Nine Mile Brewery

 

 

Located as the corner bay in a strip industrial building. Parking is shared with the other tenants. Rather spacious with a short bar and many other tables and seating options. String lighting above but still kind of dark inside. Some patio space available outside. Has a mixture of decors with black colors and finished wood. Good selection of beer styles, with quite frequent new releases. Beers are solid but not exceptional, but then again quite enjoyable. Staff is professional and helpful. Food trucks for grub. Touted as the first brewery and taproom in Bloomington MN.

I appreciated this place. Comfortable atmosphere. We sat outside and for afternoon it was all in the shade. Had 2 beers that were quite solid. Not out of the park but enjoyable. Wide selection of beers and styles. A bit of a neighborhood feel with a few families and multi generations in attendance, even though not in a neighborhood area.
But my friend and I agreed we would meet here again.

Industrial park taproom which we have seen a thousand times before. Confusing interior that is a combination of industrial, northwood cabin, and sci-fi geekdom. But it is well spaced out, clean, with a view of the brewery. For some reason the windows are tinted dark and combined with the soft lighting, it feels dusk despite it being two in the afternoon. Combined with the thermostat set to 65F, I just wanted to curl up under a blanket and go to sleep. Nice selection of different style of beers as they did not jump in completely on the IPA train. Me and my buddy both enjoyed the different beers we had. No food but food trucks are frequent. If in the area I would much prefer to come here than the others in the vicinity.
