Wild Mind Ales

Was visiting from out of town and saw a large crowd there! The blonde was very good, but to my surprise they are closing tomorrow!? Unfortunate timing and hope the best. Nice vibes

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!

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). August 2024: great outdoor venue and craft sale

I love Wild Minds. Can’t say enough about how much I love this space, the vibe, the staff. They always have something new on their tap list. I’ve had some really good IPA’s and sours there. I can sit there for hours with family and friends. It’s a neighborhood gem. Good food truck options. Oh and the morning Wild Grinds coffee bar is also amazing!

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!

The beer selection is eclectic and is somewhat limited if you don't like IPAs or sour beers. Beer is somewhat average for a microbrewery. Prices are in line with what you'd expect for a city brewery that has high ABV beers (a buck or two more than lower ABV beers). There is a large outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Parking is only on street and can be a real challenge, although if you find a spot, it is free.

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.

I love this brewery and I'm very sad to see it's closing soon. I've had a lot of good memories here and enjoyed the creative beers and comforting space. Best of luck to the owners and staff in their future endeavors.

At long last I got to try Wild Mind Ales out of Minneapolis and it was a very good experience. Steve and I had the Sunken Cathedral which is a smoothie type sour. All sorts of flavors to look for with this beer as it is very complex. Look for flavor features like Blackberry, Lime, Marshmallow and tartness. The beer is fairly sweet but it has enough of a sour feature in the flavor profile to cause a puckering effect.

Wild Mind Ales is a fun place to go -- tucked away in an industrial corner of south Minneapolis. The selection of brews is impressive, and everything we tried was so good! Lots of friendly people, and dogs and kids and board games, and room inside and outside at larger, community tables. (This is great because you can make friends!!) The outdoor area is large and welcoming (although, there seems to be an unused food truck and a tree that need's replacing -- only mentioned here because the place is so fun, these minor clean-ups would make it even better!). It's a good place for a good time. Hoping to take neighbors next week!

The taps weren't working and they couldn't get someone out because of the holiday weekend. That was ok because they had local beers in cans and were nice and put them in mugs for us. I asked for a beer close to water and she recommended a really good one. Not sure what my husband had. The Timberwolves and Mavericks were playing and sadly the fire pits weren't lit because of the rain from earlier. It was a really nice place and we enjoyed ourselves after our long flight from Texas.

When we walked in it was busy but we were helped fairly quickly and the bar tenders were efficient. It was clean and there is space to sit inside or out. It was a fairly young crowd with people doing a variety of things playing games, chatting, working on computers. There were quite a few dogs with their owners in the patio area enjoying the nice weather. The beer was good and if you don't want beer there is also a coffee shop right beside the bar area. They also had a food truck.

Went there with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon, the place was busy but didn't fill overwhelming. The beer was very good I had a Winter's Edge and Every Tradition.

Walking up to the opened garage doors and under the string lighting sets a great mood. The patio is a grass lawn with comfortable seating and various picnic style communal tables as well. The bartenders are accommodating because wild minds does some Atypical styles of beer. The colorful space is airy and inviting. The styles are unique and delicious so this is a must stop for the brewcurious

We have been wanting to check this brewery out for years, and it finally happened. We love sour beers, but we were with friends, who don't, and they still had a lot of options for beers that were not sour. Everyone loved their beers. But their patio is what really stood out! It's huge, there aren't a whole lot of breweries with huge patios, and this one had green space and fire pits as well, which explains why it was packed with people. Very family friendly, kids running around everywhere. Beautiful patio lights came on when dusk settled in. One thing I didn't like as they don't do samples or flights. I took off a star for this, because I can only visit so many breweries, when I get to a new one I really want to try a bunch of things. So they could definitely improved by offering flights. But still I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a beer lover!

I loved this brewery. Their beers? On point! Their atmosphere? On point! On site killer coffee spot? Sure does! Charming AF holiday market this past Sunday? You bet! 10/10!

Stopped by @wildmindales to try their IPA side by side, one with @phantasm.nz and one without. The Phantasm took the intensity of the tropical fruits to a whole new level. I feel I have an obligation to try all beers made with this amazing ingredient. Beers tried: Fatal Vision and Fatal Vision: Phantasm (Pictured) - A DIPA with immense tropical fruit flavors (guava, orange, and general citrus) with hop bitterness and fruit pith in flavor. 3 The Hard Way - A Mexican lager with unique corn flavors coming from usage of blue and purple corn. Terror Bird - Fantastic American styled Barleywines that starts off bitter from hop additions but ends with light caramel and toffee sweetness.

Beer was just okay. AC either wasn't working or they don't have it...they had overhead fans but still very warm inside. Great outdoor space to sit when it's not so hot out. They don't have flights but allow you to get half pours. So many breweries in the area - this was just average IMO.

This brewery is not exactly in a great location but they make it work! The are located in the middle of an industrial park, right next to a stone and brick company. Even so, they've created a good space with greenery and lots of outdoor tables. The indoor space is well done too, with huge garage doors that they open, weather permitting. There is a permanent food truck on site. I didn't get a chance to try them, but what I saw folks getting looked amazing. They have a large selection of beers. I had their Kolsch beer (okay, I had two) and it was really well done. Definitely worth a trip!

We used to come here alot and loved the vibe and the beers - especially their sours beers! They have indoor-outdoor seating with open garage doors in the summer. They recently started serving food so we were excited to come here for dinner! My husband got pork tacos and I got a burger. Overall we were unimpressed, unfortunately- my burger was dry and 'meh', my husband's tacos were 'ok'. We'll be back because it's close and great beers--and maybe the food will improve since it's still new!

Fun place to visit with friends and try a new beer, seltzer or coffee! The "bartenders" are super friendly and helpful if you're stuck and don't know what to get. They don't have flights but they do offer half pours, so that is an option if you'd like to try a few of their different drinks. They also have a small menu to order from, we tried the truffle fries which where good. The table next to us had pork nachos which was a healthy portion and looked delicious. There were a few families with smaller kids and they are dog friendly as well. Their outdoor area is large with lots of seating & bonfires

My friends and I frequent Wild Mind for get togethers to grab drinks and catch up on life. We often have dogs in the group and I love how dog-friendly this place is. They have a rotating food truck outside so you can try something new each time you stop by. Also a lot of great rotating beers and hard seltzers. I've really been enjoying their fruit flavored seltzers! Now that it's getting warm, I'm excited to get back and sit outside!

I visited Wild Mind during a trip to Minneapolis for a conference. I was looking for a cool local brewery to try and I love "funky" beers so once I heard about wild mind I knew I had to try it! It's a great brewery, they have a nice, laid back outdoor area with a cool vibe. And their beer, if you like funk, this is the place for you. Sooo good! I tried the jet ski reservations and the spontane and really liked them both! I found out you can buy some of their beers in Philly which is super exciting. Def recommend this place!

I've been wanting to check out this spot for a while and I'm glad I did! Cute place - open air with a cute courtyard for dogs and kids to play. Lots of sours on tap as well as other brews. They had food available to order as well. Cute place and great service. Cheers!

Great selection of beers to choose from, especially if you are an IPA fan. They had five different ones, and the two that I tried were amazing. The ambience is nice as there is a small tap room that opens up to a courtyard with plenty of seating. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was very nice to have the breeze blowing in and getting some fresh air along with my beer. We got hungry so we decided to order the chicken tinga tacos. They were very good and are made with corn tortillas, which is what took these to the next level. Between their great beer, good food, and nice indoor and outdoor areas, it has become one of my favorite breweries in the cities!

Cute spot tucked away in an industrial type part of town. Parking was hard but I also blame the snow for that. Inside is cute but be warned...very small. The patio looks awesome so I'll have to try this place again in the summer. I got the Caked Up drink and that was super good. I'm a huge sour girl and this one didn't disappoint! It wasn't too sweet or thick. Overall, great spot! I look forward to coming back once the weather warms up a bit.

Stopped by to use our sidewalk pass on a rainy Sunday. Inside space is very cute with one large projection screen that was showing the Twins. There's also coffee available along with a menu of tacos and other snacks. Very kid and dog friendly. Plenty of street parking.

This place has been on my list since before we moved to Minnesota. I'm glad I finally got to go. It's dog-friendly inside and outside, so that was a huge plus. It was great to bring our puppy to socialize and meet new people and other dogs. I feel like we enjoyed every beer we ordered. We also bought a few bottles and crowlers to take home. The only downside is that there aren't taster size / flights on the menu. It's good motivation to keep coming back to try more beers. I'm not sure if they still do food or not, but we had brought in takeout and it wasn't an issue.

Wild Mind Ales has some excellent food items lately. Their Bahn Mi is an interesting take on the Vietnamese sandwich, but very good. I also tried the Polenta and Beef, very creamy. And of course some beer-to-go, which was excellent. One hiccup with the curbside though. When ordering online they say call when you arrive, however the number goes to an automated message. The actual curbside sign says text when you arrive, however there was no response and no food coming out. I had to go inside to pickup my order, which defeats having a COVID friendly service. I would like to say the staff made up for this mishap by throwing in an extra Crowler, this was excellent customer service!!

In Minneapolis for business and a colleague and I chose Wild Mind Ales to stop by for a few drinks. I've been a craft beer/brewery frequenter for years and this is exactly the type of experience that inspires me to continue visiting! It's a large area with a great outdoor space and a dedicated food truck stationed outside. Lots of space to sit with large tables and long benches, garage doors that open for good weather, and great decor. But how much does that matter? It's the BEER and the SERVICE that really got me here! We wanted to try a tasting, but were told that they didn't do tastings - instead we were suggested to do half pours. Our half pours - aka 80% pours - were fantastic. Not only was the beer delicious, but we had great conversations with the staff every time we walked up to order. In the short time we were there, there were multiple raffles and people coming in with food and all the while, having a great time. I've already told several of my Chicago friends about this spot and can't wait to return. The glassware and branding were spot-on and I may just have to bring home a few items next stop!

Good beer and a fun atmosphere. They do have food but we did not order any. Only downside was there is not a lot of indoor seating.

Wow. I am not fortunate enough to have visited this location, but I MUST tell you how incredible their smoothie sour can tasted from total wine! I took a chance and grabbed a four pack of bookmobile smoothie sour 4-pack... 100/10! So delicious!

Pretty sure this place has my new favorite hazy IPA! And maybe one of my new favorite breweries? Such a cute setting, lots of space and places to sit, an actual patch of green grass, and a food truck. In kind of a weird and random location but worth the visit!

I am almost to 140 MN brewery tap rooms visited. When you get to this point people love to ask what your favorite brewery is in Minnesota. This is always a struggle, and I always list of 4-5 breweries I just truly enjoy. Wild Mind is always on that list. They are known for specializing in creating wild ales and really fantastic barrel-aged ales that are more on the non-traditional side. These brews are so flavorful, and sometimes just unique. When someone visits from out of town I recommend they stop in at Wild Minds for a special experience. The tap room is bright and colorful with beer hall through out as well as long connected high-tops on the other side. They have several bar seats as well. They have two large tap lists posted in the taproom that are listed by name and color for ordering and the board has descriptions of flavors you should expect from each beer. This tasting room is dog friendly, child friendly, has a big screen for games, and usually a food truck parked outside. I love going into this brewery and finding something fun and funky every time I come in. I loved the beers from IPA's, Cider ales, wine hybrids, wild ales, and some really solid saisons. I also once had the most amazing beer that tasted like chocolate covered strawberries but, I'm totally blanking on the name. It was something with machine in it. Oh beets by Dwight was super fun and tasty too. I can't sit here and list all the beers I've had in the past few years but, I can say go and try it out for yourself. Have an open mind and be ready for your tongue to enjoy the ride. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and make your experience fun. I rarely leave without a bottle or crowler to go. Enjoy!

Met friends here for a birthday gathering. I feel like I do not have the credentials to properly review as I am not huge on beer, and this is in fact a brewery. But a few things I did really appreciate: They had a great outdoor space to pull up chairs and hang. They had non alcoholic options as well. They had sour beer based slushies - peach and a berry one that were both delicious and different. Also they had a great playlist going. I recommend checking this out!

An out-of-the way spot but nice selection of beverages & carry-out crawlers! The patio was in full sun (so quite warm even w/ umbrellas) in the afternoon so we sat inside. Parking would be an issue when they are busy. They did have live music but he was packing up when we arrived. They also offer coffee but not in the afternoon...

Visited Wild Mind Artisan Ales on a cold Thursday evening! Parking was a bit of a pain in the ass - as there was a good bit of construction going on out front. The place was packed! I sidled up to the bar - and attempted to order - which is a bit difficult - because the list of beers is placed next to the bar - on a wall that sticks out past the bar off to the side. Would be a hell of a lot easier if the list was on the wall behind the bar. The other thing I will ding Wild Mind on - is they don't offer tasting flights. I was super excited to find a craft brewery doing mostly ales with wild yeast! I wanted to taste everything! So, I ended up ordering four glasses (4 - 8 oz pours). Everything was frickin amazing! The wild ales/sour ales - all were outstanding! I ordered the following ales: Fragaria Hibiscus American Wild Ale (7.2% ABV) (5 stars on Untappd) Radical Fashion Sour IPA (6.2% ABV) (5 stars on Untappd) Le Reine American Wild Ale (7.8% ABV) (4.25 stars on Untappd) Foret de Peche American Wild Ale (6.8% ABV) (5 stars on Untappd) Everything was amazing! Delicious and complex was the name of the game with each sour I tasted! Man O' Man! I wish Wild Mind was here in Virginia! Wild Mind has catapulted itself into my personal list of Top 10 best craft breweries in North America! The young lady pouring my ales was very nice! Fantastic craft brewery! #WildMindArtisanAles

Awesome spot to hang out!! Tables are spaced out and perfect for social distancing. I came here on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy lunch and the nice weather. Super cool and fun spot with coffee, beer, and food! I didn't try the beer this time, but the food was so good! We had the Korean tofu bowl and bbq bowl. Both were solid picks and I really enjoyed the tofu from the tofu bowl, super crispy and saucy! What more can you ask for? I would definitely come back and try the beer next!

Discovered this place after I moved up to the Twin Cities last winter and it wound up being the closest brewery to my home. Easy bike ride over and they have a rack. Good variety of beers and they come out with new beers on a regular basis. They also have a coffee shop so during the morning people can stop by for the other kind of brewed beverage. Looking forward to bringing my family here when they visit.

Perfect spot for sipping some tasty bevs outdoors. Loved the Adirondack chairs on the grassy lawn, but also plenty of picnic tables as well. Colorful, fun, relaxed vibe, and the beer was refreshing to boot!

Wild Mind is definitely one of the more unique breweries in the Cities. They don't have many, if any, peers in town foeder aging, coolship brewing and barrel aging as much as they are. As a result, they have one of the more unique taplists around town. The taplist is ever-changing and generally stacked with sours and wild ales. You can always count on an IPA or two, as well as a couple of other barrel aged beers (stouts, etc.). Even though the list always changes, they more than often connect on a solid beer than they miss. I joined their Forgotten Barrel Society for a year, which is essentially a prepaid bottle program with a few other perks. I haven't been too impressed with the bottles I've opened thus far, though other than some latent fermentation issues, none of them have been bad either. Overall, I didn't find it of much value, but I certainly wouldn't fault those that join to support their local brewery. Service has generally been friendly enough, a food truck is usually on site most evenings and the patio adds a lot more room to stretch your legs in summer when the taproom is full/too hot. Overall, Wild Mind is definitely doing it's own thing and it does it pretty well.

This is a great artsy spot in Minneapolis, tucked in from the sidewalk with a great little grassy area to lay in and enjoy a beer! No dogs are allowed on the grass, understandable when the grass area is limited and you want a safe place to lay in with out risk of a mess. We sat just outside of the grassy area with our pup in the shade of the umbrella picnic tables. It's a west facing patio area so it gets REALLY sunny! There was a good selection of sours and ales. I was most drawn to the art. I wish I'd come one day later when they were releasing their glasses with the art printed on them, Darn it!! Next time!

My wife and I were going out to lunch with the in-laws, so we got the picnic lunch from the best BBQ in the the Twin Cities, QFanatic, right around the corner from Wild Mind. They have a bunch of construction going on in front of the brewery, but if you can make it through there, they have an awesome open front to enjoy a perfect day and I think they had 5 IPAs on tap, along with probably 7 other taps. Great beer and the service was was awesome and for $5 for a standard beer, not too bad. Get some BBQ and come on over here for great beer for a great Saturday lunch.

Very cool atmosphere with large windows. It will be great to go during the summer as well

This is rapidly becoming one of our favorite spots to grab a beer in the Twin Cities. The beers here are delicious, well-brewed, flavorful, super clear, and did I say delicious? Oh wait, I did. My favorite is Pash Bash, which is passion fruit. They also get bonus points for fun and creative names. The taproom itself is fun -- a little on the industrial side with those garage style doors that they can open up on nice days. It's dog-friendly and you can kind of spill out onto the lawn on nice days. Parking can be tough. There is a very tiny lot in front of the brewery and then it's street parking from there. A tip for beginners (and something I seriously did not realize until like my third visit): The colors on the menu board correspond with the bright colorful stripes painted on the wall behind the bar. That's how they know which tap is which beer. Ah ha! Genius.

It took me a couple of visits to Wild Mind before I was able to warm up to its charm. I liked the aesthetics off the bat; colorful walls, colorful design, even color coordinated beer menu and taps. The taproom has really happy and positive vibes. The inside is fairly small and can get packed easily but it is comfortable, with wooden community tables and a few high tops as well as one of the cutest patios around. Upon the first visit I straight up did not like the beer selection I tried. Unfortunately, Wild Mind doesn't do flights which is my absolute go to when visiting a new brewery. However, they do offer half pours which isn't the worst deal and bartenders will also gladly give out samples but I didn't want to be that person who asks for 5 samples so I went with something I didn't end up enjoying and that was that. Things have completely turned around since then. I have found multiple delicious offerings that I loved. One of their limited releases was the Beets by Dwight - a beet saison that was great! Their tap list is constantly rotating so there's always something new and fun to try and if anything it will make you adventurous. Recently I attended their Festival of Oak and tried about 5 different brews and loved all of them. They do have some more standard beers but even those I'd say are more elevated in flavor and coolness. I love the fact that most days they have a food truck on site since there's no kitchen. I'm a fan of munching on a little something while drinking and the variety of the food trucks here is always amazing. After your visit you can grab a little something to go from their cute little tiny merch room. I'd say I definitely understand the hype now that I've found things that I really enjoy and I'm going to keep searching for more. The cozy patio will be hard to resist in the summer time and if there's a food truck I want to try, I will most likely be the first in line.

I actually went for coffee at Wild Grind, the caffeinated sibling of Wild Mind. I recommend trying the flight of coffee they are currently creating. Fantastic!

This is definitely a family-friendly, dog-friendly place. If you want to chill with your date, family and/or friends on the lawn, this is the place to come to! They have an outdoor seating and indoor seating area with music ranging from punk to oldies to alternative. It was pretty chill on a Sunday afternoon but we found out they had their three-year anniversary the day before which probably brought in a bigger crowd. The servers were just that, they served beer. They weren't friendly, but they did their job. There's rules on the wall on how to get your beer which took me a minute to notice so I just stood there at the bar waiting to be served. Once I went to the end of the bar, the guy who was literally right in front of me came down to the end and helped me. They mostly have sour beers, IPAs and a few ciders on tap which is great for my light beer drinking friends. But thankfully they had a couple dark beers that satisfied my thirst!

My friend sent me pictures of their beer list prior to me visiting and I was constantly intrigued. One that caught my eye was pizza science, unfortunately when I went they didn't have it, so I must return! I love how simple everything looks here. Also it's dog friendly, how great is that?! They don't have the names of the beers above the handles, since they're constantly rotating them. The workers are super friendly and let you try a few before you make your decision, which I was extremely appreciative of since it was my first time there.

I really like Wild Mind's beer! They have some unique, interesting beer styles and flavors. Everyone who works here is super nice too. They recently started making their own food on the weekends and it's SO TASTY. Plus they now have Wild Grind serving coffee in the morning as well (see my separate Wild Grind review). I am happy to support this lovely business. Their beer styles are pretty varied. As their name implies, they do have a few wild fermented beers available at any given time, which typically end up on the sour side. They also have some hoppier options for the IPA fans out there. I have been impressed by many of their imperial and barrel-aged offerings which have not been overly sweet (although a few of have quite sugary). I love their takes on more traditional styles and how experimental some things are. I don't always love every beer I've had here but I appreciate how unique the flavors are. Their food is so good too! They rotate their menu weekly but have a few standard things. They had some gnocchi dishes for a few weeks that were AMAZING. We have also tried their mac and cheese, charcuterie board, goat cheese stuffed dates, and salads which were all ridiculously tasty. I have yet to have a bad dish here. It says their kitchen is temporarily closed so I can't wait until it reopens. They have a decent-sized patio/courtyard with benches, seats, and some grassy areas to sit. Inside also has a number of tables, but overall it is not a ton of seating. Be prepared to scramble for seating if it's really busy. So, the biggest downside of this place is how crowded it gets. They have some designated curbside spots if you're picking up but basically no parking. You have to find street parking and during busy times it's a huge struggle. It also is hard to social distance in when it's busy. They used to take reservations online for tables and have someone taking reservations on the sidewalk but now it's pretty much a free-for-all. Last time we went you had to wait in a long, crowded line to get to the counter to get a table. Once we realized this we turned around and left. It's really a shame that they have abandoned their previous system even though COVID-19 is still rampant. I'm glad they are getting plenty of business but right now I don't feel comfortable trying to visit on a weekend. That being said, if those things don't bother you or you want to get it to-go, they have some great food and beer. Their outside space is dog-friendly too if you bring your furry friend. Overall they do have great food and beer, so I highly encourage people to support this wonderful brewery.

This brewery is literally right next to our dog's daycare. So of course we try it out when we get them after work sometimes! It is dog friendly, which is great, although they aren't allowed on the large, central grass area, which is kind of annoying. There are always tons of kids playing bags. They have such a great sour selection. They have ciders, IPAs, and stouts too, but they seem to specialize in sours, which we love. Some monster sours too!

How did I not discover this a long time ago? I love the vibe, love the outdoor area with the hanging lights and the food truck. I like the live music. I also like the beer selection. I wish the layout of the seating was better. This place is fun when everyone brings heir dogs. How's parking? You have to find parking in the street. Only feedback on the packed layout inside: There's a giant metal high top seating that I think takes up a lot of space. It has a cool LED light in the middle of it but it's so big that on a busy Friday night more people can fit if the space is utilize better.

I have been here easily 20 times and it has never disappointed. The establishment is clean and has a really urban feel without being "too cool" if ya know what I mean. This place is super family friendly, too. Babies and kids all the time which is awesome! Because parents like to have fun, too. It's also family friendly for dog owners! Even better, they have very clear rules set up regarding dogs. Only being your dog if he/she can respect other human being space and other dogs space. No jumping or barking. Really, please be respectful of that! It's frustrating when you're having a beer and the neighbor's dog is sniffing your crotch. The beer is always great and rotating without an overwhelming amount to chose from. They also have kombucha and local soda for the non drinkers. Lastly, they always feature a food truck which is great! We keep coming back and will continue to keep coming back. Cheers! Here is my one qualm. The lights in the bathroom go off. They have gone off on me twice- once while I was changing my little's diaper. So you may want a buddy system so you aren't left in the dark!

Popped in here while visiting Minneapolis. We all grabbed beers and an order of the wings. The wings were stellar. A nice Smokey flavor but even better drummette/wing style where both are connected so they were a nice size. There's a really unique color system for drink, staff was friendly, sanitary measure in place, and a place to hang outside if you want to as well. Definitely recommend!

This was a pretty good brewery - you definitely wouldn't know it was here if you didn't have the address! Be warned puppy-brewery hoppers, this place has stricter rules on dogs: they are not allowed on the grass, and must relieve themselves at the dog relief stations. However, I have no idea where these dog relief stations are. The beer I got was the Schrodingers Cat. It was on the sweeter side, with a tart pomegranate taste. But overall good! It has both indoor and outdoor seating. But can get very hot towards the end of the day as it is directly in the sun.

Wild Mind Artisan Ales was the perfect place to go last night in the midst of this crazy-spring-winter-storm! It looks unassuming from the outside, but boy does this place have charm. I can't wait to come here in the summer when the patio's open! The inside of this brewery is lovely. I love the vibrant colors and the set up. There's plenty of room to bring your friends and puppies alike! They have quite the beer selection too, and as someone who's not a big beer person, even I was excited to try them. I got the "Jet Puffed" and the "Mushy." They were both phenomenal. The "Mushy" is hands down one of my favorite local beers now, and I will certainly be back to get a growler of it. The mango taste comes through in the beer, and it's such a refreshing breath of fresh air. This place is a space for everyone. There is a GIANT projector screen for sports fans. They also have an impressive variety of classic board games you can rent with your ID for groups of friends who come here. & if you're a puppy lover, you will not be disappointed. We saw a husky/German Shepard mix and a toy Australian Shepard all in one night. I was in doggy central, and they were half the reason I stayed til' close. An intense game of uno and the "Mushy" beer may have also had something to do with that. I have a feeling this will quickly become one of my personal local "hot spots" in the Twin Cities! The staff go above and beyond, and it's such a fun environment! It was the best place to hide out from the blizzard. Note: They do not serve flights, but they do accommodate by pouring 1/2 glasses if you don't want a full one, so don't fret!

Been here a few times. Always something good, always something new to try. I like the fruity, sour brews and there are have always been a few to try as well as a cider or two. Set up is pretty typical of your local Twin Cities brewery. Communal tables inside, plenty of spots out as well. When weather permits they roll open the huge doors and makes it seem larger than it is. Expect it to be busy. Expect it to be loud. Expect there to be several kiddos and doggies all around. Bathrooms have always been neat and tidy. Pizza Luce in Richfield will deliver you a pizza. Parking can be a bit tricky but other than that I suggest you check them out!
