    My husband and I stopped by for a quick drink and were delightfully surprised. The brew menu was extensive. They also served wine and mixed cocktails! I had the Oat in a Boat stout. Very good! Their food menu was extensive. If we hadn't just had dinner, I would have ordered from it. The service was friendly and welcoming! Loved the layout. Looks like they have entertainment too.

    Stopped by Copper Trail while we were in town and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor definitely meets the copper vibe and gives a somewhat rustic feel - I enjoyed the mural that told the story of how grain becomes beer. While here I got their copper sunrise and it was sooo good! The pineapple and cherry notes were prominent and it was not overly sweet or tart. It also had such a delicious cherry scent. I don't think I would complain if this were the only beer I could drink for the rest of my life. Wish I had time to try out more of their options. Service here was also nice, they were helpful and offered suggestions. Overall, can't wait until i'm back in town so I can stop by again!

    What a delightful stop! We popped in for a hop passport stamp &, of course, pork belly anything. You order at the counter & seat yourselves. They text when your food is ready for pickup and go up to the pickup window to grab it, then carry it to your table. There is no table service. You do have the option to pay as you go or open a tab. The layout is nice, using an assortment of hi-los & there's plenty of well-spaced seating. Friendly staff are eager to share information on brews & hear feedback from patrons. I could easily see this being a regular stop if I lived closer. The tacos are larger than the standard street size. 2 would have been sufficient without an app but, ya know, pork belly there too - so... yeah, we had that too. The pork belly was well rendered- crispy outer & tender, not greasy inside. Bravo Pro Tip: Go with someone, each order 2 different varieties of tacos the trade 1 for an instant combo!

    We had a lovely evening at this brewery. The craft beer was amazing, we could bring our dog as they don't have a license to serve food. So we enjoyed their beer and brought our own food and our dog. She behaved wonderfully as we all ate dinner and enjoyed crafted brews. Their selection of beers is vast and what we had was very good. Our food came from The Garden Bar on 6th. Well worth the stop before going to the brewery.

    Inaugural visit on Friday..what a great brewery and space! I loved the fun half book barrel when we entered the first set of doors to the brewery. Then the merch is RIGHT there when you enter the doors to the brewery. All the tables are spaced out in the spacious tap room and I appreciated that more regular height tables were available than high tops. I opted for the Oletoberfest & it was delicious. We had lunch, she had the Sesame Soy Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. I asked the beertender about the tacos. She said the Korean Pork Belly Tacos were a little heavy and the Southwest BBQ Chicken Tacos were spicy. I didn't feel like having the whole "how spicy?" discussion so I opted for the Pork Belly tacos and hoped for the best, read: able to finish both my beer and tacos. My tacos were delicious & I did eat them all AND finish my beer without feeling miserably full. Sorry, I forgot to get pics of the canopied patio, but there is a large patio. We sat at one of the picnic-esque tables w the cribbage boards made in the tabletops. We don't play but thought it was a fun idea. I liked that when food is ordered you have to give your phone number so they can text you that it's ready. We parked in the parking lot beside the patio, if that should get full there is also street parking available. Copper Trail was a great stop for a beer, lunch & just to relax, cheers.

    Great craft beers. And a disciplined dog is welcome as they do not serve food (you are supposed to grab that from a nearby restaurant). We did our sandwich grab from "The Garden Bar on 6th". All that said, this was totally enjoyable, and our dog was petted quite a bit. Good beer!

    Great beer and seltzer selection. Games to play inside and a great patio for warmer weather to enjoy. Music isn't overly loud and the beer tender was very knowledgeable and we had a great conversation.

    Copper Trail Brewing is a great place to get a fine crafted beer here in Alexandria, MN. I particularly liked the Lakeside Orange (wheat) and Bandit (a smokey Rauchbier). Of the other 6 tasters, they were all solid but did not particularly stand out (or were a bit too much coffee flavor in the event of the Milk Chocolate Stout). Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Definitely will stop in again if in the area.

    The new location is AMAZING :) This place has always been amazing but they truly took it to a whole new level when they opened near big ole. Its just breathtaking and you feel such comfort and warmth when you enter. I look forward to seeing more food trucks there this spring and summer. When they first opened they had a few food trucks come and it was very cool to have that in Alexandria. I am not a drinker and in fact only have 2-3 drinks per year but this is a wonderful place to do that. I strongly suggest everyone takes a moment to check them out :)

    Pretty basic, in a strip mall, not dog friendly, no outdoor seating. Maybe their new location will be better.

Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

Looks like they are maybe known for pizza as far as food. We ended up getting drinks out on the patio but not sure if that bar maybe went by a different name? Either way, cool place to grab drinks, food & hangout.

My friend said the chicken was bland, I thought it just needed a little salt. I really appreciate when cooks don't over-salt their food, this lets me get the seasoning right where I like it. Service was friendly and quick, the locals were friendly as well. And the prices were great. You can't go wrong here!

Unfortunately, this visit was a disappointing experience at what is normally a stellar restaurant. We called ahead and made a reservation for five people. When we arrived, we were told they could "squeeze us" into a four-person booth and place a chair at the end. It immediately brought to mind the famous Seinfeld joke about knowing how to take a reservation, but not how to actually hold one. Mother's Day was the entire reason we chose to dine out, making it a special occasion for our family. Once we received the menus, we realized the restaurant had significantly limited the offerings, and our mother's favorite dish had been removed. When we asked if it was still available, the server responded, "We didn't want to burden the kitchen tonight." That answer was especially disappointing given the occasion and the expectations we've come to have for this restaurant. To make matters worse, the service -- which is usually one of the highlights of dining here -- felt awkward, inattentive, and well below the standard we've experienced in the past. As we were leaving, our mother quietly commented that it might be time for our family to find a new regular dinner spot. That was honestly the most disappointing part of the evening.
