I ordered an apricot beer, which was good. My husband liked the IPA he ordered as well. Our server was very friendly. The decor and music gives a fun vibe. We were there early in the day so there were only a few people. I imagine it’s be really fun with a crowd and open garage doors.

Order beer from the bar then take back to your seat. The couple of sours they have were delicious! Pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza was also surprisingly delicious for a bar! Very pleasantly surprised. Fish fry had good portions too.

We had a marvelous time with a wine tasting and some deli goodies to spend the better part of a snowy afternoon in a cozy spot. Always worth the trip, this place just gets better and better.

A friend and I came here to try out the winery - little did we know it's also attached to an apple orchard and there is a ton to do! With COVID, we had a wine tasting outside. The tastings were generous portions - we shared one white and one red. All of the wine was good! We will be back to get bottles. The winery is inside of a barn and has a very charming rustic feel. The apple barn part is awesome too - picked up apple brats, apples, candles and wax warmers. Very cute gift shop and place. Can't wait to come back!

WineHaven is a beautiful, family-run, affordable winery. I've had a hard time finding a good winery to go to in Minnesota, and this one is such a gem. Even though it is located off the highway (making it very easy to access), you can't even tell. It seems like the vineyard goes on for miles – and the vines hide the highway. The only thing you can see from the winery is the beautiful lake! The customer service is also incredible. My friends and I got there at 6 pm, even though the winery closes at 7 pm, and the staff let us stick around for an hour and a half after closing to be sure we were all good to drive. I felt very valued as a customer. You can tell they truly care about each and every guest to their winery. There is lots of variety in their wines as well, and they were all really good!

Minneapolis' first taproom brewery just across the street from Target Field. Easily accessible by LRT and bus. Now you can pair your favorite Fulton beers with food from our Taproom Kitchen.
Reviewed By gkolanchick - Kittery Point, United States
Always like to try the local brews when in a new city and Minneapolis certainly has lots of options in that department. Fulton has been around the longest and deserves its reputation. One block walk from Minneapolis Hotel to Government Center and a 1$ senior ticket on the Metro to Target Stadium followed by a one block walk straight down the hill and you’re there. Ticket is good for 2 1/2 hrs so we even made the return trip at no extra expense, what’s not to like about that. Indoor and outdoor seating available, friendly welcoming staff, and there’s even an Airstream trailer on premise to fix you some more than passable eats. Started with the dark English lager and accompanied it with a Porchetta sandwich, both excellent. Young cheerful crowd, good music, well tended planters flank the patio, clean throughout including the restrooms. Felt completely safe on the entire foray. I would wonder how crowded it is before and during a baseball game so you might want to check the Twins home game sched before venturing forth, I did. A great cap to a thoroughly enjoyed inaugural trip to the Twin Cities.
9. Summit Brewing Company
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 64 reviews
Way back in 1986, before craft brewing was even cool, Summit Brewing Company Founder and President Mark Stutrud set out in St. Paul, MN, to make craft beers inspired by old-world brewing traditions and ingredients. Over 30 years have passed since he first brewed Extra Pale Ale—our flagship beer—and it’s safe to say he freaking nailed it. Today, Summit Brewing continues to infuse traditional recipes with modern ingredients, crafting high-quality and consistent craft beer. And because we’re independently owned and operated, we get to make craft beer our way. That means relying on natural carbonation, protecting the foam and celebrating the true dance between malts, hops, water and yeast. It means drinking our beer fresh and cold, because warm storage turns good beer to shit. It means never settling for "good enough." And it means protecting the environment, supporting the community and the arts, being kind to animals, and always having one more beer with our friends and family. Skal!
