Located in the heart of downtown Anoka, this is a cute and small brewery to visit. We held book club here and 10K was accommodating to our group. They helped us reserve tables and allowed us to paint as an activity. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I was still able to find several drinks I enjoyed. At the time I visited they didn't have food, but that has since changed. read more

10k brewery does it right! Located in downtown Anoka, this is the perfect spot for a date night or to hang out with friends. Not only do they have a great selection of drinks, they have plenty of gorgeous indoor space and even some outdoor tables to enjoy on good weather days. They have a relatively expansive beer menu but they also include drinks like seltzers which is appreciated. I will definitely be back for some great drinks and fun games with friends! read more

Always a good brew and even better on a night with outside musicians c in the park. The staff is always friendly and the rotation of beers is always a nice addition. The location is in the Anoka Social District which means you can walk around the district with your adult beverage in f you want. The cup is small additional charge. Really like brining some food in and enjoying atmosphere in the bar. If you want, head over to eat at Babes-excellent food. read more

Best beer around!! Bonus that almost all beers are gluten reduced! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great and you can't beat the live music on the weekends. read more

Still love it but music is too loud sometimes. We were talking until we were yelling. It's a relaxing pub not a club.

Seeking to check out more of the Minnesota craft beer scene during my most recent visit, I made my way to 10k Brewing to do just that! STAR #1: Located in the heart of downtown Anoka they are easy to find and offer ample parking, an outdoor patio space, large indoor taproom, and private event space. Whoa! STAR #2: The Piña Colada Sour was FIRE! Tropical, juicy, and just tart enough. I def wish I had some room to bring back a crowler of that delicious brew. STAR #3: A variety of super cute Minnesota inspired art is proudly displayed on the walls. STAR #4: They offer tons of fun merch to the left of the entrance and bar. Swag options include: sweaters, shirts, hats, glasses, and more! So don't forget to grab a little something. When in Minnesota, I'll gladly make my way back to 10k Brewing to check out their latest offerings. Cheers, Anoka! **Pro Tip: Don't forget to follow them on social to stay up to date with all the taproom happenings! read more

We went in on a Friday afternoon. It was friendly and customers were coming in steadily. There were plenty of options for seating and a variety of patrons including a toddler and dog so they are dog and child friendly. The beer was good and there were options to order food to be delivered. This brewery is located in a great area to stop by and have a beer or come in, hang out inside or on the the patio and stay a while. read more

One of our favorite local breweries. This was one of the first breweries we went to when we started getting into craft beers and when breweries started popping up all over. We have enjoyed many beers here. Love the patio, lots of shops and eateries nearby. I especially love how old the building is and how they haven't changed much. I grew up in anoka so the area is familiar and fun to reminisce. Workers are friendly and beer is great. I love the unique flavors. Especially a recent banana one! Please keep up the creative and unique flavors for us flavor snobs ;) read more

Stopped here with a group of friends on a Saturday afternoon. Downtown Anoka was hopping, but there's plenty of nearby parking. The bar was busy, but we were still able to find seating for seven. They have a wide variety of beverage options (beer, n/a beer, seltzer, soda, flights. They regularly host food trucks and bands. There were both kids and dogs in the bar. My IPA was delicious! Staff would wander by occasionally to pick up empty glasses. read more

My friend and I decided to try 10K last night even though we are not big beer drinkers. Wanted to show our support to one of our neighborhood breweries during these hard times. Such a cute place with ample seating inside. Because of the pandemic they have patio seating available now as well. We walked in not knowing what to order. Since they only serve beer we decided to try something light. The bartender was very helpful and suggested couple different beers. We decided to go with Babe the Blueberry OX. To my own surprise I liked it quiet a bit. They have snacks you can purchase if you want a little something to much on. Otherwise there's a few restaurants around there you can order from. All within walking distance. We grabbed our beers, walked next door to grab some food and sat outside to get our Vit D. Great place to hangout with friends and catch up or for a date night. All in all we had a great experience. read more

10K Brewing - a neon sign on a wooden wall - Breweries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

Full disclosure, one of the brewers is a friend of mine and named this beer after me as a bit of a gag- I live three hours away in Fargo and he arranged to send three crowlers for me to try. I'm so glad he did! Tracy's Kurtz (like if you said "carrots" really fast? Get it?) is a lovely friendly brown ale, dark enough to be a nice break from anemic light beers but light enough to be refreshing on a hot day. There is just enough sweetness and spices to be interesting without making a gag-worthy over the top attempt at standing out, which I find is a common downfall of so many craft brewers these days. Give it a try if you get there before it runs out. Thanks for the beers Jake! Keep up the stellar work. read more

Pros: - nice space - lots of "events" - we went for a free comedy showcase (the comedy was bad but that doesn't affect my rating). - They have a pints reward program (if you are inclined to go back) Cons: - the beer was just not good! I tried a flight and while I did pick a couple odd beers (cucumber spud ) even the "basics" like Goldys Ale were bad. So bad, in fact, that my cheap ass left beer in my flight. I just couldn't finish it! - price: $19 for a growler refill seems steep. The 4 taste flight was $9? Pints were $6. - besides the flights, no 1/2 pints to taste. I love taprooms that do this as I don't always want a flight or a full beer (gotta drive, yo). A previous review said the owners were trying to brew beer for people that didn't drink craft beer? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Good beer will bring in beer drinkers and keep out the bros just looking to get drunk. Don't sink to lowest level. read more

By far one of the most lovely breweries we have ventured to. The space is comfy, welcoming and inviting. The beer is actually great with a nice selection of styles. They also have cool swag. The staff is quite friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back! It was a destination for us and it will not be our last visit. read more

Beer was good- got a flight and 2 crowlers to go. However, they overcharged me by at least $10 after I paid and tipped with my credit card. I noticed the error on my bank statement a few days after visiting. I called the brewery to dispute the transaction but they don't answer the phone and don't return phone calls. Had to get my bank involved to get my money back. Pay cash unless you want to be ripped off! read more

I've been to 10K a few times now, and I just don't care for it. It's unfortunate that our last visit was on a Sunday, because apparently they don't tap new kegs until Monday. They run out of some of their beers every weekend, and they are very proud of that! I'm not sure why poor planning is something to be proud of, and he couldn't explain it to me. As you can probably imagine, they run out of the good, popular beers. My favorite was no exception. I was told that the Albino Loon blonde stout tastes just like a dark beer, but it was the hoppiest stout I've ever had. I wouldn't call it a stout, but they do! The bartender told me, "drink it with your eyes closed, and you won't know it's a dark beer!" which makes me think it's been quite some time since he had a real stout. I find the space to be uncomfortable. I prefer to have my own table, but I also don't like sitting at high top tables, so we have sat at a very long table in the middle of the room. Luckily, this time I got a chair at the end instead of sitting on the bench with no back! They did have some fun games which we enjoyed, including a beer trivia! My Milwaukee-born spouse beat me handily, but it was still fun. It was quite busy when we arrived at 3pm, but by 4pm, there was a musician starting. He was pretty good, very mellow, folksy music, but it's just a very small space for any kind of performance. 3 stars for location, gender neutral bathrooms, and their real (dark) stout; minus one star for service, and minus another for small beer selection at the weekend. read more

Awesome brewery setting with great beer options on tap. They are very involved in the Anoka community and are located in historic downtown Anoka. Highly recommend! read more

Welcomed relief after a nice city walk tour rum river regional trail. Covid option are good since the patio is larger but sucks due to the larger crowds outside. We love the patio because it's Minnesota. read more

Nice space with high tops, low tops and picnic tables plus a bar. Bartenders were very friendly. Right in downtown Anoka so you have options for food delivery since there is none onsite. The only reason for dropping a couple of stars was that we didn't like the beer. We tried two, and they both had a funky taste. If we're in the area again, we'll probably give them another try, but just didn't love the first experience. read more

After my less than par experiences at OMNI brewing in Maple Grove, 10k is a winner. IMHO, I think OMNI rushed their opening and in doing so, seemed very unprofessional and lacking in the beer department. Even though 10K has delayed their opening a few times, they did it the right way and delivered not only with friendly service, but very good beer to boot. I'm very excited for these guys and also excited to see how the community responds to it's first local brewery in oomph amount of years... I was a huge fan of the Sweet Vanilla Oatmeal stout. Flights are $8. (They didn't even have flights at OMNI?!) Loved the penny floors in the bathroom and the reclaimed wood/brick walls for the interior. If I had one critique, it'd be the lighting. I'm a big ambiance kind of guy so I like soft white lights, but it seems to have more of a fluorescent/cool white feel. read more

My husband and I have come to 10K brewing twice now, and I have to say I'm quite intrigued! First, a brewery not in NE! And northern suburbs to boot, sure helps those of us who don't want to drive down to the cities for a good beer! Located in Anoka right off Main street, street parking is limited but there is a big parking lot about 300 feet away, and yea, it's free! The space is nice and bright. A long bar with a few bar high tops , and another room with some community seating, a few more tables, bathrooms, and a couple wicked cool looking skull lounger chairs up by the window. Sit at the bar and be mesmerized by their automatic spinning glass washer. Oh yea, dogs are welcome inside too! This is a fairly new brewery so they are still figuring out their production and demand kinks. Our first night there (black Friday) they only had two brews on tap, their Mighty Nice pale and Northern Blonde. The blonde was definitely my fav. The blonde they use honey from their grandparent's farm, the pale, a special variety of hops from a local hop farm, so really cool grassroots kind of stuff. We went back last Saturday for a beer and yoga event (a yoga class in the tap room followed by a free flight) and in addition to the previous 2 beers they had an IPA (version 2) and a hazelnut chocolate porter on tap. The IPA was too bitter for me, unsurprisingly, and while the porter was quite good there wasn't a ton of hazelnut flavor coming from it. I added a shot of cold press to my pint Husband was of the opinion that all 3 of the pale beers were too sweet for his liking and actually asked the brewer/founder Jesse about them. Jesse agreed but said he is kind of doing that on purpose to make the beers a little more palatable for beer noobs - he said a majority of the people coming in have never really had craft beer before and are looking for something along the lines of your typical mass produced light beer, and you know what, for a town like Anoka that actually makes a lot of sense. Once customers become accoustomed to the deliciousness that is craft beer he will expand the beers a bit. Pretty good idea, IMO. Regarding growler fills, right now they are only offering 750ml fills (mini sized), and it has to be their labeled growler, so no bringing minis from other breweries. You can get them now if you bring in a food item to donate, otherwise they officially start filling them on 12/26. We'll definitely be back, looking forward to seeing what new beers this place developes! read more

10K Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

I've given this place a try about 5 times due to their groupon deal. The deal is so great that it's really hard to pass up. With that said, each time I feel robbed. 95% of the beers taste watered down. Even with the great discounted groupon I feel robbed. I cant figure out why they taste that way. Is it the way they craft them to reduce gluten??? I don't mean to be so harsh as it's not the Minnesota way but it just has to be said. The place sure is really nice and family friendly. Oh and dog friendly, so that's cool. But I am here for beer. And sadly it falls short. read more

Decided to take a "little" detour away from the typical brewery hotspots that I'm so familiar with in the twin cities and venture up 'north' a bit. If you ever find yourself up in Anoka I would suggest paying these guys a visit. They got a chill tap room with some pretty strong beer choices. I recall the 3 beers they had on opening weekend, so glad to see that they have quite the lengthy list nowadays with plenty of varieties (ranging from light, hoppy, malty, fruity, dark and everything in-between). The beers are tasty, the owners/staff are friendly, the local live music talent is enjoyable and the taproom is dog friendly. Suggest trying, but not limiting yourself just to these: Coconut Moose Nuts (or any other variation of the Moose Nuts), Citrisic: Brewers Edition, any of their IPAs. The brewery is sort of split up in two rooms, the main bar area that you see once you walk in and then the bigger room that houses the stage and lots of seating (high tops and picnic style benches). There is pretty good street parking and an open parking ramp (free) at the end of the block. They don't have a patio but not sure if they put out any sort of chairs/tables in front on the sidewalk during the summer time. Guess I'll just have to go visit and see for myself. Oh, and congrats on turning 2, glad to see you standing tall and serving up some delicious brews. read more

Came here on a Saturday and it was super busy. They had 2 people working the whole place and it was kind of a disaster. Line was 2 people long waiting for beer and to be honest the beer was just marginal. Someone finally showed up to help but that didn't really make up for the so-so atmosphere and beer. I think it's great that a small town has this place but I think they could do a little better. Music was also loud and annoying in such a small space. Sorry probably not going back. read more

Finally a place close to home where the beer is frsh and the staff friendly. Dogs allowed on leash. Short leash preferred. No food service, but tons of local places that deliver. Love the rotation of beer choices. read more

Craft Beer. Live Music. I can bring my Dog?! What could be better! One Sunday afternoon i found myself at 10K Brewery in Anoka, listening to a friend play his music. In a nutshell, this place is GREAT! Definitely not a typical 'bar' or 'pub'...10K has an incredible menu of craft brews sure to please! I ordered a $9 flight which included 4 samples. More than enough for me. 10K doesn't serve food but the really cool thing is you can: A: Bring in your own (we saw Chipotle, etc...) B: Order in your own (Serums? Billy's? Think Pizza! Burgers! oh, my!) C: A bowl of peanuts or popcorn will set you back a $1. There are plenty of local restaurants in Anoka more than happy to deliver to 10K. What really got my attention was the the support from the community i felt while at this place....Local music, families (with dogs!), fun and FUN! Be sure and look at the 10K website. They've got yoga, and plenty of live music on the calendar. So, I get it....not everyone wants to hang out with a bunch of dogs. If pet-friendly gigs aren't your thing, it's good. There's more beer around the corner.....It just isn't nearly as good!! Cheers! read more

Love this place! They always have something on tap for everyone. They also have live music and it's not too loud in the place that you can't hold a conversation. The staff is very friendly as well. My favorite brewery in the twin cities by far! read more

Came for trivia Wednesday night and had a blast. Love the laid back atmosphere and the bartenders and owners are so nice and fun to talk to. The beer selection is fun and I think we tried them all!

I understand this place is new and it was Okay with me that they only had 2 beers left on tap. Here is why they got 2 stars. We were helped by the brother(the brewer) who owns the place, and I got the impression that he's not a people person. That's fine im not much of a talker either, however I do need information on what beer you have since the wall didn't display anything on it. There were two other bartenders behind he bar, however they were huddled down at the other end of the bar where the other owner his sister(10k marketing) was at the bar drinking. The bartenders were of course on their phones and paying little attention to the patrons. We had the Haufeweizen, 1 of the 2 left. I thought the beer wasn't bad. I can't see going out of my way to go back. read more

Really good beer, friendly bartenders. Double IPA is great, and the looner uprising was surprisingly fantastic. My friends favorite was nice pale ale read more

What a great spot to spend a long Sunday afternoon! We came with our dog a few weeks ago (hooray dog-friendly indoors!) and each got a flight.

We'll definitely be back! read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon, service was awful. The bar was not busy and it took 10 minutes for them the tell us we were standing in the wrong place to place an order. It took 10 more once we were positioned correctly. The beer was sub par, watered down and not memorable. This was our second time visiting, thinking it couldn't be as bad as the first time... but it was... we will never be wasting our time at this place again. There are better places to get a beer down the street. read more
