    Came here after an event and was presently surprised. Beautiful taproom with lots of seating, including outdoors. Server gave us information on all their beers and helped us make the correct selection. Great location with plenty of parking. Definitely coming back to try the food trucks.

    One of my favorite breweries in MN! A few of the owners are Korean so they have a great rotation of Korean-inspired flavors, like the Tokki rice lager and Gochu Stout. They also just launched another limited-time flavor, the Càphin--a collaboration with the namesake local coffee shop, it's a Vietnamese Coffee Stout. I'm very much not a beer person, but loved all three of these! Arbeiter doesn't have a kitchen so they have rotating food trucks at the taproom, plus the option to bring your own food. I personally brought my own big old jar of kimchi, which was genuinely life-changing paired with the Tokki and Gochu Stout! The space itself is such a fun vibe--well-lit with colorful decor and plenty of seating, including a little lofted upstairs area that's still open to the main taproom floor, which makes it feel very connected--we went for trivia and played from the upstairs and the host still came up to check in with everyone upstairs multiple times, which was super nice. The taproom is also dog-friendly inside and out, so we saw some cuuuuute pups while there! If you're looking to try some truly inventive beer varieties, Arbeiter is 100% your place. They also have some great NA options available like kombucha, hop water, sodas, and even THC drinks. Their prices are great, in my opinion--their taster size ($3 or $4, depending on the beer) is perfect for a lightweight like me, so getting to make my own mini-flight of three of those for under $10 was an absolute steal in my book!

    We had a great time here. There was a small Korean pop up market here where relatives and friends were selling items. The brewery makes two Korean style beers. One is called Tokki which is a Korean rice lager. It's quite good. The other is Gochu Stout which has a small amount of Gochujang spice in it. It's really tasty. I had more than one and also brought a couple of both of them home. Very nice venue.

    Welcome to brewery visit #280 for me! I'm in Minneapolis on business and arrived early so had a little time to hit a couple of breweries with AB being first. AB has a great space just down from the still burned out 3rd precinct. I had no idea when I drive to AB but I recognized it from the videos. Anyway, AB is cool with high ceilings, pinball machines, and some cool murals. I started with the Maibock which is toasty with slight bitterness. Westkũst IPA was up next with a really smooth flavor to it. This was a really good IPA. The Hermanator! A bourbon barrel aged doppelbock had a nice bourbon/oak flavor to it that was actually really smooth. Last at this stop is Arbeiterin, a prickly pear and passion fruit sour for International Women's Day. Kind of appropriate as all the women in my life, SWPFTD my wife of 34 years and my daughter, are pretty damn prickly. Anyway...the beer sure is a pretty color and better than that it has a nice fruity but not overpoweringly sour flavor. Good beers and great space here at AB. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Pub Pass time. This was our first visit to Arbeiter Brewing. I love the industrial atmosphere. There is seating in the main floor as well as an upper balcony area. They do not serve food inside so they are dog friendly and we brought our grand pup. There were several well-behaved dogs lounging with their owners on a Saturday. Parking is rather limited in their lot but we found street parking right in front. The gentleman working was awesome. Tons of energy (he was singing to the music) and great suggestions for newbies like me. I chose the Hermanator. I love dark beer and it was rich, smooth, and tasty. While they don't serve food, they do have food trucks you can order and bring into the brewery. Great stop.

    Great place, great vibe. Staff is friendly and helpful. The space invites you to hang out and just chill with friends. Dog, friendly inside which is a bonus! (Found them on Sidewalk Dog.) The thing that will bring us back though is the beer! You can have a great olace but if the beer is terrible, you won't get return customers. I tried the Pfeffernuse first. I was worried that it would be over peppery, but it was just a great dark, spicy winter warmer. Yum. Then I had the Moneymaker. All the things an Imperial stout should be. Lots of flavor and yes, boozy. Good for sipping and enjoying!

    This AAPI-owned brewery in South Minneapolis called our name on a brisk, January afternoon. We brought the puppy along for some games and a brew! Plenty of parking available! Space itself is lovely, bursting with personality, and has lots of seating options! We chose a quiet spot in the upper loft area! Service was friendly and quick! Beers were good! We got the Pfuffernusse, a winter beer designed to warm you up with holiday spices, and the Nitro Coffee Stout. If you didn't bring your own games, they have pinball machines to pass the time! A cool spot for sure!

    Arbeiter is arguably one of the best breweries in Minneapolis. The taproom is awesome with lots of art and plants to enjoy. All of the staff is excellent and the beers are even better. Arbeiter is a must visit brewery in the cities and will likely draw you back again and again.

    Great beers, great service, and a great space! Arbeiter has outdoor patio seating and indoor seating on an upper balcony and on the main floor. The walls are covered in murals, and there are classic pinball machines, which creates a cool vibe. The beers are great, with a couple seltzer options. Personally, i really enjoyed the milk stout that I got, although I can't remember it's name. The beers rotate and there's some cool collabs, including community/social impact collabs, that happens with the brews and through events hosted by Arbeiter, including the Little Asia Market. Arbeiter does a great job with their beers and being inclusive- 10/10 would recommend

    Great ambience!!! Fun space and not too busy on a Saturday afternoon to bring my boys! Beer was great! Many different Pilsners to choose from! And some good N/A options for the kids. Fun and friendly staff and added bonus of a parking lot!!

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy, there was a food truck outside although we didn't try it. This had a fun atmosphere that is great to spend time with friends and family. Some groups were playing games, others crafting. We forgot our cribbage board. I think they may have had games but we enjoyed just watching everyone from the second floor seating area. They had pinball machines but my husband didn't feeling like playing. There is a small lot to park in that was nice. I had the arbieter, a German blonde. It was good but I wished they would have had a hefeweizen. My husband had the nitro nitro nitro and really enjoyed it. It was fun and I love hitting up different breweries!

    For a Happy Hour I jumped on over to Arbeiter. They are German influenced, but knock it out of the park on all styles. With their team of rock stars they consistently put out great beers and are contributing to the community as well. I tried four of their beers, focusing on some of their new collaboration beers Duel City: A Belgian IPA brewed with @badweatherbrew that was dip hopped to really bring out the citrus / grassy hop aromas. Crisp and clean, almost like a lager, but still have the expected pepper / fruit aromas & flavors that the lovely Belgian yeast creates. Cool Jazz: A Cold IPA made with Jasmine rice, Azzaca, Chinook, Zamba hops, and Lager yeast from Jasper Yeast. It was made as a collaboration with @brewingchangecollab, who as a mission to "foster diversity, equity, and inclusion for people of color in teh brewing and beverage industries through advocacy, outreach, and education". This phenomenal beer is clean and light like a Lager with mild hop flavors and aromas. The beer is refreshing and packed with flavor. Cold IPA: Another Cold IPA on tap, this one created in collaboration with Marcus Baskerville of @weatheredsoulsbrewing_satx. Love this collaboration and seeing Juno Choi and Marcus Baskerville come together to create such a great representation of the style. This beer was my favorite of the four, exploding with lemon juice / citrus and a light doughy malt profile. Very light hints of grassy / woodsy hops. Southside Dip Hop Project: A Dip Hopped Black IPA made as a collaboration with the southside breweries. A very unique beer with a medium-high roastiness and medium-low pine. Each sip made you feel like you were either drinking a cup of coffee with pine cones dipped in it (surprisingly tasty) or a pine-flavored tea with coffee beans dropped in, as the flavors melded together. Never had a beer like it, but thoroughly enjoyed the ride!

    We have the PubPass and glad we do, as I wouldn't have found this location with the amount of breweries in the cities. We got to try multiple beers and the ones that really stuck out were the Raspberry Basil Wheat Ale, Your Opacity (Juicy/Hazy), Arbeiter German Blonde Ale. All were super easy to drink. The bartender made the experience really fun and entertaining as we found a spot at the end of the bar. We really love that their beer was listed at the end of the bar on clipboards. We made it here on a night in which they pull down a big screen if you'd like to play some video games. They also offer pinball machines. There was also a good option that same night and because it was cold the food truck had all their stuff inside. It was called Amazing Momo and offered steamed and pan fried dumplings. Both were good, but definitely preferred the pan fried. We will come back here again and hope they get their beer on more taps around the cities.

The patio is a huge highlight. It's spacious, well set up, and perfect for enjoying drinks outside, especially in the warmer months.

The food is also a standout, which isn't always the case at breweries. We especially love the pizza and the elote fries, both are consistently delicious and pair perfectly with their drinks. It's nice to have food options that go beyond the basics and actually feel like a reason to come back. The staff has always been super friendly and patient, even when it's busy, which we really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Inside, the space is just as great. There are two levels and games you can play, so there's plenty to do no matter the weather. Overall, this is one of our go-to spots and somewhere we find ourselves coming back to again and again.

And leave the cute shoes at-home, especially the heels, b/c back there is unpaved, dirt filled, uneven and creepy. Once inside it's no frills, but a nice venue. A real chill ambiance! If you're not in the mood for alcohol, there was a short list of NA beers, several soft drinks, and THC drinks. I got the Clausthaler Non-alcoholic beer in the IPA variety. They also had an original and grapefruit flavor. Mine was very tasty - not too hoppy and nor watered down. I'd get it again. As for food I didn't notice anything on the menu, but then again I wasn't really looking (hard). However, there was a food truck outside. Although my event was on the other end of the building, the noise from the main area definitely infiltrated. So, if you're coming to catch up with folks leave your inside voice at home. Anyway, based on the website, they host a variety of food trucks and events including a meat raffle. Since I've never been to one, it gives me reason to check out Utepils again and hopefully get a better parking spot.
