly one of the hidden gems of the twin cities this brewery is decorated with plants and has a great inviting atmosphere it's a great place to hang out with friends while drinking a few pints or two play a quick game of cards. The owners are super friendly and easy to work with if you need to rent space beer is excellent and always changing.

Fun spot to try! Love the greenery, good outdoor + indoor seating. The food truck was a nice option to have.

A beautiful brewery full of greenery. Good selection of beverages. THC beverages to go (5 mg & 10 mg/can). Plenty of parking in a strip mall w/ ALDI (look for the huge sign!). They have an outdoor patio but it's in full sun in the afternoon & it was humid & HOT, so that was a no-go. They also had a food truck but it was one we'd had a negative experience w/ in the past (they were at Venn that day) so that was also a hard pass. You do need to go to the counter to order & pay for your drinks.

This place is dog friendly. Lots of furry friends to greet you. I had the cream ale while I waited for my take out from Soul Lao next door. $7 for one beer sounds about right for a brewery. Great looking place inside with all the live plants everywhere. Oh and the beer was really good.

Love all the plants and greenery in the space. The staff were really friendly and they have a patio on the side of the building to hang. There was a rib-tip truck outside when we were there. We weren't hungry, but I wish we were.

This is such a lovely neighborhood taproom! I really loved the ambiance of the natural light and greenery at this brewery. There is plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. They offer a variety of weekly events that are perfect to keep you entertained. They also have several pinball machines. As for food, they have a schedule of rotating food trucks out on the patio otherwise you can grab some snacks at the register. They have a variety of great quality beers, N/A options and seltzer that rotate regularly. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the options! Incredible staff, great beverages and overall a great spot!

Odd space feels a bit sterile for how much greenery they have going on. Smells really weird too like my friends amateur green house. The chairs feel super cheap and the only solid beer I had was the pils and my group agreed and some thought the pils wasn't very good. Very very nice staff though.

Servers did not know beer IBU's. No samples. Oktoberfest music started with Ballywood music followed by reggae? Really??

Saint Paul has really been needing a microbrewery in Highland/MacGrove area and boy did the team at Wandering Leaf brewing deliver. As you step in the door you will quickly forget that your in a strip mall. The name must come from the owners fondness for plants as is reflected in the lush green decor. The beer is excellent as well. I should have started with a flight to sample more but everything I tasted was well made. I will stop back for a more thorough tasting at a later date but I really want to drop in for one of their many plant related events.

Great selection of beers ..and ever rotating food trucks ..with selection and quality..great service..wonderful ambiance..fresh lots of plants .families ..dogs..nice deck and open wall of windows for outdoor feeling even indoors..convenient to St Paul neighborhoods

This place is so cute! Plenty of parking and I never realized it was here. They had a pickle sour that would be such a good Bloody Mary kind of beverage I think the only thing I would add is heaters on the patio, but that's mostly because their patio is so cute and they have shade covers so if you do want to sit out there be aware of the weather. I would definitely suggest to a friend!

One of the owners is an acquaintance from work, so I thought it only fair to stop by and check out this space during opening weekend! Plenty of lot parking available, as this spot is a welcomed addition to a strip mall! The space itself is quite large and they did a great job making it feel comfy! Loads of plants everywhere, including a living wall! Tables and chairs, as well as couches, give you the opportunity to stay a while and enjoy a game or a bite to eat with your beer! Service was quick and very friendly during our stay! For it being opening weekend, the diversity in beers on tap was better than expected! We tried the Kolsch and the Pineapple Pale Ale. Both were refreshing sips as we played through a round of cribbage! The brewery isn't really in a neighborhood we frequent but I could see us making our way over in this direction every once in a whole to see what's new at the Wandering Leaf!

Just opened on Thursday and I'm here on Saturday!! Nice location, definitely a lot of foot traffic from other shops in the area. Their prices are reasonable and the beer's definitely quench your thirst! I had a flight of 4 beers and the flavors were good. Only food onsite is just snacks, but they did have a food truck outside (Chicago style BBQ!!). Downside: their taproom fills up quick but it may just be because opening weekend. I would love to see an outdoor patio in the summer to enjoy the weather. I will have to come back and try more beers and see how it holds up. Welcome to the MN brewery scene!

Unique beer! I really liked Grandma's Mint Chocolate Chip. The environment was fun and upbeat. The greenery and plants were a very nice touch. They have a variety of boardgames and cards that you can use while there.

First time here after hearing about it on TikTok. First things first, dogs are allowed! You can tell they went for the "plant mom" aesthetic, which gives it a really nice, chill, comfy vibe, perfect for playing games with a few friends or having a nice place to get some work done. I was impressed with the number of beer choices, especially for how new they are. The Gose and Fruited Sour were wonderful. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the seltzer, so my gluten-free husband did not get to partake, but they did have several craft sodas to pick from.

Great vibe. Good beer. Friendly staff. Nice setting. Should have a raised platforms for events. Very spacious. Easy parking

Great new addition to the area! The beers are tasty, staff are lovely, Soul Lao next door is fantastic for takeout, plus they often have a food truck on site. The inside is lush with plants, and when weather is good it's open air to the patio, which is lovely (apart from inconsistent shade).

With a variety of different beers (from light to dark) with fun names, a plethora of plants, lots of space to spread out, a patio, board games; 3 pin ball machines, and it's located next to Soul Lao, this has become my favorite brewery. You could also bring other food, but it's hard to resist Soul Lao plus the beers are good! I didn't try one I didn't like and I tasted several in our group (although the Guava seltzer wasn't my favorite). The staff are also super nice.

Nice afternoon weather, cozy setting = spending time at this brewery. Tucked in behind Sibley Plaza by 7th street, this place surprised me with their indoor and outdoor setting. A food truck compliment the selection of beer and non alcoholic drinks on the menu. Definitely a hidden gem.

I visited the newly opened Wandering Leaf Brewing Co. and was thoroughly impressed. The space is welcoming and covered in plants which brings a sense of brightness in a strip mall location. Beautiful tables and super comfortable seats spread throughout the large and open space. Large garage doors on the side, with plans to have a large patio on the side once Summer officially kicks off. I had a couple of their beers and don't have a negative thing to say about them! Parlay: A Saison brewed in collaboration with Wooden Ship. A pleasant herbal fruitiness that reminds me a lot of a herbal tea that finishes with some spiciness. The finish ends dry, but doesn't dry the mouth as the flavors intermingle on the palate for a while. A great representation of a Saison with this newcomer and the Saison masters at Wooden Ship. JMT: A West Coast IPA that pours a deep dark golden color. Some sweet caramel flavors meld with a grapefruit zest and herbalism. The finish is bitter and makes you want to take another sip. A delicious take on the West Coast IPA style! Congratulations on opening the brewery and can't wait to see what else y'all put out! ______________

This brewery has a lovely vibe, with plants everywhere. Extremely casual and laid back. The beer is great - much better than your average brewery. They also have a pretty wide selection (not just IPA's) plus N/A options so you're sure to find something you can enjoy. Parking is a breeze. Also - the brewery is dog friendly and family friendly, as long as your children are well-behaved and properly parented.

we just recently found out about this place and it's within walking distance, so we wandered over on a Wednesday after work (around 1630). call it, an impromptu date night. we were able to find a table with no issue. first impression: a LOT of plants. i said, "surely these can't be real?". my wife replied, "i think they are... and don't call me Shirley". she was right about the plants (and the Shirley thing). they really do give the space a nice and open ambiance, which is helpful as the brewery is located in a strip mall. there are large garage doors on the side with windows, letting in plenty of light. we were told an outdoor patio is in the works as well. next up: the beer. we both got the JMT (west coast IPA). i thought it was very good, but would have liked a little more bitterness on the finish. wife liked it as is. $8 for an 18oz pour. food: they have some snacks available, but we did not partake. they also had a food truck (Potter's Pasties), which we thoroughly took advantage of. there will also eventually be a Laotian restaurant next door, but construction is still underway on that. staff: the staff is super friendly, especially Jenna. we talked to her quite a bit, and I think she and my wife may have discussed baby names. (Jenna, if you see this, we'd really love to know what name you went with) overall, we really liked this place, and will definitely be going back! (edited to add beer price)

Beautiful relaxing - Dog friendly brewery. Great beer selection. I highly recommend it!

Great service and they have food trucks on the weekends. Their flights are enjoyable. The atmosphere is pleasant with the greenery and table placement. They also have pinball!!!!

Wandering leaf has a very comfortable, unique atmosphere. The hanging plants add to the experience. Have a nice selection/variety of beer that make it easy to find one you like. The place can be a bit noisy so if you're looking for a quiet place to have a conversation over a beer, take this into consideration.

This area needed a spot like this! I would of been happy with any watering hole but a brewery filled with plants?! I feel spoiled! I loved the space and the vibe was on point. Beers tasted awesome - I liked their saison and their sour, IPAs were super solid as well. It was very busy as it was opening weekend but they were managing well. Three pinball machines were a nice touch as well. Cheers.

Excellent new spot! Big, bright, airy space with a ton of plants--this is going to be a great spot to hang out when winter's getting us down. Great selection of beers and NA options. Would *love* if they could get some high chairs--there were lots of babies being wrangled by parents who I assume all agree. Definitely a spot we'll come back to time and time again!

Excellent new brewery in the neighborhood. Lots of light, lots of plants, great beer! High chairs are a work in progress, but overall a great spot.

Love this place! First of all, all the greenery inside is so pretty. They have a good assortment of beers (the Basic Witch is my favorite) as well as some snacks and a good food truck calendar. My husband and I love that they allow well behaved dogs inside as well. It was a bit chilly to sit outside but the outdoor seating looks really nice as well. AND there's ample amounts of bathrooms (helpful when you're drinking!) and a good merch selection as well. Can't wait to stop in again.

I can say with confidence that these folks know good beer. While the strip mall location made me a bit wary at first, the gorgeous plants throughout the space gives the brewery a surprisingly comfortable and inviting atmosphere and the beer speaks for itself. Staff was friendly and accommodating for a large group - we hosted a bday happy hour here with success.

I stopped here a month or so ago because I saw them pop up in the PubPass app..... and I've since been back 3 times! The staff is friendly and fun to talk to. They'll help you out with any recommendations or questions. The beer is great. They allow pups inside which is always an amazing bonus to breweries. The atmosphere is just fun and refreshing. They have plants all around that really make you feel like you're someplace special. Wandering Leaf has definitely been added to my regular rotation of breweries!

I was the first person to arrive a few months ago, opening day! I stopped back in a few weeks ago... and Wandering Leaf hasn't been able to shake me since... I'm hooked!! I'm not sure what pulls me back more... I think it's equal parts... the delicious beer, the friendly staff, cool tap room and the fact that they open @ 2, so just a bit early so I can beat the after work rush!! In the past two weeks I've been working my way through the tap list, employee assisted as I say I'm not a bitter IPA fan and they have a few on tap so I let Matt and Chris guide me. They suggested I try the JMT but I should pass on the Patio Furniture as that might be the bitter I don't care for. I'll be honest, I trust their knowledge AND I have yet to try a beer "I would not order again" so....maybe against better judgement... I envision seeing a 5oz Patio Furniture pour in front of me this week! That written, last week I tried the Paleontogy Pale Ale, to my surprise I really enjoyed it....so much so.... I think I declared "step aside Super Lao Key we have a new first pour each visit!" My two brewery stances are: I don't like a brewery where I'm pigeon-holed, i.e.: I only drink THIS beer here. The other: no matter how good the beer is, 90% of why I come back is the people behind the beer, or just any staff I encounter. Wandering Leaf heard my battle cry and said: come in, sit down... discuss beer with us... while you taste through the menu. *Read: I've tried all but three taps on the list and didn't just like them, but enjoyed them all that I would order any of them again and the staff? I get there around 2:00 open so maybe a little more relaxed so I've been able to chat up several. Could they be any friendlier?! I love the tap room; it has what I appreciate: lots of big windows for natural light and white bar and table tops to reflect that light!! I do like that they have SO MANY plants too, makes it fun. There are a few garage doors on the east side which I'm hoping to enjoy in the first days of fall that are still a little warm. Wandering Leaf isn't all that far from home so it has easily become my newest go-to. The tap room is so bright, spacious and comfortable, it'd be tough not to enjoy a delicious beer here. Cheers and thanks for a consistently delightful visit each time I come in!!

In a word: outstanding. First, I had two hazy IPAs - a triple and a regular - and both were very good. The staff are efficient. The space is wonderful - I am looking forward to enjoying all the green here in the winter! We sat out on the patio, and the weather, beer, and company were all tip top. Highly recommend.
