One of the stalwarts of the Mpls brewery scene, I had to make one last trip before they close at the end of the month (3/28). It's an amazing space; bright and airy with plenty of seating and a cafe next door. The staff has always been incredibly friendly and happy to chat about anything. They're known for their hazies but don't sleep on their stouts or crazy infusions. They're moving to a distribution-only model so you can still find their stuff around so I recommend picking it up. read more

Had a great time at head flyer brewing for a friend's birthday we went to backyard boombox. This was my first time coming for a backyard boombox event, but it is a great time! What's not to love? There's sun. fun. and tons of music. There is so much to vibe out to with different DJs and theres an outdoor bar that you can open a tab at. They have beers and seltzers for purchase. There is also an OG Zaza food truck outside the facility. They have bathrooms inside FYI, you don't have to use the porta potty lol. read more

Good: South facing brewery that opens to a patio and small yard, creating opportunities for soaking up some sunshine and enjoying rather good beer. Friendly beer-tenders. Felt dog friendly. Pizza from the truck is decent as well. Bad: The music is played very loud along with large TVs broadcasting sports and advertisements. When the doors are closed the small space amplifies the sound making it feel hostile to reflective conversation. Raucous college bar feel. read more

Both of the beers I tried were good. Their space is modern and cozy. Had a food truck for food. Also had a nice outdoor patio. Look forward to coming back to try out other beers! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Headflyer Brewing - Dream Shake-milkshake IPA - Breweries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Urban brewery situated in northeast mpls. Place is packed each time I come. Love the free concerts sometimes on the patio

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Absolutely love HeadFlyer Brewing! It's been a while but I brought my daughter who was visiting from Omaha and we both had the best time! The Spooky boozy slushy was delicious and we got some cool HeadFlyer/TWolves shirts too! They have both indoor and outdoor seating There is Trivia Mafia as well! They make some really great brews as well as THC Seltzers Pineapple Express is my personal fave!!!! read more

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. read more

A great spot to drink beer and hangout Northeast! The staff is friendly, the space is cozy, and the beer is delicious. Most recently we were there during March madness and they had $5 pints which was great. They always have a good variety on tap including one of my favorite IPAs around- it was all a juicy dream! However I do usually stick to the lighter beers these days and they always have plenty to choose from. Honorable mention to their enormous parking lot that makes your visit super convenient. Can't wait for patio season! read more

Whenever I am in the area I always stop at Ombibulous. It is one of the best liquor stores I have EVER been to. Being able to break up any pack of beer into singles is something I wish more liquor stores would do. On top of that, they primarily have Minnesota products - which is something I can get behind. But this isn't just about my love for Ombibulous (though I have enough of that to go around), this is about the brewery right down the street - Headflyer. Walk past the great coffee shops and stores and walk into a brewery that is just waiting to pour you a beer. Dog friendly inside and outside, cans / crowlers / bottles to go, and some awesome game options are just waiting for you. That is ignoring the beer options they have! They have their canned seltzers as well as an array of styles for your perusing eyes. I grabbed a flight to try their styles from light to dark and get a feel for what they are up to. Czech Yo Self: A Czech Pilsner with Bohemian Pilsner malt and a touch of Sterling hops that hits all the right notes. A medium-low bread character with a hint of honey sweetness. Spicy hop flavors and aromas with a medium-low bitterness. Beautiful color and clarity on the beer! Candy Paint: A Double Dry Hopped IPA hopped with Vic Secret and Citra. Pleasant medium-high bitterness with grapefruit and citrus hop flavors. Scotchy Scotch: A Scotch Ale with Rye, Smoked, and Roasted malts. Honestly, was not what I was expecting when ordering a Scotch Ale, but I did enjoy it. The smokeyness is not overwhelming as it is balanced by the spicy espresso notes of the other malts in the beer. A low caramel sweetness that is usually higher in a scotch ale. No hop flavor or aroma apparent - but to be expected in a Scotch Ale. Medium-light in body and extremely drinkable. Mint Chocolate Factory: A Pastry Stout to round out the flight. This one brewed with mint chocolates. Medium in body, which is surprising for a pastry stout. A medium flavor of mint chocolate that doesn't take over the beer, but actually accentuates the cocoa and malty sweet flavors of the base beer. Not chewy in the slightest and went down faster than expected. Pair this with a thin mint and have one heck of an evening! ________________ read more

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. read more

Dogs and babies, it seems the thing today is to have businesses where everyone can bring their dogs and babies, and this place is no exception. But the beer is great, so what the heck. My only complaint is that it is real loud because of the hard surfaces, but that's not their fault because they moved into a space that already came that way, and they added some sound damping technology. read more

Over priced. Bartending is slow and also rude. I don't usually leave bad reviews. I hope everyone have a great time! read more

Great spot with good beer and pet friendly. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was hopping. Lots of people and everyone was so friendly. Too cold for patio but I bet it's great the summer to sit out there. We will be back. read more

Well, I guess it's been three years since we've been to this brewery, and this time we were decidedly underwhelmed. I think they had the same beers they had last time we came, I probably even ordered the exact same flight again. A sour, which wasn't very sour and was kind of thin, really more like a soda pop more than a beer. The blueberry babe, which was my favorite of the four, but really I wouldn't order a whole pint of it. A strawberry which tasted like strawberry jam with water stirred up in it, my least favorite of the four. And then unremarkable vanilla porter, which I wouldn't kick out of bed, but would definitely not return for. All in all, we decided life is too short to return to this brewery. Maybe we are spoiled by all of the incredible breweries we have in Northeast Minneapolis, but the service honestly wasn't great either. I think these dudes hate their job. read more

Stopped in for a free pint after getting a voucher for donating blood last week. Kate was my lovely beertender who when I showed her the voucher to confirm i could use it replied "yes, thank you for donating!" Aww how sweet! Kate went over the tap list w me and I opted for a pint of Vanilla Bean Porter and later a small pout of Strawberry Whip. I arrived @ 12p open so there was only an employee playing cribbage w brewer Shawn and then just me, giving me a chance to chat up beertender Kate. I like the tap room; spacious digs w a lot of windows, w a patio, that I've never been out on and forgot to get pictures of. I asked what the building was originally and was informed a business that made old potato sacks; thus why there are some hanging on the north wall as you walk to the brewery. So.... the digs are comfortable, parking is easy in their lot, beer is good and staff are friendly. Besides beertender Kate, I shared just a few words w brewer Sean and tap room manager Dan. After sitting down I told Kate: I don't know how I always forget about you guys? I haven't been here in years! All the tables are well spaced out and there are a few regular height tables, a couch or two by the west wall, the comfy slightly padded stools @ the bar & basic brewery stools @ the high top tables. After today I have no excuse not to stop back in way sooner than another year!! Thanks Headflyer and Kate for a delightful visit, looking forward to returning to work my way through the tap list, cheers! read more

I was craving to get out on a Friday night and had my 5 year old -so I needed something kid friendly that we would both enjoy. After messaging a guy to see if he and his cute pup wanted to join us, the search or a brewery that was both kid friendly AND dog friendly was on. And this one fit BOTH!! Upon entering with my little guy, he spotted a container of l sidewalk chalk at the entrance. Kudos to them for actually being kid friendly!! And to top that off, one of the staff working encouraged him to grab the chalk and go color on the sidewalk with it! They also had a selection of in house sodas that are canned available too. (Seriously, yay for being so dang kid friendly!!!) My little guy opted for a cream soda...amd of course I had to sneak a few sips to make sure it was on par! It was! Not too overly sweet and perfect carbonated. They also had some board games available. We choose Jenga and dominos to play with my 5 year old. It wasn't until we checked out and was leaving that we spotted the humongous connect 4 out on the patio. Truly dog friendly?? Absolutely! Both inside and out on the patio. They also had water bowls and treats available for those fur babies. The brewery itself has a really nice open, relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful patio as well as a lower level picnic table area. The beer selection was great and the staff was above and beyond friendly compared to most in my experience. They seriously deserve more than the 5 star I am allowed to give them! I started with the dark, broody Vanilla Porter (and enjoyed!) and went back for a Pineapple IPA (which I almost never get! Hey, I'm a dark beer kind of gal!) It was lovely! Both kiddo and that sweet guys pup enjoyed the hang out. My only complaint would be that it would be nice to see a food truck or something more than flavored popcorn available for eats. If they had that, we probably would've easily stayed longer and had another round. We will definitely be back. It think this is my latest fav brewery. read more

I came to Headflyer on a Friday early evening and it wasn't too crowded. They have a parking lot shared with the businesses in this center. It gets pretty crowded but not impossible to find parking! I got the Kingfield which is a coffee porter. I'm not the biggest bear gal but when I do drink beer, it's a porter or a stout. I really liked this one and would definitely drink it again. Inside the brewery there's a ton of seating including benches and couches. They've also got a cozy fireplace, a ton of games, and cute decor! The overall vibe is very chill, place to bro down. Looking forward to coming back here! read more

Really good beer and they had stickers. Score. The bartenders were super cool. I would have given 5 stars, but there were probably 10 dogs in the building and I am totally cool with dogs on the patio, but I couldn't even hear my wife talking right in front of me with all the barking. It really ate into the experience. I tried their flight of beers and they were all amazing. It would have been nice to have a conversation with my companion though. read more

Since I can't drink beer, I'll keep this short and sweet and more about atmosphere/experience. Although--my boyfriend did like their beer! He recommends the flight first (cheaper than flights at other locations and they really fill up the tulip glasses!) and then getting a full size of your favorite one. We came here before checking out the Mission Manor downstairs. Plenty of seating, cool ambience, fireplace, and some awesome games! Cozy and comfortable but plenty of space to bring a big group. This deserves its own line: THEY HAVE LIFE SIZE CRIBBAGE BOARD. Minnesotans and cabin-goers unite!! Lots of board games in the back corner. They also host a weekly trivia night! read more

I have been to Headflyer quite a few times, and I am a big fan! I have quite a few favorites, but they also rotate their taps pretty often so there is always something new to try! They are totally dog friendly, but also have enough ground rules that it is not obnoxious for others. They also have plenty of parking which is helpful, plus a food truck pretty often. My favorite "extra" is their giant cribbage board and other games. Playing games on their patio in the summer is a solid way to spend an afternoon! Overall, I will always come back for the enjoyable atmosphere and reasonable prices for a great rotating selection of beers! read more

I am not your typical brewery customer, I'm more of a wine or vodka gal, but I do love me a good dark beer and the Vanilla Bean Porter here suited me right down to the ground. This is an excellent space, with a warehouse kind of vibe, lots of heavy wood tables and a gorgeous bar. There is plenty of seating and enormous TVs on the wall, plus a cribbage table fit for WunWun the giant. The brewery vats are visible behind a glass wall and everything is very clean. I like that you can get your own water at a self-serve tap at the end of the bar. The Tulip glasses are a perfect size for me, about 8 ounces of delicious beer. All of the beers on the menu come with good descriptions so you know what you're getting. Some people at my table ordered a flight and tried four kinds. I happily stuck with my porter. Although we did not order food, there is a pretty good menu of basics available, burgers and fries and such. I highly recommend this spot if you are a beer aficionado! read more
