Stopped in here after visiting a local apple orchard. I have never been here, but was pleasantly surprised. The pretzels and beer cheese were some of the best I've had. The loaded fries was another dish worth mentioning - super tasty. Everything came out hot. My partner and friend ordered a bloody and loved it. I'm not a fan of bloodies, but this is one of the best bloodies I've ever tried. The service wasn't anything spectacular, but I care more about the quality of food. Checked all of my boxes. It's not convenient for me, but I would go again.

Modern brewpub and sports bar that is in a kind of remote location but I feel is worth a look if you're in the area. We want for a walk on the very nice state trails in the area and decided to stop in to try this place we'd heard a lot about. Very open and modern dining room with a smaller, dog friendly, covered patio. Everyone was very nice and we even met the chef. He was super excited to talk about the portobello sandwich I ordered. Service was kind of slow but we were the only one on the patio at opening and had to go grab our own silverware so think we where kind of forgotten. We got a beer flight and I'll say this was probably our least favorite thing. Most of the darker beers were pretty thin and just slight variations on the same "watery" base. The cream ale was the best and was very carbonated; almost like a cream soda. The pretzel sticks were surprisingly good. Very light and airy while still having a nice thin crust with a bit of chew. Almost like a cross between a fluffy pub style a less sweet, chewy ballpark. The beer cheese was ok but I think it suffered from the less-flavorful beer mentioned before. It needed some black pepper and hot sauce or pepper flakes to liven it up. That cherry mustard was amazing, though. I ended up eating some with a spoon. Sweet, tart, and a touch of bite. 10/10. I was pleasantly surprised by the portobello sandwich. The bread was a very soft Italian style that wasn't quite as chewy as normal ciabatta. Like it was enriched to almost brioche level. Super good. The portobello itself was brined 2 days and cooked perfectly. Nice texture and there was plenty of it. It didn't curl up or shrink into a sad puck like a lot of places. The aioli was very flavorful as well. Side Caesar salad was tasty. Kind of a Caesar/Greek hybrid with olives, red onion, tomatoes, and croutons. Not overly dressed and flavorful. Overall was pretty good and would definitely come back if I'm looking to watch a game or am biking/hiking in the area. Very hit or miss with some stuff though. The disappointing beer and spotty service probably brings the score down a star.

I recently visited Iron Exchange and overall, it was a decent experience. There is planets of parking and space inside that includes a bar, dining area and space in front of a stage where live music is featured. They also have a decent sized patio for when the weather is nice. The have a wide range of their own beers to choose from and that you can create your own for poor sample for $12, which was a definite plus. Their food menu was pretty extensive, offering a variety of options. The loaded tater tots we had as an appetizer were a great start to the meal. They were delicious and definitely worth trying. Amongst our group we tried two small pizzas, which were just okay, the Cubano sandwich, which was quite large and packed with meat. Unfortunately, the fish tacos were lackluster and it was odd that they didn't come with a side of chips, making the presentation look extremely bare. For $17 I expected a bit more. I also have to mention that the table service felt a bit disorganized and scattered. There were noticeable gaps in terms of being checked on by the staff which I think was a possible result of utilizing waitresses and food runners at the same table. I think that iron exchange is likely a fairly solid option when dining out in the Maple plain area, but not a place I would make a special trip in the future.

Impromptu stop in today. I talked over the tap list w friendly bartender Tyler. Then opted for porters; vanilla and coconut. Tyler asked if I wanted them mixed or separate? I opted for them separate but an empty glass. They weren't bad beers but I did prefer them as one. I like the layout and all the natural light of the bar. From the bar you also have a view of the kitchen and the brew house! I really appreciated the lower padded barstools around the bar!! It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, so an ideal afternoon to check out Iron Exchange. Thank you Iron Exchange!

The second brewery I tried while in River Falls was Rush River Brewery. A huge taproom with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. All around you felt like you were in the middle of a brewery with equipment and materials backdropping the seating area. Had a great conversation with the bartender who used to work for a couple of breweries in Minnesota. With the ability to choose how many beers you want in your flight (and different flight boards for different sizes), I went with five. Light: A traditional Kolsch with a light body, mild fruity flavor / aroma, and low white bread dough flavor. Crisp and refreshing. Double Bubble: A Double IPA that they consider the 'bigger brother' to the IPA Bubblejack. Packed full of hops including Centennial and Cascade. A hint of honey sweetness from the local honey addition (three pounds per keg), big DIPA body, medium bitterness, medium bubblegum, medium-low tropical flavor. Big and bold DIPA. Dessert Dessert: A Berliner Weisse with a rhubarb flavor that you don't get often in a Berliner Weisse. Strawberry / rhubarb flavors, with an acidic prickly pear aroma. Arise: A smooth Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout. The stout is dark in color, medium-high body even with a smooth (no alcohol-burn) mouthfeel, and rich in flavor. Vanilla and oak is present, with a semi-sweet chocolate flavor. Limelight: A Lime Kolsch that I got on recommendation from the bartender. This beer is one of the newer tapped ones. A lemon-lime flavor is present, with the body still being light and crisp. Hint of spicy fruit in the flavor. Very light acidity (not to a fault) from the lime. I had a great time and would be back for sure!

tiny straws

My Diet Coke had the classic plastic straw (lazy/turtle killing vibe). 2.5 was bumped up to 3 due to the tiny double straws (love) in the cocktails and the cloth napkins.

Brew Pub Hot Dish! So good!

Maybe premature First impression was quite good Hope to get back soon Nowadays, unless I am traveling I tend not to give a review after just one visit to an establishment. However, I haven't been able to go to many new places this year for obvious reasons and am itching to write some reviews. Pulled up shortly after three. Parking lot was empty, but lights were on inside. My media sources indicated they were open at the time. Walked in to find staff doing a bunch of cleaning. Asked if I could sit anywhere. Was told not open for customers until four. Went to another somewhat nearby establishment and came back at five. No reservations required, but assigned seating. All staff was wearing masks and gloves. Had one of their West Coast IPA's. Nice and piney just the way I like it. Ordered the Beer Pub Hot Dish for dinner. Bartender said I ordered the best thing on the menu. Can't argue with her. Best thing I've had to eat in quite awhile. Ultimate comfort food. Would love to see Guy and Triple D hit this place up! I'll be back for more for sure.
