Local brewery. Amazing location, good people, great beer with awesome sunsets over the "hills of Blaine" (ask proprietor, Previn, to tell you the story behind this inside joke). Went to their soft opening last night. Beer, food samples, and a band that played all sorts of songs ending with crown favorite Sweet Carolina. We sampled two of their three beers that they launched with and some pizzas with co-located Tipsy Steers. The beers were pretty good, inside ambiance looks amazing. Tall soaring ceilings makes the space look large up-cycled barn wood decor + steel makes it feel warm yet chic. I predict this to be a place for the Blaine community that is fast growing as well as people from all over the state and world that come to National Sports Center. This review was in my drafts for 3+ years. Better late than never! The place continues to be local favorite, Tipsy Steer (sister restaurant in the brewery) has good food. They both survived the pandemic...yea! Their beers have evolved even further and have made me personally like beer and diversify beyond wine and cocktails. read more

No beer!! There is no brewery here!! Do not go! Wasn't a $40 Uber ride there.... Very rude at the door and didn't even care that we came

As of 7-21-26 - there is no beer at this location! We took an Uber for $30 to here. Family friendly zero beer!!!!!!!!!!

Food is through Tipsy Steer and their menu is always exciting! The shrimp bites are awesome as well as the corn dip. Really enjoyed the variety of options for drinks at Invictus! They even have a creamsicle ice cream option. Patio ambience was nice! Service was good but you order through QR code and people just bring out food-- makes things much efficient especially with food and drinks from like separate vendors. read more

Nice they were connected to Tipsy Steer! There was a pizza special advertised when you walk inside but when we asked the bartender, he knew nothing about it which was strange. It said "2 beers and you get a free or discounted pizza." Well, we paid full price and never got the discount, no system or communication in place with the workers. Also odd they don't seem to know what is happening between them and Tipsy Steer. Nice atmosphere but almost too open for my liking, noise gets so much louder of people talking, they luckily had a connected room to get away from the noise and crowd. Beer was pretty good, and the pizza was ok. Nice casual place to hang out. Looked like they had a patio which is always a bonus. read more

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. read more

I went here with my colleagues for our manager's farewell party. We were unable to RSVP a room a week earlier, but we were able to obtain 3 tables. It was packed on a Friday evening. It was seated yourself. Invictus shares the space with Tipsy Steer, which I'm familiar with their menu from the Roseville location - the same menu. The atmosphere is casual and loud (as mentioned, it was fully packed). Their parking lot was full too, but lots of space was available after 8 pm. Good place to hang out. I would give this place another chance to check it out with my husband and our small group of friends and not a party of 20 people!!! 4 out of 5 stars due to how crowded it was. Some of my co-workers were standing between the 3 tables due to seating availability since it was packed and we had almost 20 people in our group all at once. read more

Came here for a cute dinner date out of town it was a very great experience overall bar service was excellent our bartender recommended the apple beer it was great she was a pleasure to be around !!! read more

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. read more

Great beer and location. It is sad they have to move! I sure hope they find a great new space !! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Order food and beers from your table on the app. Much easier and fun for a group to just add to their tab from the table and a couple of minutes later... bam. Excellent service and loved the beer. Got beer flights for the group to try beers out and then everyone got what they wanted. Highly recommend! read more

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 read more

Best collection of interesting beers in the North metro. Great fire roasted pizzas. Highly recommended!!!

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! read more

I am updating my previous review of Invictus. I've been going here off and on since they opened several years ago since they are my neighborhood brewery. I will now say they do not ever go out of the box to create new beers and many times their flagships are not good. The best brewery we have ever had in Blaine has sadly left the area. Which was Hammerheart. They constantly pushed the envelope as far as being unique. Invictus caters to the sports crowd that really don't know quality brews. So.. if that works for Invictus I get it.. they want to stay safe. I love craft beer and especially brewers that love their craft. Invictus is in it for the money. read more

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! read more

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 read more

I am not a beer drinker and there is a good variety of options for me to drink. They are a nice patio and outdoor bar that opens up to inside, unfortunately they had the doors/windows closed on the day of my visit. You cdd as n order at the bar or from an app at the table and they will deliver to you. If you're hungry you can order food from tipsy steer which share the same building. There are a selection of electric car chargers too! Parking lot fills up quickly and is not that big. read more

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! read more

My family of 8 (including two kids under 3) were looking for a place to hang out for a few hours and a brewery seemed like the perfect place to distract ourselves. We found seating immediately at a large picnic table and pulled up a few extra chairs. We were there pretty early, and that worked out for us because the longer we sat, the more people came in until the place was packed! They had some happy hour menu deals, so I got the margherita pizza which was only $8. It was ok, but the crust was a little thicker and undercooked than I like. I finished my meal off with a sweet and salty milkshake, which was absolutely divine! The shakes are also very large, so split one with someone if you can! My dad and brother really liked the beer, but I didn't get any. I was a little bummed they didn't have a cider or sour option, but such is life. There were several board games available to play, which helped us entertain the kiddos as well! We saw several other small children there, so it's safe to say this place is family friendly. Overall, Invictus was good! I would come back for the milkshakes and ambiance, but if I wanted a drink I would maybe pick a brewery with more beer variety. read more

Extremely over priced for the portions and quality. Meals did not arrive "hot" but warm. Bacon appetizer was not fully cooked and arrived appearing more like a greasy tongue. Milkshakes has great flavor and presentation, well worth $7 and post consumption coma. Overall was not impressed and left without getting a drink due to the high cost for seemingly low quality food. read more

If your looking for a place to charge your electric vehicle, have a beer and good food well this is the place. They have a few charging stations (maybe four) I charged my Mustang Mach E while inside, there was one other Tesla charging when I pulled up. We enjoyed the raspberry beer and some delicious bang bang shrimp. They are following Covid-19 guidelines with social distanced tables, app ordering is a option or you can stand in line to order. read more

If you are ever in Blaine Minnesota. Possible at the sports complex with your kids? Then this is well worth your consideration. The atmosphere was very cool and comfortable. They had a good selection of beers and a dynamic food menu. The onions rings were our favorite. Plenty of merchandise and glassware for purchase. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Also the prices were reasonable! read more

Overall the ambiance was nice, warm, and cozy. The hostess was very welcoming but that was about it. We came for a few drinks and dinner to celebrate a birthday. The drinks were reasonably priced but the flavors lacked a bit in the beer flavor, even with their strongest beer. The food was a mix of hit or miss. The chicken and waffle was a miss, the breading is dry and had no flavor. The cherry honey flatbread was flavorful. The bang bang shrimp was alright. Bacon lollipop was a hit. I'm not sure if I would return by choice. Nothing too exciting or worth going back for but it also wasn't all bad either. read more

Not the worst brewery that we've been to, but it is within bicycling distance of home. The Red was good ($7) but the place is just so noisy. Today we enjoyed their patio, which was awesomely quiet compared to the inside. Not the best bar service, but they were busy on this visit. read more

Great food Great service Great Beer Went during soccer tournaments and had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go back!!

Amazing beer and equally amazing food. Order right from your phone and they bring you your drinks.

Patrick the bartender is always going the extra mile to make me feel welcome and satisfied with my orders. He works with all of his other customers in this way, as well. He makes great suggestions and helps us understand the flavors in the beers and how they might be best appreciated. He knows and understands the beers and processes for making them. He's helped me expand my tastes and now I like more of the beers than I did before. Overall, the staff here is very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. My friends and I really enjoy this place. I've become a regular visitor. There's also great food available in the bar through the Tipsy Steer. read more

This is a great local brewery! I've been here many times and never been disappointed in anything that I've ordered, although my favorite item by far is the Aged Cheddar Bacon Burger. There is a great selection of brews that are frequently changing. The outdoor patio is awesome as long as the weather cooperates, and would be preferable when possible - it can sometimes get a bit noisy inside with the metal roof. As an added bonus there is free EV charging including 4 Tesla chargers and 2 J-1772 plugs as well. Might as well stop in and get some free charging for your vehicle and enjoy a Burger and beer :) read more

On a recent trip though the Blaine area, I decided to check out the local beer scene. I didn't have any specific expectations before coming here, but upon arriving, realized that this place is massive. Parking was a little bit of a challenge in the early evening as the after work crowd was still there, but I did manage to grab a parking spot after a few minutes. Walking in the front door, the place looks huge. Lots of long tables, a massive bar, and a nice outside area (though it was a little cold while I was there to sit outside. If I were only rating the beer, I'd probably have gone with 3 stars as the IPA didn't really do it for me, but what balances it out was the food from the adjoining restaurant. Literally everyone at the bar was munching on a pizza, and you kind of felt left out if you didn't have one! read more

"Beer for the unconquerable soul" is etched into the tall pour glasses and is such a great motto for this brewery. Since being out here, I've spent the vast majority of my time exploring the cities, even though I'm a suburban baby. This was the first time I got a chance to check out a brewery near me and it was wonderful. The place is huge and and filled with communal seating. While I'm not always a fan of such things, I was lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar. They have a solid selection of pretty easy drinking beers. The Avenger is their flagship, at least as it appeared to me, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The standards were there... IPAs, Stouts, lagers, etc. You can tell these guys aren't up to nonsense because there wasn't any kind of coconut-mango-kittens paw flavored concoction of any kind. They outsource the food to Tipsy Steer, which I'm assuming is a local restaurant with an outpost inside here. Excellent choices of comforting bar food. I ordered the small Invictus salad & the bang bang shrimp tacos. The salad was surprisingly good. In my yearly quest to eat better, I thought it would be a good idea to at least try. While I'm not normally a fan of nuts, the roasted pine nuts definitely added flavor and texture to the salad. Now on to the real surprise, the delicious bang bang shrimp tacos. Just fantastic flavor and cooked perfectly. So much for my weight loss kick. I'm thrilled to find a place a mere 10 minute drive from where I stay that I would feel becoming a regular at. read more
