Went here to dance at the boombox event. Had a fantastic time! Wide selection of beer. A friend ordered the pizza from OG Zaza - Big Dilly and it was delicious!!!! A perfect pair for a good beer! Had a great time dancing!

Kettle Sour
Ashley B.

I'm surprised I've never been here before! It's just slightly off my beaten track, so I hadn't noticed it, even though it's in a massive building with a good-sized parking lot--super convenient. I tried one of their kettle sours, and it was perfectly balanced--sweet yet tangy, but not overly sweet like some sours can be. It had just the right amount of tartness to keep it refreshing and interesting. All of their brews seem to feature unique and creative flavor combinations, which makes me even more excited to go back and explore more of their menu. This is definitely a spot I'd bring friends to next time. Great beer, great vibe, and an awesome place to unwind. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

Dream Shake-milkshake IPA
Barry M.

Love this brewery. I'm a big milkshake IPA guy and they brew one of my favorites. Dream Shake is a thick and fruity IPA and is very drinkable. I'm also a fan of their hazy IPA "It Was All a Dream". We were there on a Wednesday night which meant they had trivia going on and it was jamming. Great indoor & outdoor seating and very dog friendly.

Update! I have been back for many trivia nights and to try the beer. I am a sour girl and both of the ones I have tried are really good. All the staff are super friendly. Excited for the nice weather to be able to sit on the patio for trivia!

I came here for the ZPC for the Halloween event and loved it. They have a lot of different drink options. They offer inside or patio seating. The bartenders were very welcoming and informative. It's very laid back and classy.

First off, I really appreciate a parking lot, even if it's one shared between 4 businesses. Up next, 80s music is playing in the background right now, which means I'm also in the middle of improv karaoke- very unfortunate for the 4 other patrons, as I can't carry a tune, despite knowing all the words. Meh, with a few more drinks, I'm bound to start sounding better. It has the industrial decor theme going & a well spread out space with an assortment of seating options, games and plenty of space for large groups. Most patrons have their eyes glued to their phones (same as me, currently)... lots of black puffer jackets & 1 baby. Kind of quiet but it's Monday at 2pm... so, probably not rush hour. I went with a coffee cream ale - It's a decent beer, tho I'm not sure I'm picking up much coffee on the tastebuds and I know I'm not getting any on the nose. It's refreshing tho. I may hafta go with the coffee porter next to bump it up a notch. Bonus for using 5 Watt Coffee, which alo happens to be right next door - yum Bonus #2 for up to date tap list on their website.

Maroon and Gold
Anthony M.

I thought this was a lovely little brewery. We have a bunch of these kinds in Chicago, but I would say this place was higher than average. The Helles was ok, but the Juicy IPA and their special "Maroon and Gold" were excellent. This seems to be a chill spot and the Minnesota friendliness was found in spades with the bartender. Excellent service. This will be going on my list as this place was nearly perfect and exactly what I was looking for tonight! Nice, simple, and good!

Stumbled across this nice brewery while out hopping with my friends. It's a very nice rustic building with a lot of charm. The parking lot is big, if it's full you might have to park across the street. I had a flight, trying 4 beers for a decent price: Check Pilsner Hazy IPA Cold IPA West Coast IPA All them were good: subtle flavors combine for a smooth robust beer.

The flight - Four glasses of beer are arranged on a black flight paddle on a wooden table in a brewery or bar setting.

I was visiting my friends in MN and HeadFlyer was apart of my brewery tour, amongst others. I think this place and their "It Was All a Dream" hazy IPA has made it into my top 3 favorite breweries and beers of all time! YEAH I SAID THAT! We arrived just past noon on a Saturday. It wasn't very crowded, but I have since followed them on Instagram and have seen posts of how packed it can get, especially when a MN sports team in playing! I ordered a flight of 4 beers--3 IPAs and 1 that I let the bartender choose as a surprise. It was their hefeweizen I believe, and although I typically drink IPAs, it was very good and reminded me of when I used to drink Shock Top and Blue Moon when I was first of drinking age. We sat on the couches to the right back corner as you walk into the brewery and it was a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy some brews and catch up with friends. I honestly cannot wait to be back and am just hoping that when my friends come back to visit in California, they surprise me with a couple more 4-packs lol.

Entrance
Brad L.

This brewery is one I haven't heard of and really glad that we stopped in here as I tried four different types of beers and loved them all. It was a little confusing when we first got there and parked, as we didn't know how to enter, but we went to the front of the building and found that the entrance was by the outdoor patio area. The Brewery inside was not as large as we thought it would be, but still fit enough people. I also noticed that the service was a little slow with two bartenders, so would recommend a third with how busy it was. It definitely did not affect our experience though. We started off with a flight of the following beers and all were amazing, but the About Damn Lime was the best. The IPAs were great as they were smooth and not super hoppy. 1 - Triple Berry Kettle Sour 2 - About Damn Lime - Fruit Whipped Ale 9 - Candy Paint - DDH Hazy IPA 6 - Prolific West Coast IPA I ordered a full beer after doing the flights and decided on their flag ship, which is a juicy IPA called "It was all a dream" and glad I tried that one as well. We will definitely come back here. I liked the beer so much, I ended up buying 3 growlers and got an extra $5 off by doing 3 vs 2. The parking lot was huge and the space offers great drinks, games, tvs and is dog friendly.

The patio is a huge highlight. It's spacious, well set up, and perfect for enjoying drinks outside, especially in the warmer months. There are games to play, plenty of seating, and a really fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to spend a few hours there without even realizing it. 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.

I think more decoration or more character would be good to make this plaza more cozy and personal but overall it's a good space.

Let me start by stating, I was there for an event in a private area. Therefore my experience was…read morevery limited. That said, I like that it's off the beaten path, tucked away. However I do not like the parking whatsoever. If you're not lucky enough to get a spot by the entrance you'll have to park in the back..... I'm talking wayyyy back. 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.

My only gripe is that it is a very big place and there was lots of walking all over to get beer, pizza, or make a bathroom run with a toddler, only to have to make the trip again with another toddler.
