56 Brewing

 

Nice people run this place. I love the dog friendly (inside and out) atmosphere. It's located in a residential neighborhood.

Location is kinda weird and far from anything else. Also, signage made it hared to spot. Vibe is cool. Nice patio, long tables, easy ordering system. Good quality beers. Friendly helpful service. Good selection with a nice variety. One beer was "on special" for $4 a pint. Fun place.

Not a great location but not as bad as others that I will later review. Industrial like just about every brewery in the TC locale. Have some pinball machines for distractions. No TVs. Usually have a food truck. Nice varied selection of beer that I would think everyone could find something to drink. Service was excellent and friendly. I like the beer here and would recommend.

The new brewery is in an old light industrial site next to a community park. Lots of metal, concrete and wood and there is a food truck parked outside. The brewer caters to the neighborhood and the crowd is usually mixed. The beer is good and the selection has something for every taste.

 

 

 

Clean, new industrial tap room on the northern end of Minneapolis. Ample outdoor seating area with nice views of the Mississippi River. Tried two ipas and both were well above average. This operation is off to a great start.

 

 

 

apparently these guys have just moved into the new location i visited, and it really is a great space, with a big outdoor area in a spot thats not overdeveloped, there are trees and grass around outside, some shade, and lots of room to post up. the inside bar area is a little smaller, with a right angle bar that can maybe seat 15 or so, and some table around as well. there is a lofted area above the bar for events i would imagine, and thats a rad little zone. the brew house area is large and there appears to be plenty of room to expand. they have a dj spinning metal and hardcore records, but that doesnt necessarily seem to fit their vibe, although i dug it. cool art up on the walls, and a relaxed feeling overall. they had maybe ten beers on, the best of which hands down was the walnut joy, seriously amazing, but we also enjoyed their pils and the coffee ipa. i think the beer here is ahead of the curve locally, and ill be back for more. service was very prompt and friendly, and pretty on top of things for being so new. this is a great spot to catch up with an old friend and put back a few pints, they should do well in this spot!
