Here for open mic with friends!
Kelly U.

Heavy Rotation hosts an open mic for local artists that's well worth checking out! It was middle of Sunday afternoon so there was no food, but the menu looked great. The beer menu is complete too, something for everyone. The service is friendly and attentive even in the middle of the open mic event. It's a nice place with a modern look, great space to meet friends, and easy to find a close parking spot. I'd strongly recommend giving it a chance!

Nice open brewery with lots of events and regular food trucks. The bar tenders were very helpful and didn't mind me asking 100 questions or getting a taste of something. They've got a nice sized patio that allows dogs. No pups inside, though. The beer was all pretty good. One of the better Vienna lagers around but not much worth driving 30 minutes for when there are closer options to the cities. If I lived in the northern exburbs I'd be here pretty often.

The menu and the bar

True to their name, the high volume and variety of taps sets this group apart. Their focus is on offering a new line up of taps multiple times a month. This is a great place to visit once but will reward to repeat patron. I spoke with one of the owners for a while before meeting one of my clients. What a cool and down to earth dude. If that's the caliber of of one owner, I can only assume the others are good dudes. Thanks for the great conversation and the great beer. Kudos for the "B.P. Pale Ale" - a great afternoon hazy to cap the day.

The location of this brewery is perfect! Just North of Highway 610 in a growing part of the community. The patio is spacious and dog friendly. The internal space is lofty and large but can get loud easily. The assortment consistently rotates, creating a unique experience every time. Due to its location, there is always plenty of parking. A great addition to this part of town!

First impressions: clean, quiet, easy to find. Not a of games actually. In fact there's one pinball machine, but, there's trivia on Thursdays at 7. Beer impressions: Vacationer: it's good. It's actually really good. Good thing it comes in a 10 oz because it's fairly thick BP Pale: can't say I'm a huge fan to be honest. Probably because it's 45 ibu, but if you're into IPAs you'll enjoy it. Hype Man: my buddy said it tastes like a basement. Claims that's some sort of code for beer reviews. But honestly, this is amazing beer. It's well bodied, not hoppy, and speaks a ton to the brewer masters skill when you can put this and the two listed above on the same menu. Honestly the worst part about this place is their barstools. Maybe it's just my thick thighs but I was sliding right off those bad boys and had to move to a regular table. Awesome beer though, definitely will be back.

There is a new brewery in Brooklyn Park and they are out the gates swinging! This craft brewery is a WELCOMED addition to the neighborhood. At first I wasn't sure what to expect as far as beer selection with a relatively small brewing system but they are cranking out a huge variety of beers in the somewhat small, yet open space featuring some music themed art and an arcade game. There is also a solid outdoor space. I tried a few different beers on my first visit. My favorites being the "Tasty Waves" West Coast IPA and "Snack Pack" Pasty Stout.

A bevy of brews!

Great brews & vibes are found here! Nice outdoor area to enjoy a brew, relax with your dog & visit with friends! Lots of games and special events (note to self: be sure to check their website for great live music). Nice service at the bar. Food truck rotation (check online to see when your fav will be parked in front! Today it was Cocina Street Tacos

When you first walk in, it's a friendly and fun atmosphere and feel. When it's busy, it can be a little packed, but still a ton of fun! They've got a great outdoor patio and the location is convenient and easy. Their beer is fantastic, with a regular rotation of selections moving through there every month or two. The brewer definitely knows his stuff and comes up with some amazing foundational beers for Heavy as well as going outside the norm with some great varieties. There's a beer, sour, or seltzer for everyone!! We've been been plenty of times and we'll be back plenty more!!

This is a nice clean brewery with great lighting and a nice open seating area. It's a dog friendly place with lots of beer choices. We decided to get several flights with so many choices. The bartender was friendly and got our flight's together quickly. Stand out choices for us were Good Vibrations winter warmer, how we do it fruited sour and call it what you want peanut butter stout. We really liked the flavors and my husband got a good vibrations to go. We will go back and see what different flavors they have.

Great variety

We stopped at Heavy Rotation during a recent visit to Minneapolis. Excellent beer, fun vibe, welcoming staff. I loved the Sunrise Cirrus Wheat and the ***award winning*** London Calling. Special events--trivia, meat raffles--food trucks, merch, succulents! I will be back.

Stopped in on Sunday, I was very excited a brewery opened up in the neighborhood. Off the bat, I love the vibe! Every one was friendly, I loved seeing all the adorable puppies and kids enjoying the outdoor patio. There is a parking lot with plenty of parking in front. The staff was very friendly, I was greeted as I walked through the door. There was plenty of seating and tables inside and out. They were pretty packed, but after I had my beer I realized why everyone was so happy to be here. The line was out the door and moved fairly fast. Heavy rotation offered a great selection that will fit and accommodate all brew lovers. Like most breweries, you are welcome to bring your own food but they do offer snacks for purchase (pretzels is what I saw). I gave the Vacationer a try. This is a wheat ale. OMG it was so delicious! You could definitely taste the tropical fruit in it but it was not over powering. I loved how you you were left with a slight coconut taste. It was definitely a vacation in my mouth. I cannot wait to go back and try the others on their menu. If you are in the area and want some good beer stop by you will not be disappointed.

Seeing how this was our first visit to this brewery, I had 2 flights of 4. I enjoyed 5 out of the 8 beers sampled. Very impressive!

My second time at Alloy Brewing and it did not disappoint. I ordered two of their beers: Gose Good…read morewith Raspberry and Laser Lips. Both were fruity with the perfect amount of tart. They know how to do beer! The day I went they ended up having Drag Bingo which was a fun addition. Prizes included things like free beer tokens and crowlers (although I unfortunately didn't win any - sad face!) They have snacks on deck and also a food truck. So vconvenient if you need something to balance it the drinks. Great place!

I've seen them at various beer events but they never registered with me as a place to visit. Safe…read moreto say I've been missing out this whole time! We Finally made the trip and I loved everything I tried from this under the radar, outer ring brewery. Cool, relaxed atmosphere in an old auto shop with plenty of seating and a couple TV's. They've got some pinball machines if you're into that and a parking lot patio around back that's dog friendly. The bartenders that I talked to we're super friendly and helpful. They've got some local beer-centric jewelery and coupons for a local game shop. No food but frequent trucks and a few binders of local delivery options. Their nitro tan porter was one of the better beers I've had in a while. Super smooth and full bodied but not too sweet. Can't wait till they put it on CO2 so I can get a crowler/growler. Their apple pie get was also excellent, but a lot. 5-10oz is perfect but you definitely want to try it. Their märzen and festbier were nice and crisp without being too malty. Huge fan overall and will definitely be back to try anything new they put out.
