Father's Day tradition: superhero movie dad wants to see, followed by a brewery (or two), and then dinner. (And then maybe another brewery.) This year Inbound was the first brewery of the day. I had heard great things, and the place lived up to the hype. Beer was very good - I had both the IPAs on offer as well as the peanut butter stout - and it's a great space. Only small drawback was the service, which was efficient but had a touch of, "we don't like people". I'll return some day for sure, but it isn't like Black Stack where you want to return right away. read more

Loveee this place! Two of the walls are all windows, so plenty of natural light is allowed in and it feels spacious. There is plenty of seating including benches, high tops, and bar stools. Every server I've had has been extremely kind and attentive. The food trucks outside are convenient and delicious- I've tried Sandy's and B52- check out Inbound's website for their food truck calendar! And my favorite part...DOGS! I love that I can bring my dog inside. They'll provide a water dish if you ask for one. I've seen (and pet) dogs of all sizes from little pugs to a huge Saint Bernard with drool dripping to the ground. My favorite beer is the apricot pale ale- it's very light, refreshing, and easy to drink. The prices are also reasonable at $6 a pint. The smell of bodies and beer can be overwhelming when you first walk in, but it quickly dissipates. read more

Had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend to call ahead and book a reservation (it was completely booked on a Saturday afternoon) but they followed COVID protocol amazingly and I felt ver comfortable being there. They were pretty strict on making sure everyone stuck to their 90 min time slot but that's probably because it was so busy. Overall recommend to anyone looking to try it out! read more

These beers are delicious. Came here for the first time a few months ago and will keep coming back. The beers they have on tap seem to rotate and I must say they have yet to disappoint. An awesome bonus is the brewery is DOG FRIENDLY!!! Yessssssss. So great to meet all of the pups and drink all of the beer. read more

I went here for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this place. The vibe inside is really cool. It's relaxed, yet hipster and inviting. They have a solid beer selection and you can't go wrong with any beer on their menu. There is metered parking right outside. It's definitely worth checking out! read more

Great local brewery to check out with awesome customer service. While waiting for friends to show up, I walked in, sat at the bar, and was immediately asked how I was doing and if I had any questions. Appreciate the immediate connection to the customer. Relaxing vibe that wasn't too chaotic on a Thursday evening. Offers food trucks and live music, which provides an awesome environment. They are dog-friendly as well! Would definitely come back again! read more

This is one of our favorite breweries in the twin cities based on their beer. They have such a great mix of brews and also keep some of their greatest on the menu consistently. Their pours are not overpriced and the staff is always friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be the benches and stools are not comfortable so we tend to only stay for one beer and head out. Definitely worth a try if you're a beer lover. read more

Another excellent craft option in Mpls and a short walk from Target field. Best option IMO if you are going to pre-game in the area. Spacious industrial atmosphere with communal seating. Bourbon barrel aged wild rice porter was legit, the best bourbon barrel variety I have had from a brewery in the cities. Seriously good, aged in Heaven Hills barrels. If you like this style of brew it's worth driving across town for a taste. read more

We stopped by on our first day in Minneapolis and enjoyed some local afternoon beers. It was a great, relaxing way to check out the local beer scene and enjoy a beer or two. I tried the Apricot Pale Ale (which, our bartender told us, is their best seller) and the Berliner Weisse, which was my favorite of the afternoon. The Berliner Weisse was tart, complex, and refreshing. Seems like a cool place! I bet it gets very crowded on a Saturday night. read more

Cool brewery, excellent beers! The only downside? Service. I came here last weekend with some friends. There was an event going on, so understandably so, it was busy. However, the wait was INSANE. One of my friends went up to the bar to grab us some beers. Apparently they were out of a certain kind that we wanted so the server had to go back and check on a keg or something. I walked up to the bar to see what was going on after 20 or so minutes, as she said no one came back to follow up with her or take her order. After being ignored time and time again when I go there, I finally got the server's attention who had previously been dealing with her order and politely advised that my friend had been waiting for over 20 minutes and was last told that they were out of a beer, but he was going to check on the keg and get back to her. His reponse? "Okay?" then started walking away, which I assumed he was going back to get the beers that were ready at that point. No apology for the wait, no offer to compensate. When he came back, he handed us the beers. We paid for them and walked back to our table. When we took a sip of our beers, we realized he hadn't even given us the kind of beer we asked for! At that point, we were too annoyed to go back and have to approach the server, when we knew we would be standing there for another 20+ minutes. I really love the space of this place and they have delicious beer, but considering how rude the server was that day, I don't know how soon I'll be back. read more

Inbound is absolutely one of my favorite breweries in the north loop! I tend to go in once or twice a week to partake in there raspberry or hibiscus brew. The staff is always extremely friendly and willing to let you sample. The space is huge and really well laid out. I've only been there once when there was a band playing but it's a really great set up for live music. Fulton (which is just down the road) typically has live music on Sundays and I wish Inbound would follow suit. Different food trucks visit the brewery each day and it's always fun to see which one will be there. The photo that I posted attached to this review was the day that R Taco was there. Absolutely wonderful! This is always my go to and will be for a very long time. I really hope they're successful, they definitely deserve it! read more

This newer North Loop brewery is a must visit. They have such an awesome setup with a 360 degree bar and plenty of beer hall tables for seating. You can even bring your dog for the party. Most breweries don't have TVs but this one has a giant projector and a TV by the bar. This made my boyfriend super happy so he could catch some Saturday night sports. The beer list is great too and they even have infused options to give your beer a little flavor. More people need to spread the word about this place. read more

Spending 5 years in Raleigh, NC I got used to the new, nice, and clean breweries and was pleasantly surprised to see that the breweries in Minneapolis live up to this standard. Inbound Brewco is in a super great location, close to quite a few other breweries and also Target Field so I'm sure it would be a great place to go before or after a nice summer baseball game. In the interest of not drinking too much beer during our local brew tours we each had one beer. Apricot Pale Ale - good nothing to write home about but very worth getting and apparently their most popular brew. American IPA - which was very good, a great standard IPA The space inside is great. Very open with unique tables and benches. I think they do tours which you may have to pay for, not sure but at the end you get tickets to try different beers which is cool and would be a great afternoon activity. read more

My husband and I had such a great time at Inbound! Disclaimer - we did a tour/tasting that was offered through Groupon, but I won't include any of that stuff in here (although if it's still being offered you should totally buy it). First of all, great location and open 7 days a week. Big wrap around bar and lots of communal tables, so plenty of space for say, after a Twins game. You will notice some of the taps have Lucid icons on them. So, Lucid is no more and their name is now North Loop Brew co, and this is also their tap room. It's kind of confusing. Inbound owns/is owned by them and also brew their own brand of beer (but not bottled). So their tap menu will have beers from both North Loop and Inbound. Don't worry about it too much! The staff was all great, friendly and helpful. We spoke to one of the brewmasters (I want to say his name was Pete, hope that's right!) both during and after the tour. Enthusiastic about the beer and what they're doing there, he was great to talk to. We had samples of beers from both Inbound and North Loop and they were all quite good. Hard to pick a favorite but the session IPA and Apricot Wheat were the top two for me. Free delivery from Black Sheep right around the corner too, or easy walking distance to other places in the North Loop area, including two other breweries! Highly recommended and definitely worth a stop for those looking to try out new breweries :) read more

New favorite brewery! Andy & I had friends visiting - my maid of honor & her fiance (cuz they just got engaged!!!!!), and she was getting her hair test done down the street at Brian Graham Salon (also awesome). Since we would be busy for a few hours, the dudes wandered around and ended up at Inbound, because they're open at 11 on Saturday's and everywhere else opens at 12. We're so happy they did. The beer is awesome. I think they ended up trying almost everything on the menu - and liked all of it. I loved the Hibiscus beer & took a bottle home. The guys ended up spending probably 3 hours there total, and wish they stayed there the whole afternoon since the second brewery they checked out was a bust after how awesome Inbound was. read more

This is a great brewery to find fun music and summer delicious brews. My personal favorite is "The Fuzz" apricot beer. Light on the apricot, strong on the refreshment. The place is set up for music performances in an industrial picnic-table style way that brings elements of community to the forefront of each show. Dog friendly, people friendly, and food-truck friendly. Overall, a great brewery experience. read more

Great brewery with great beers. I also love the vibe of this place. Very casual and can bring your dogs to drink with you. I got the Fuzz and my husband got the Fruit of the Loop. Will definitely be frequenting again. read more

Good beer. Poor service. We waited almost 20 minutes to be served at the bar. Limited seating but great ambiance. Would come back when it's not so busy and when they hire more bartenders. read more

Inbound BrewCo - Breweries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I came here yesterday for the Dogs of MSP October meet-up, and am so glad that Inbound hosted! This brewery is AWESOME. The staff is fantastic, they have a huge variety of beers on tap, and the space is perfect for catching up with a big group of friends - and, most importantly, you can bring your pup along! I can't wait to come back. read more

First thing I noticed was Inbound smelled a little weird, but it was cute and the beer was good. The brewery is pretty big and had lots of space. We plopped down at the bar, right in front of the giant American Flag that was hanging. I tried one of the IPAs and the Apricot beer. The Apricot beer was so so so good. Also had a sample of the Kolsch....I need that in my mouth again. It was scrumptious. Ate lots of food from the food truck outside, and took a growler home as well. read more

It's 10 pm on a Sunday and I'm in need of a drink (don't judge me, I tend to end my wknds/start my work week on the right foot), so I know exactly where to go, my neighborhood brewery. Fine, technically they are not in my hood, but it feels that way due to all the times me and the wife find ourselves in there. Plus we practically know ALL of the super friendly and helpful staff. So it's like our new age version of Cheers, since everyone knows our name AND our four legged furry friend, Haley. Shout out to the top duo brewery team in existence, Matt and Dan (also Haley's two most favorite people in the brewery scene). These guys are super helpful, amazing to chit chat with and very down to earth chill people. If you ever seen them in the tap room make sure and say hello. Sometimes I feel it's like these guys are open 24/7, which they are not, but their opening/closing hours are as close to it. Open every day of the week and until midnight, what more can a beer lover want. It's also helpful that they have some amazing beers on tap and lot of it. At a minimum you will tend to find 20 beers that range from Light to Dark, Hoppy, Sours and everything in between. If you can't find a cold beverage to drink from this extensive tap list then clearly you can't be helped There is also non-alcoholic choices for the youngin's and sober drivers. Besides the great daily tap beers they tend to have, a barrel aged beer or two that can be found in the list, so if you see it on the list don't feel shy not to give it a try. Don't worry they do have food trucks to help soak up some of that delicious beer, so just make sure to keep an eye out on their website to see which truck is out slingin some tasty snacks. They have a huge taproom space, which is very dog friendly (all of our four legged friends can attest to that) and during the summer times when MN decides to thaw out the huge garage doors and sliding doors open out into their outdoor patio. If you happen to get bored of your companions or need a break from conversation they have ample tvs that are usually showing the local sports teams games or sports games in general. If you got something in mind to see on the screen, approach the staff, they are super friendly and won't bite :) If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?!? Stop reading this and head over...NOW! You will not be disappointed. read more

Such a good place- good, friendly folks running it, polite and friendly fellow patrons, they're dog-friendly(!!!!!), and usually they have a good food truck parked out front. Oh, and they brew some highly respectable and delicious beer. I guess that's an important point for a taproom experience. My first trip here I was lucky enough to visit during their tiered "Hallucidation" tap takeover. This is an exceptional Belgian Tripel that is soured, it's rare to find Tripel's being brewed stateside these days, and whoever is behind the brew kettle here knows what he or she is doing. There are plenty of other great beers here as well- their Kölsch is a great example of the style and is a great session drink, the last time I visited they also had a great blueberry sour as well. The only weakness their tap list had was their selection of IPA's- they were all hazy NE IPA's, and I just long for a place in MN to brew a badass west coast IPA. I hope Inbound can make that happen. This is a nitpicking thing because all the beer is quite good. Atmosphere wise, the dog-friendliness factor is huge in my book and they go out of their way to make your pup feel welcome. Demographics wise I always feel a bit out of place as their primary customer population seems to be aged 21-29, but again not a big deal as everyone I've interacted with here have been extremely nice. I've needed to work a few times when I've visited and they have fast free wifi, which is another plus. I can't write enough positive things about this place, visit and experience how great it is for yourself. read more

Inbound is a good place to come with groups large or small because it has a lot of room inside! They are pet-friendly so feel free to bring your fluffy friend. The beer is good and the bartenders were friendly. They let me try a few of the beers before I ordered which I always appreciate. They have board games in the corner if you are looking for additional entertainment beyond just socializing. Overall, very solid choice if you are looking for a brewery! read more

Vast selection of beer to choose from with an open seating environment. Really great vibe and very pet and family friendly. Beer was tasty however I heard great reviews of the banana bread beer but unfortunately they were out so I was unable to try it. Will have to come back next time I'm in town. read more

Literally my favorite brewery. Like... hands down. AmaIng brews, amazing staff amazing vibes! Milk stout is the best but literally it's all amazing. Plus DOGS ARE ALLOWED!!! read more

I haven't been to many breweries in MSP, but this is definitely one of my favorites. I came here with a couple of friends on a Friday night and the place we busy but not packed. I brought my dog and there were 5 or 6 other dogs there, which was great. It was a very welcoming, chill environment and was great for having a couple of beers and hanging out. I had the peanut butter stout, which is one of the best stouts I've had. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

A nice addition to the North Loop. Very close to Target Field. Working nearby and knowing the dismal building this was previously, I was very curious about what they were going to do this space. I have to say that I am very impressed. It now is a very open modern looking and inviting place. Nice job Inbound! Being an IPA fan, I tried the American IPA - very tasty. Also tried the Session IPA and Apricot Ale. Both were good. But, I preferred the American IPA. I will definitely be back. After all - I do work close by. :) read more

Awesome place, super friendly service, and really tasty beers!! The space is really nice and they have a very large selection. Every beer I have had has been unique and delicious, which is not the case at all breweries. I love to get pizza from Black Sheep Pizza nearby and bring it to Inbound to have with my beer. Parking can be a bit of a challenge especially when the Twins are playing so plan accordingly. read more

Great taproom! The Conifer Crush IPA and the Fruit of the Loop are delicious! Will definitely be back when I visit NoLo again!

Always a huge fan of Inbound. Delicious beers, great venue and friendly staff. Bring your dogs, grab a bite from the food truck. Close to Target Field. read more

Inbound is one of my favorite breweries in the Twin Cities. They have a really wide variety of suds on tap (easily the largest brewery offering in the twin cities...yes, even bigger than Surly), including those I would consider "intro craft beers", hoppy elixirs, sour flavor bombs, dark and smooth ales, and those that have hung out in a boozy barrel for months. So they legit have something for everyone, and I know they'll always have something I enjoy on tap. A few of my favorites include the Hibiscus Saison, Apricot Pale Ale, Chocolate Belgian Quad, Super G LOV, and Golden Tea. But the best thing about Inbound isn't even the beer! The staff is a major reason this place is one of our most frequently visited taprooms in Minneapolis, especially Matt and Dan...who deserve an award for the best beer slinging duo in the Twin Cities {take note KOABD}! The other big draw for us is the fact that Inbound is super DOG FRIENDLY! So not only can you enjoy the summer weather with your pooch on the patio, but they can join you inside year-round too! As a dog sitter, sometimes the only way I can get away for an evening is to bring the pack out with us, so we love that Inbound can accommodate that need for us. Our Beagle (Haley) might actually be a bigger fan of Inbound than my husband and I are...and that's saying a lot! She too loves Dan and Matt, because she can always count on them to give her some love and satisfy her treat craving. :) {They often have live music on Saturday nights, so if your dog doesn't like loud noise, it's best to leave them at home.} They're open until Midnight 7 days a week, which I love because sometimes we don't even head out for the night until after some other area breweries are closing.The taproom is super spacious and filled with light during the day, so even when it gets busy, it doesn't feel crowded. If you get hungry, there is often a food truck parked out front, and if you decide you'd like to enjoy your favorite INBC brews at home, they offer bottles, growlers and now crowlers! read more

So, I've been going to inbound since shortly after their opening of their North Loop location, and have always been a fan. That being said, as of late I can honestly say that my appreciation of, and desire to go there, has dropped sharply. Let me tell you why. In the past, Inbound constantly put out new beers, and reworked previous batches. There was an ever-rotating tap list and it was always exciting to try the new offerings. Lately, however, it seems as though Inbound has started to turn the page to the next chapter that a lot of smaller breweries suffer: they became too popular too fast and only do the same flagship beers and nothing else, save for the random trendy offering that isn't done well. Maybe they're focusing more on canning than anything else right now, but where as their catalog in the past had so many incredibly done beers of all different styles, now the only new offerings are the truly not-well-made milkshake beers (come on, guys -this trend is already dead. Move on), and the poor versions of goses. Admittedly, as a brewer myself I think that milkshake beers are gross in the first place and have no place in the industry, but if it's a well made one then who am I to complain. These just aren't that, though. The beer list is fine enough. It's just boring and very uninspired from where it used to be. I honestly don't ever think about coming here anymore when I want a beer, which is a fall cry from the days when I was here numerous times a week. Inbound: please stop with the trendy shit, and go back to some of your earlier beers. I get that you need to sell beer, but the flagships shouldn't number that high on the menu. Which brings me to my next big gripe. You are not a club. You are a brewery where people go to talk and enjoy beer. There really seems to be a case of "What the hell is our identity?" going on with the slew of live music and DJ stuff. The music is INSANELY loud, and if I wanted to have a beer where I have to shout in order to talk I'd go to an actual concert. If you insist on having live music (BUT, WHY?) please turn the volume down. If you ask your bartenders, or look around at the patrons there during these strange nights you can surely see the annoyance and confusion as to why the hell you seem to enjoy having the music at a deafening level. I can't even begin to count how many people I've seen get up and leave because it's so irritating. Future patrons: if you want fine beer that won't blow your mind, don't mind concert level volume music go here. As it stands, though, I can't fully recommend Inbound anymore because I sadly remember what it used to be and how much better it was previously before they only had the same stuff every single day. With so many other options in the area that are putting out good beers and rotating their tap lines, choosing Inbound out of anything other than convenience seems to be far off for now. read more

I came here yesterday and really enjoyed it. It's a little further out from downtown Minneapolis but still very doable walking. It is located near some apartments, if I lived there, I'd be in trouble!! They had a food truck out front, pizza. I got a pizza to share with my husband but probably would have been fine with my own. This brewery was pretty big and had outdoor seating too, and their garage doors open, it was very nice with the breeze. I had an apricot beer which I thought was very tasty. I got an oil drum can to go, for my parents for babysitting. I enjoyed it here and liked the selection of beers. They had fun wall decorations too. I'd go back. read more

If Matt is your bartender, you'd better keep a close eye on your tab. He told us one thing, never gave us an itemized receipt, and we were overcharged $3, and avoided us like the plague thinking we wouldn't notice. I confronted him about it and made him fix it. How dare you tell a customer one thing, charge them a few dollars extra thinking it will go unnoticed by not giving an itemized receipt. Enjoy your big fat zero tip. Do not recommend. Extremely dishonest employees. read more

Love this place for a couple of reasons. The beer is amazing and they always have new stuff to try. The atmosphere is great. You can bring your food, games etc. and makes for a great place to get together with friends to play cards, Catan or whatever. There is always a food truck that changes depending on the day. The venue also has a variety of events throughout the week so depending on the day you go there could be live music or trivia. Groupon offers a good deal for a brewery tour and tasting. If that's available I would definitely recommend doing that.....you get to taste ALOT of beer. The place is also dog friendly if your looking for that. Parking is on the street but I've never had trouble finding a spot. Check it out! read more

I travel around the US and make a point to visit as many breweries as I can, and I must say this is the best brewery I have ever been to. The customer service, beer selection and quality is all ten stars! Any beer enthusiast, this is a must visit! Make sure you find Joe to tend to all your beer needs. Best brewery experience by far. read more

I've been to Inbound Brewing three times now and have loved my experience each time. On my most recent visit, I had my parents with me. We bellied up to the bar and enjoyed chatting with our bartender, Ty, and sharing several beers as part of a pre-Father's Day celebration. Not only were the beers extremely tasty, but Ty was super friendly and provided great service. We will definitely be back to Inbound sometime soon! read more

Awesome beer! A very large brewery with lots of seating. Friendly fast service as well. Will definitely be back here!
