This place is FREAKING OUTSTANDING. The awesomeness includes:…read more 1. Dave, who is amazingly welcoming, gracious and just plain fun to talk to. Everyone I encountered - from those pouring the beers to those drinking them, were friendly. The vibe is totally positive. 2. The place - we brought a grill, a picnic, launched rockets, wandered the fields, picked pumpkins...it was so great. 3. Kids have fun too. They are welcome, and there is plenty of space to run around, toss a football, launch rockets, explore, catch crickets... 4. The beer. I am not a huge fan of Belgian or farmhouse style beers, which were the selection when we visited, but I know the selection changes frequently, and for not being a fan of these styles typically, I drank the entirety of each of my samples, and it was fun to explore a style that I would not have otherwise done. 5. The prices - totally reasonable. I would go here again in a heartbeat, and totally will.

Lots of memorabilia from long defunct breweries. My Bloody Mary was excellent as were my fish tacos. There are multiple options for pescatarians though probably a bit more challenging for vegans, which is not unusual in this part of the world. While we visited their onsite brewing was on hiatus because they need to be re-licensed after the ownership change. Looking forward to that happening!

I went to Reid's Landing today and I am revising my rating downward. I still feel this is a…read morebeautiful location and view, especially for eagle watching (we were on our way back from nearby Wabasha, the home of the National Eagle Center). I had the soup special, a bowl of the French Onion Soup, and my wife had the Pub Burger. Although both dishes were presented attractively, neither one had a "wow" factor, and in fact, were bland and lacking in flavor. It's too bad because,I was really in the mood for Onion Soup. The onions were cooked well, but the soup really was lacking in taste. I think the broth tasted like canned broth and did not have any depth of flavor. My wife felt the same way about the hamburger; it also was bland. So neither dish was particularly memorable. So one less star for food. They also loose another star for their continued surcharge for both a credit card and a debit card. When I rated this place two years ago, they were charging a 5% "employee pay supplement" which is no longer legal. However, it is also illegal to charge a 3% surcharge on both credit cards and debit cards (this new law was effective in January of 2025). Restaurants CAN charge for credit cards, but it is illegal to surcharge for debit cards. In fact, not only is this a Minnesota law, it is a Federal law, and part of the rules for Visa and Mastercard. Another option is that restaurants CAN give a cash discount from the menu, but to do that the menu must show prices using the credit card price and state that they give a (in this case) a 3% discount for cash (note: a menu discount, not a menu surcharge). If a credit or debit card is used, then it must match the MENU price and the check needs to show the menu price total, and separately show the cash discount. I tried to show the General Manager this law and explain it, but he was very dismissive and borderline rude. At first he tried to tell me their was a discount for paying in cash, so I asked him if that was discount off of the menu price, and he said no. A lack of a surcharge is NOT a discount; it is a surcharge!

I cannot speak enough of how kind and warm the owner was. She went above and beyond for us and even walked us to our car with umbrellas in the pouring rain.

Hoppy Girl Brewing AKA-Turning Waters Back Alley Brewing is amazing. Brenda and Ford have a lovely…read morebed and breakfast named Turning Waters. 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!

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. Both the artwork and beer itself are Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

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.

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.

"Anybody Want a Peanut?": A Porter made with real peanut butter and milk chocolate giving it the depth of flavor with none of the artificial tastes.

Everyone talking up the Philly cheese steak sandwiches are insane to think that these are even good.
