Tilion Brewing Company

Brick exterior with a white wall interior. Charcoal corrugated steel ceiling. Big windows at the front and at the wider back area. Back view of the falls of the Cannon River. U-shaped laquerd wood bar. Community tables in the back section and next to the brewing equipment. Street parking and a lot across the street. Ten taps offer a good variety of styles; beer is offered and prices in 5, 8, 12, or 16oz sizes. Offers snacks and Hegges pizza. Cooler has cans to go. Friendly staff. Great view of the river in a small town setting.

Set in a bustling part of downtown Cannon Falls and across the street from the local winery. So parking can be a pain on the weekends. Inside the taproom is rather boring and uninteresting. No character. This is after being open for 14 months. The brewhouse is off to the side separated from the taproom by a half wall. The beer is not great by any means. Fermentation seems clean but something is wrong and I suspect in the mash decoction or in the boil. They also seem to rely on milkshake IPA's and adjunct laden beers that I suspect is used to cover up the flaws. Service during my visit was a bit meh. One was working her ass off while the dude was off jaw-jacking for extended periods of time.
