Low slung building on a spacious lot with its own parking lot. View of brewing equipment at one corner. Short bar for ordering. Other seating at low and high tables with chairs. Black painted ceiling and a concrete floor. Windows on three sides of the room. Outside patio on one side. Twelve taps with a choice of styles. Cooler has beers to go. Efficient and friendly staff. Located away from the main part of town but still can be a place for events.

Located in an industrial park, this is a very dog friendly business. Beer selection is good, flights are tasty. Service is good, friendly and both indoor and outdoor seating, they host quite a few festivals.

First time at LTS. They have a decent amount of seating. They have a large outdoor seating area. Nice bar sitting. They have 12 taps, one nitro. They make soda for the kids. Nice place to go in Rochester. Just having one beer here and it's delicious.

Brewery/taproom located in an old commercial building (plumber shop previously?) in a industrial park like area of west Rochester. Not the greatest location but easy to get to and not hidden. Large, paved parking lot with a patio adjacent to the lot. Inside it is a bit austere with not a lot going on. An attractive young woman serving who was friendly but not the most engaging. Wide selection of beer styles available during my visit ranging from an Alt, to Irish Red, oatmeal stout, to several Belgian styles. I was not expecting much, but ended up being very impressed with the quality of the beers. Everything I tried, I enjoyed. They have been open just over 6 months and I was told the brewer only had homebrewing experience, so I am doubly impressed. The beer is much better than several newer breweries in the Twin Cities metro. Also 5 or 6 house crafted sodas available. I sampled the root beer, it was good but lacked that sharp bite I like in my root beer. But it was not horribly sweet either so that was good.
