I stopped in on a trip up for my St Cloud Trifecta visits. The beer was good and the tap room comfortable. I had a small flight of Dark Addiction, Lemon Fresh and Maibock. Also picked up a tacker sign for friends. None of the beers wowed me but they certainly weren't bad. Definitely worth the stop if yo're in the area, cheers. read more

Quick trip to a cute college town brought me to this fun place to grab a drink! I gravitate more towards sour beers and was happy to see they had an orange pineapple one which was a delight! Plenty of other options as well if you're not into that type. Literally a wall full! Staff was friendly and the ultimate win was indoor and outdoor seating. Friday's are a bit busier so try and get their earlier if you want a good seat and parking spot. Otherwise plenty of standing areas as well. Wish I would have bought a crawler to go! Will be back! Another bonus was the food truck outside if you want a quick bite with your drink! read more

Great addition to St. Joe! Staff were super friendly and the space was open and inviting. Outdoor space also looked like a lovely place to hang out with friends on a sunny day! My beer was pretty good, but for an IPA I don't know something tasted off. Maybe I'm spoiled with all the great breweries in Minneapolis and didn't try enough other beers! Either way, I'd go back. Definitely a fun space! read more

A new favorite beer. This place was awesome and their milkshake beers are to die for. Definitely a hit for the girls in the yard. Lol or for us the girls on a bike tour on the nice bike path. I even stopped at a small liquor store in Albany to buy some to bring home so good. read more

Love this new-ish Brewery! Visited the other day with a friend and has 2 beers and some yummy flavored pretzels. The location is so cool! An old police station turned into this brewery. The beer selection is great. I tried one of the hazy IPA's and another one. I can't remember the names of them, but they don't disappoint! read more

Bad Habit Brewing - people sitting at the bar - Breweries Near Me - Saint Joseph, Minnesota

A pleasant surprise! I was passing through the town & looking for a quick stop after a bike ride on the the Wobegon Trail. The atmosphere is inviting and fun... great variety of music, lots of natural light, many tables filled with conversation and laughter. The staff was super friendly and warm, making sure I got a great beer. A garage door opened & it looked like a band was setting up outside for a show- wish I would've stayed to see! The long list of options made me think there would be lots of average beer. I was wrong. I had the 'Hook Rye and Sinker' saison off of the bartenders recommendation, it was fresh and flavorful. Next, I tried the 'Lemon Fresh' which went down a little TOO easily! Both were delicious and smooth. Note- While they don't serve food, you can order delivery from local restaurants in the area. I'm sure locals love this gem, and I would recommend to anyone passing through on I-94. Really great. read more

Okay, so over a year ago we stopped at Bad Habit and fell in love with the place. We don't get to St Joseph very often, but found ourselves close enough today to take another side trip back to Bad Habit. As Siri was taking me into town I was confused as to where she was taking me as this wasn't where we were before... turns out Bad Habit has built a new brewery/taproom!!! That was a pleasant surprise and we really liked the feel and decor of the new place. Not to mention the friendly staff and the delicious beers! Beer selection was extensive and from the selection of traditional beers, hazy, sour and even a seltzer (get it, it was amazing), you'll definitely find something that caters to your palate. Definitely going back more frequently! read more

Bad Habit Brewing - Beer samplers! - Breweries Near Me - Saint Joseph, Minnesota

I have been to the old and new location of this awesome brewery. I will say the loved the old location better. I don't really get the upgrade. The new location was smaller then I expected for a move but, does look nice and modern. They pride themselves on being a small town brewery with world class beer. I believe that to be true. The beer is just really good. If I were to base this review alone on just the beer then it would be five stars. The first time I went to bad habit was in their smaller location around the corner. We met some amazing people who were so prideful in their home town brewery. We were blown away with the beer we tried. I remember loving the 100 in the Shade which was a tropical double IPA and the Trend Setter which was a Strawberry Brut IPA that is beyond amazing. The vibe in the small tap room was happiness and pride. The larger tap room is great. They have more tables and space and a better section for merchandise. It was definitely harder to order here as the tables are tight to the bar and the order here area is right in the middle. This made for a huge mess and unorganized line of people. We waiting 5 minutes our first time and 40 minutes our second time in that line. My favorite beer on this visit was hands down the Pau Hana. This Tropical Milkshake IPA was fruity, vanilla and so creamy. I could drink this all day if the ABV wasn't so high. Its just such a great beer bursting with flavor and smoothness at the same time. I also really enjoyed their Beer by the Foot and the Jolly Melon. I wish the Jolly Melon was a little more in your face Jolly Rancher style. It was more mellow then I expected for the name. The Beer by the Foot nailed that fruit by the foot flavor. I really did not care for the Hangup or the Red Beeron. The Red IPA was lacking the bitterness I would expect it and was more sweet and caramelly. Is it weird to say it was almost too balanced. I want that bitterness...at least for me and the crew I was with it was agreed. The hangup was their blonde ale which it was. It just was light and crisp... Not a bad beer but just not for me. I also really enjoyed the Habutial IPA which was just a really great solid IPA, the Peanut Butter Dark Addiction, and the Polar Espresso. Now here is what makes me most bummed. They sell crowlers, they sell growlers but they were all the same. The growlers were available for very limited beers. It seems like the Bennie Ale , Hangup, and habitual were the only choices for growlers. The crowlers they had available were the Red Beeron, Dark Addiction, Espresso, and one other one. I know they say they are a small town local brewery. I would like to take some of the beer I enjoyed home, and maybe they are not interested but, I thought that was disappointing that I couldn't take a growler/crowler of Pau Hana. I know they do smaller batches and are constantly changing the beer list but, It should be even better that we want to take these home. Our friends wanted to get the Beer by the Foot. I assume this one is extremely limited most likely but, if someone enjoys it and wants to buy it and take it then let them. What's the point of having off sale if you are going to be so limited about what beers people are able to take. I get wanting to have people come in and enjoy the experience but, Id like to take some of that experience home with me. Should you go to this brewery? 100% yes! The beer is amazing!!! Five stars for the beer but Four stars for the taproom experience. I do wish everyone would have gotten to experience the old location but, am so happy they are growing and expanding. Now please share your beer with more of the state! read more

Update: returned to New location which looks like it was a bank in a previous life. The place was busy on a Saturday. You had to stand in line and order beers or flights. The beer still needs much improvement. There is a nice outdoor area and dogs are welcome. There was a grassy area that had 2 bean bag toss games. Staff was friendlier. Now either get a newer brewer or improve your beers. read more

I love every thing I try and have gone back many times. The service is mostly great- a couple weird experiences but when it was super busy.

So the beers were all great. What makes this place extra special is that it's a dog friendly place. You and your fur babies can sit outside, a fenced and heated patio. I was extremely pleased to see my bartender wiped down the credit card machine after I used it. If you want a delicious and Covid-precautious place to drink, here is your destination. read more

Visited Bad Habit for the first time during a special event last night. Bad Habit has a nice, comfortable feel to it. It's a place where you could join family and friends for some excellent craft beer, games, and order in or bring in food from down the street or around the corner at Sliced, Gary's Pizza, Bo Diddley's, La Playette, The Local Blend or elsewhere. The brewery has a nice view of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and the Chapel at St. Ben's. The beverages are great. If you can't decide, order a flight. Don't overlook their homemade root beer. It's excellent as well. They're open Thursday-Sunday. Check on the hours to be sure they're open. read more

A stop at Bad Habit Brewing is always a treat. One of my favorite in Central Minnesota, they've got something for everyone -- a regular rotation of IPAs, lagers, stouts, sours and even seltzers. Everything Bad Habit brews is fantastic; their milk chocolate stout Dark Addiction is one of the best I've come across. Their taproom -- an expansion from the original space just around the corner -- is a beautiful space with much more room and patio space than the original. I'd be shocked if you had a negative experience here. read more

I went here on Friday night after wanting to check out this place for months. It was a lot smaller then I imagined it to be but my friends and I were able to find a table. Like most breweries, their beer menu is written on a chalkboard above the bar. They had about 10 beers on tap including their 3 typical beers in rotation. We opted for the flight was great to be able to try a variety of beers. Since it was a Friday during Lent, they had a fish fry going on and some guy came around taking orders and eventually it was delivered to your table. You are able to buy bottles of beer inside too and you can even get some pizza delivered to your table. I liked the beers I tried, my favorite being the blackberry. They had some pretty crazy stouts in the menu including a chocolate milkshake and another coconut one. I'm not a fan of stouts but I tried the chocolate one and didn't like it. Overall a fun place worth checking out! read more

Everything about this place rocks. The indoor space is cool and comfortable, the patio is beautiful and spacious. The beers I tried were all great. I love that you can order food delivery from nearby restaurants (and order this beer at some of them too); it's so cool to see local businesses really supporting each other like that. The design of the sample tray is both cool and practical. What a fantastic addition to St. Joe! read more

Awesome place with excellent, affordable beers. Did I mention they come fully stocked with games?! Dice, battleship, cribbage, trivia, etc. It's clear what Bad Habit is trying to do is turn their space into your living room, while serving you great beer. Though they don't have a kitchen, they've partnered with local eateries to deliver food straight to your seat. They also have admirable merchandise available. I mentioned several times during my first visit that I can't wait to come back. One of St. Joe's finest gems, right here. read more

I have been to Bad Habit often over the last year, as it's a convenient happy hour location for my friends and I. Pint sized beers are about $5-6 which is the going rate for a local microbrew. I'm not a beer expert, so I can't really go in depth about If their beer hits the mark as advertised. I do know that I appreciate their frequent rotations and fun flavors--just last week they tapped a cider beer. They have a French toast stout every once and a while. I'm not a fan of hoppy beers and they tend to brew a lot of IPAs, so if you're into that. This place is your spot. The bartenders are friendly. The outdoor patio in the summer is so nice. Tons of natural light in the building. Games to keep you occupied. Menus from nearby restaurants. We like it here. read more

In true Minnesota fashion, Bad Habit was a stop on the way back to the cities from the cabin up north. It was definitely worth the quick detour off 94. Bad Habit was the 44th taproom I've been to in the state of Minnesota, with probably about 80% of those being in the Twin Cities metro. I don't say that to brag, but more to say that I've been to a lot of breweries, and Bad Habit very much holds it's own against anything the state has to offer. The Dark Addiction (Chocolate Milk Stout) was a definite favorite. My girlfriend and I tried it first as part of a flight and felt like it was a little watery after tasting a wheat, a summer ale and an IPA first. However, once we got a full 10 oz pour, it was clear that the previous beers had affected our taste with the flight. It has a good medium body, with great chocolate flavor that doesn't overwhelm the taste of the ale. The American Wheat and English Pale Ale were also very good on our visit and I'd recommend them as well. The only beer that I didn't like was a Chocolate Chip French Toast Stout. It was far too sweet for my tastes, but they definitely got the flavor right for what they were trying to do. I don't really count that against them, because I appreciate any brewery willing to do something different and take a risk with what is clearly limited brew space at this level. The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Aaron, who is one of the co-owners. He was very friendly, talking to us and another group at the bar while still being quick with service to others. He was telling stories about his family/kids (who happened to be there that day) and the start of the bar. His easy-going manner made me feel like he was talking to me as a person rather than a customer, which was fun and made me feel very welcome. If this brewery was located in the metro, I'd be there all the time. I think it holds up with some of the best in the state. Congrats to Bad Habit for creating a great space to drink great beers in a small town. It's such an asset to a place like Saint Joseph, and I hope that community keeps supporting it for years to come! read more

We were here on a Saturday at about 8pm. Had the root beer and dark addiction loved them both. Seems really chill and relaxed. Great place to come have a drink. Outside patio as well for a nice summer night. read more

Amazing! By far my favorite local brewery! If you are in the area you need to check this place out!

Visited this joint for the first time on a Saturday night. I was pleasantly surprised. Many brews to choose from- ambiance is awesome! They don't serve food- but they do sell snack packs (meat/cheese and pretzels). They have various board games- we enjoyed "awkward family photos". Their apparel is really cool- will definitely be picking up a trucker hat and hoodie during my next visit. read more

This brewery and tap room is located in the quaint little college town of St. Joseph, MN. On the evening of our visit they were out of 2 of their 7 brews but we still enjoyed what was available. Very nice outdoor patio as well as a decent amount of seating indoors. It does close at 11. It is next to an Italian restaurant and has lifts on the floor above it probably necessitating the unique hours. read more

Whether you are from the area, passing through, or looking for somewhere to go outside of the metro area, this is a great place to stop for some GREAT beer and great company! They are open Thurs-Sun with varying events (I recommend checking their facebook page for upcoming events/tappings. Try their sampler flight if you can't decide). They also have some great sodas they make for the kids/driver along with board games and you can order food from the local college town eateries! (They only serve the beer they make and of course you can take a growler home with you) :) read more

Great flavors with there beers. Good service. I'm from Colorado and this place could keep up with the craft breweries there.

Love this place! We stop by mostly on weekends. (Hey, Aaron... see you Sunday?) Stand out beers. Excellent quality. We also hit up Oktoberfest, which was a blast. These guys are doing it right. Would be unbeatable if they served food, but they have food trucks sometimes and there is pizza around the corner that will deliver. They can continue to focus on the beer, because they have that on point. Keep it up! read more

In fairness, I'm not the biggest fan of beers, microbrews or otherwise. However, my friends are. Sadly, they were about as blase as I, a beer novice, was. That can't be great. But what they lack in brewing, they make up for in ambiance. And honestly, what the fuck do I know? read more
