    Burgers from Burger Daddies food truck on the patio

    So many good things to say about Insight Brewing! The beer rotation offers something for everyone and they even offered hard seltzer cocktails the last time we were there (highly recommend). The taproom is very big with plenty of seating. They host some of the best events (trivia, movie nights, live music, etc.) and the staff is so nice! The patio is dog friendly and often has a great food truck available! There is neighborhood parking and a small parking lot available. I've attached photos from their October Friday night movies on the patio complete with bonfire s'mores, free popcorn and good times!

    Love this sight. Great food trucks, selection of their brews , outdoor seating. Great staff. All communities welcome including the GLBT+ community. A large indoor seating area with high ceilings. Games, activities, games, music, and various entertainment are part of its success. Dogs welcome

    A few choices

    Nice selection of brews in this well established brewery. Watch for outdoor events held in their large parking lot. On the day I visited the outdoor bar was open for a beautiful sunny no rain type of day. All the taps are outside and you won't miss anything. There is limited food truck service. There are a few coffee brews and others with citrus and other non-traditional beer flavors which is not my cup of t..ah mug? It's a big hit for those weaning off of their pop days. There are enough ales and lighter brews for the rest of us who aren't an Alpha or Millennial. Outdoor area has plenty of tables, but they are in the sun. There is a traditional square bar with high stools with tarp cover.

    Another year another Pub Pass. I love that they allow dogs so we brought our grand pup. Lots of pups hanging with the owners. Great beer and great staff. It is so helpful when the staff recommends beer based on my mood. I chose the Drift, looking for an easy to drink hoppy beer and it was very good. We got a snack from the food truck and played a game of Euchre while we enjoyed the beer. Laid back, relaxing afternoon.

    Patio is fantastic and outdoor bar! Inside also has a large bar area. Plenty of other seating as well. Rotating food trucks daily. Good variety of beverages even for the non beer drinker. Friendly service but bartender could not explain why my $6 beer came to $7.81, said 12% tax, I assume gratuity but it asked for that too? Anyways great chill spot worth stopping by.

    Another brewery checked off the list! I had the hazy IPA and picked up a couple crowlers for at home. They have plenty of good beers and tons of seating. Bartenders are nice and they even have a food truck some days. Parking can be a little tricky due to the small lot. I want to come back in the summer, their patio looks nice.

    My husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, without kids. I had delicious beers and we played cribbage. I had the critically excited, vibe, and slam dunkleweizen. We played cribbage in a booth, great place to hang out. They had an outdoor patio too. Also had tabs if you wanted to do some gambling. Skol.

    Went last night with a pal! Monday night bingo drew in a lot of people, so the place was popping. Had a couple beers and tried the loaded fries from the food truck. Fries were a little overpriced, but still worth it. Will return!

    A big taproom with to go beers ready in a cooler and staff wondering throughout we're just a few reasons I'll absolutely be coming back. We visited during their 5th anniversary and although it was packed, the flow of the lines to get beer were a breeze. I tried 3 beers during this visit. The first two were their special released barrel Raspberry Vanilla and Coffee cake beers. These were dark beers with powerful whiskey/bourbon heat in the undertones. Unfortunately they were not more than a one time order for myself. My final and now new favorite is their Banshee Cutter. A coffee golden ale that was smooth, flavorful and not bitter or too hoppy. It's a great sipping beer and light enough to order a couple more. I opted for the nitro pour and it's easily my favorite way to enjoy a coffee style beer. The staff was polite/calm and handled the craziness of the event with ease. Glasses and trash was consistently being taken out. I can't wait to visit again.

    Goats in the parking lot!  (And a hazy ipa)

    Insight is such a solid place to go for a beer. They have a lot of variety to find something for everyone. Well made beers and friendly beertenders. They do a lot of fun events, which, for me, sets them apart and makes me prone to return visits. Goats in the parking lot, pop up markets, Mario Kart 64 on the projector, beer release parties with local sports figures on occasion, and much more.

    SO good! We have a Pub Pass so we can try different breweries out. Tonight we got our first stamp in our pub pass and we both really enjoyed our beers. The raspberry pineapple tart wheat was VERY good. Even got a can to bring home. We will be back for sure!

    WHO: Myself, two of my besties, and their cute little family! WHAT: Beer o'clock! WHEN: Two weeks ago! WHERE: Insight Brewing of course! WHY: The perfect opportunity to scope out the local brewery scene! Seeking to take-in some of the Twin Cities brewery scene my fellow brewery-goers and I decided to stop by and give Insight Brewing a try. I loved the space! The inside is very open with a slightly industrial-modern feel. They have an assortment of games to play during your visit too. We chose to head outside and take up some of the sunny weather on the moderately sized patio. They have a variety of food trucks that set-up shop out front. During our visit Lu's Sandwich, a Vietnamese truck arrived. The brews were fun an creative. I sampled Crazy Aunt which is a gin and tonic style ale. So unique! Def one of those polarizing brews though; you'll either love it or hate it. While I really enjoyed the unique flavor, I just wasn't in the mood for a full pour of it; so I opted to sip on the Sunken City. Sunken City is a saison with Sauvignon blanc grapes. It was quite tasty! Others in our little group opted for Splendid Moose and the Lager. The only thing we found a bit awkward during our visit were the beertenders. When we approached the bar to browse the tap list they asked us if "we knew what we'd like", when we said "no", that it was our first visit", they turned their backs and continued a conversation they were having. It just struck all of us as odd because typically when you say it's your first visit somewhere they offer assistance with their menu or make recommendations based on the styles you enjoy. Oh well, I didn't find it as off putting as others in my group. I def enjoyed my visit to Insight Brewing and would gladly come back to sample more of their offerings on a future visit to Minnesota! Cheers!

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.

We especially enjoyed the roped off area outdoors as we got a perfect weather day for our event.

Special shout out to Bri who was incredibly attentive, available and communicative throughout our event. Thank you, thank you. Would recommend over and over.

It actually looks like an old elementary school building. Food is available next door and seems to have a rotating food truck, but the brewery itself doesn't appear to have food directly. Lots of brews to choose from and has coffee in the morning. I tried a mango wheat and hubs had a milk and cookies stout. I would have liked mine a bit better if it was toned back on the hoppy flavor, but it was still decent. This place is VERY kid/family-friendly. Not that that's a bad thing, just more for awareness that kids are readily running around, in case that does have an impact on your choice to go one way or another.

It's a big space for working remotely with lots of different tables and comfy nooks. Coffee was good enough and there are snacks, not meals, though they typically have a food truck parked out back.

I enjoyed the gingerbread latte while working and a friend met me after. I came another time after work when I enjoyed the salted caramel stout - highly recommend, esp if you find IPAs to be bitter as I do. It was good! Noticed they sell thc gummies and beverages and beer to go, plus lots of their own merch. There's 2 pool tables, pin ball machines, foosball, board games, and other games to play. They activate event nights often, like trivia, yoga, networking, etc., and even pet adoption events. It's very dog friendly, so expect to be among them. It's also family friendly and I noticed couples with their small kids, parents and grandparents, etc. Staff are friendly. Self ordering at the counter.
