Loved the outdoor bar at sunset on a perfect Fall Night. Hockey parent happy hour before a game at the Super Rink. Highly recommend the make your own flight of beers on tap. Generous pours for a fabulous price.

I am a huge beer fan, and this place doesn't do it for me. In today's age of exciting craft beers, the beer here is pretty bland and generic. The bar is spacious and the bartender was very friendly, however. The only saving grace is the Tipsy Steer that also resides here. I'm guessing that these are two separate companies that work together at this brewery. The service was pretty poor, thomost of the servers act like they don't want to be here. Our food was just plopped on the table with no comment, no smiles, no nothing. There is no "Minnesota Nice" here.

I've gone to Invictus multiple times and this will be my second review because it is so good! It's seat yourself and every time I've gone I've been able to find a spot right away. This time, I tried the pickle pizza and birthday cake malt and they were absolute delicious! The service was also great. We got our drinks right away and our food was very quick to come out. 10/10 would recommend! I've never had a bad experience.

Nestled in Blaine, MN is a large taproom containing Invictus and Tipsy Steer. The name comes from its Latin translation for "unconquerable" and is a poem written in 1875 by William Ernest Henley. Beyond being a powerful poem, it is fitting for the delays and challenges the brewery faced, and were able to overcome. Come enjoy the food, the space, and the beer! Gimme That Razz: A Raspberry Sour that tastes like fresh raspberries. It is a glowing red color that shines in the light with refreshing sweetness and tartness. Horror of the Shade 2021: A big and bold Russian Imperial Stout. Huge notes of dark roasted malts with minor players of chocolate and coffee. No astringency from the roasted character, and is very smooth. Hop Throttle: An Imperial IPA brewed with Granite City Brewing and hopped with Sultana / Vic Secret. I've been seeing Sultana used more recently and really enjoying its flavor profile. This IPA expresses sweet pineapple and citrus with enough malt to remind you it's an Imperial IPA. Apple Shine - Guava: This Apple Ale with Guava was freshly tapped the day I visited. It was made with McIntosh apples from Michigan and all the ingredients are gluten free. The guava lends a hint of sweetness providing balance to the acidity and tartness of the base apple ale.

We came here with younger family members who really enjoy breweries. You can order with a QR code from your table or at the bar. They will bring it to your table. We ordered several flights and a single beer. Favorites this time were hard apple cider and hard root beer. We got a can of each of these to go. The seating area is open with picnic tables. You can order food from a restaurant at the same location.

I stop in on Friday's @ 11a open, before the rush! The beer is always delicious, staff are friendly and ambiance comfortable! I always have the same beertender, Ally, and she is just lovely!! I've been in once on a Sunday morning: the place quickly FILLED up!! As I visually inventoried, I was one of only about three tables that didn't have food, just beer!! Beware: apparently this is where Blaine brunches!! The tap room is plenty spread out. There is a patio ...I will drink on this summer. If you're unsure which beer to try; I appreciate that the tap list is broke down by style and the beertenders have always been helpful when I ask about a beer. Thanks Invictus for consistently stellar service of delicious beer, poured by friendly and knowledgeable staff in a comfortable and inviting tap room. Cheers

Invictus is in the same building as tipsy steer. Perfect pairing if you ask me! I was a bit confused on the ordering process at invictus. I went through the motions to order via phone, order did not come. Went up to the bar and if appears I missed the final step for completing the order, which was told to me that it happens a lot. Never the less the atmosphere was perfect and the service was great!

It's so awesome having a big brewery like Invictus Brewing up north in Blaine, MN! They have their own parking lot and have so much indoor seating. Probably the most I have seen from a brewery! I also love their outdoor patio in the summer time. They have tons of beer to choose from and some really good seasonal beer. My favorite are the sour options in the summer time! They have Tipsy Steer restaurant inside and I am a huge fan! Elevated brewery food and something for everyone. My kids favorite is the seasonal shakes they have that are huge and have a slice of cake or brownie on top! This is a really family based brewery with lots of kids as it is so close to the huge soccer fields so in the summer you will see lots of kids in between games. Just a super good chill vibe all around with a good selection of beer!

Nut goodie beer with friends nothing better

Good place and lovely sports. If you like the tipsy steer restaurant as well you can grab a bite well getting some hand crafted brew. Service is great, friendly and prompt in a rustic environment.

Outside of the building, view looking north.

A great first time visit - 4 stars! I arrived to try food at The Tipsy Steer and I was surprised to see they share the same giant building with Invictus. Great, a two-for-one! Invictus is a huge facility with tons of interesting beer varieties. I asked the bartender to pick 4 completely different beers for my flight - bartender's choice. All 4 were completely different, as promised. She even lined them up from light to dark. All 4 were great, not a single clunker in the bunch. These folks also have a cooler with beer-to-go and a small area with Invictus merchandise. By far the coolest thing is the fact that they share a space with The Tipsy Steer. They offer excellent food to enjoy along with your beer. They're definitely a step up from the usual food scene. (I'll address the details in a separate review. Thumbs up! -Maxx

This place was a pretty big open garage. It was perfect for a brewery. They have a food stand inside, so you don't have to worry if a food truck will be there or not. The beers was pretty mellow for me. I was hoping for a little oomf. Nada. This place is perfect for anyone that likes easy drinking brews that are not overly hoppy or flavorful. Positive, there were no harsh aftertastes on any we tried. The food at Tipsy Steer was pretty nice. We tried the chicken pesto pizza and the raspberry Brie chicken melt with fries. The pizza was our fav... Very flavorful. We fought over who took the leftovers home. The melt wasn't so melty... the chicken in it was nice thick pieces, but would have been better a little crispy. The fries were perfect!

Ask the Community - Invictus Brewing

Do they serve food or are there local food trucks?

Tipsy Steer is a restaurant sharing the building with the brewery but you wouldn't know that by reading the reviews. If you click the website link it's pretty clear.

Is the patio dog friendly?

It was delicious and I wish it would still be available. We also got the Spicy burrata pizza and the spinach dip cheese bread. My dad got a beer flight and I enjoyed the raspberry lemonade seltzer and the apricot mango peach smoothie sour. We went on a weekend so we were also there when you could get coffee and breakfast til 2 so I also got a coffee to enjoy that was also delicious. It was an iced cookie butter latte with vanilla cold foam. It was quite busy inside but we got our food pretty fast and didn't have to wait very long. We did get the last table also available for 4 people and it was nice to be able to have room to sit and enjoy our pizza and drinks. They also have outdoor seating and it's heated in the winter.

The staff are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I finally had a pizza today, the Cluckin Chicken. I didnt want to make extra work for the kitchen so i picked off the onions. With all the ranch dressing it made it ideal to break off the crust & dab it in it, nice. A few standard tables & high tops. Parking is easy around all sides of the building. I like Omni a little more than i thought i could, is that a thing? When after doing some googling i found out several years ago when i would somewhat frequently pop in @ open & always sat near the corner, where an employee also was...so id chat him up about beeriness. He was always friendly & informative & never once slid in: hey im justin... co-owner justin. We always just chatted like two beer enthusiasts. Its this thing i do... & rarely ever ask a name. Thanks Omni for consistently having friendly staff pouring delicious beers in a comfortable & welcoming tap room, cheers.

They know how to do beer! The day I went they ended up having Drag Bingo which was a fun addition.

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.
