There is an impressive menu of beers available. Many different styles as well as limited infusions.

Definitely stop on by if you are ever in the area!

The setting is really cool, a building with an industrial feel and lots of seating. We sat right at the bar. It took us a while to get served, and then for our whiskey flight to come out. They use large communion cups, which I thought was amusing. The whiskeys weren't really to our taste, though. It didn't take us long to have those, but even though we were right at the bar, we were ignored for a long stretch. I quietly wondered if the drinks had somehow made us invisible. We were finally able to pay and leave. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but the place didn't make an overall good impression on us.

We were both really happy with our selection. We actually went back later in the evening and there were lots of people. There is quite a bit of seating inside but we thought why not go up on the outside deck for the view? It was a nice view but not very much seating. The service was good and the bar tenders really knew how to make a drink.

Oliphant Honees Honees: Oliphant Brewing was founded just over a decade ago in Somerset, WI (which…read moreis practically MN near the Twin Cities). Being an avid reader, I know never to judge a book by its cover, but the artwork on the can is honestly what got me to check out Honees Honees. It's dubbed a peanut butter & honey golden ale, which is an ale brewed with honey and lactose, with peanut butter flavor and caramel color. The artwork that so powerfully snatched my attention sort of conveys that in its own unique and trippy way. Pouring the ale reveals a clear dark gold/amber color. I found the peanut butter to be stronger on the nose than the palate. Taste favored honey, with hints of peanuts, caramel malts, and a sweet (for a beer) finish. It weighs in at 5.6% ABV.

I love breweries, but I'm gluten free and don't always feel like drinking alcohol, so sometimes my options are very limited. That was not the case here. There were several different options for cocktails-all of which could be made without alcohol. I ordered the cranberry mule and other members of my party enjoyed the NA beer and some of the sours. The space itself is nice and perfect for catching up with friends and playing a card game or two. I can't wait to visit in the summer and sit on the patio overlooking the river.

Normally the style can be much more "smoothie" than beer, but The Brewing Projekt gets the mix just right. Everything is well blended, not too sweet, and surprisingly light for what they are. Every beer we tried was great. The taproom is huge, their patio overlooks the River, and they allow dogs everywhere. What more do you want? It's a super chill atmosphere with board games and friendly staff. I would make a road trip here again and park a lunch or something. Just hang out, drink a couple beers and play board games.

When they first started they called the brewery Turning Waters back alley because it was in the garage in the back alley of their Bed and Breakfast. You may think WHAT?!?! Its in a garage...yep its in the garage and its FANTASTIC. This brewery blew me away, and it makes me sad that they are not talked about more in the beer community. Since this awesome brewery is a brewpub you can also find pizza, ice cream, cocktails, wine, and various snacks. The beer is just amazing and the company you meet is even better. I have never had so much fun at a brewery. Brenda and Ford are 100% two of the nicest people we have ever met who also just happen to brew really good beer! I also loved the seltzer- ask for it with a tea bag! I'm serious it's awesome! Please make a visit here!
