Cabin Season- would not recommend

We stopped in for a pizza and beer while visiting Fargo. We had the cabin season. Neither of us finished our beer. Would recommend the atmosphere and pizza though.

This brewery has decent parking, which I always appreciate. I was able to find space to sit even during a busy part of a Saturday. Staff was attentive and helpful. Beer selection is good and covers a wide variety of options. I liked every beer I had there. I left my tab open when I got up to pee, so they double-charged me for my first round. I didn't notice until a few days later when I was at home and looking at my accounts. I get why they did this, but it was disappointing.

I e had beer from these guys plenty of times at bottle shares and beer festivals.. but today was the first time visiting the brewery. Cool little spot in a small town on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. Cool artwork inside and outside. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside and two bars.. one on either side. Lots of choices on tap and in cans and bottles. They also make and sell CBD products (not for onsite consumption). The guys and gals working the bar were great! Fast and efficient, friendly and helpful... and there's free popcorn!

First off service was so good. We brought our dogs in and sat down in the corner. One of the staff checked on us frequently and helped with a few things I was looking for. The beer was very good. They have a really cool area you can take old sticker beer labels and make postcards they will send out for you. That is one of the most unique things I have seen at a brewery. We went on the Fourth of July and the restaurant next door unfortunately wasn't open. We loved our experience and will go again if we are in the area.

Great atmosphere, great beer, great vibe. Excellent service. Kid friendly. Love their 'make a postcard' station where you use their beer label stickers and make a postcard and they mail for you.

a variety of beers

One of the best breweries in Minnesota, if not the best! There isn't much that they don't absolutely crush! They have their flagship brews, but their rotation of beers and frequency is unmatched. There is a board that shows you what is coming out next. I'm in this area every 2 weeks from the Twin Cities for business and they always have new beers, amazing! They just don't brew anything that blows. I'm not sure who their Brewmaster is, but he or she should be cloned.

more cool murals

My inaugural Junkyard visit was my last stop of my Thursday brewery tour so I was quite chatty and beertender Tyler was more than patient and accommodating with me. I was asked several people what they were drinking to which Tyler would say "I told you, you can sample anything!". As a fan of sours I opted for the Melting Skulls. I had three more beers that were all just as delicious! The very well balanced Basket Weaver IPA, Nutty Little Fella and Lou Dogg Hefe. I really liked the tap room, so spacious w garage doors open and the fun murals!! Parking was a breeze at the large lot across the street. They have a nice big patio out front. Tyler was friendly and took great care of me, a few other staff I talked to were also kind and helpful. Thanks Junkyard for the delicious and fun first visit. Cheers!

While in Fargo-Moorhead for Rare Beer Picnic, I made sure to get out of bed to join other craft beer nerds for the release of Double Barrel Aged King Size and Double Barrel Aged Midnight Spider at Junkyard Brewing. Rather than getting the bottles and running back to the hotel, I chose to sit and enjoy myself with a few half pours of their amazing beers in addition to chomping down a bigger plate of popcorn that I probably needed. Double Barrel Aged King Size: A Peanut Stout aged in two consecutive sets of freshly dumped Willet bourbon barrels, and then transferred to a new set of freshly dumped Willet bourbon barrels. Through the double barrel aging I get a lot of barrel character including licorice, oak, and bitter chocolate that plays well with the roasted nut flavors that are strong in the non-barrel aged version. King Size is my favorite PB Stout, and this brought out a TON of complex flavors not in the OG. Double Barrel Aged Midnight Spider: An Imperial Stout double barrel aged in the same manner as DBA King Size. The base stout was brewed with roasted barley and conditioned on cocoa nibs, black walnuts, and marshmallow. The base beer is tasty in its own right, but the aging brings out the Rocky Road Ice Cream feel even more with some maple, oak, and vanilla flavors accentuated. Mild bitterness shown more - think dark bakers chocolate and roasted nut.  Wicked Awesome Slurry: An Imperial Double IPA hopped with Eureka and El Dorado. High haze, fluffy body / mouthfeel from Wheat additions, and high tropical juice and bitterness. The name doesn't lie - this is some wicked awesome slurry of dankness and citrus. _____________________

Cheat codes.... oh yeah that takes me back!

Junkyard is an excellent brewery in which I tried several of their beers and found so much satisfaction from them. Their fruited sours are very good. I had a blueberry fruited sour which was very good and the Slurpee/Icee version of beer was also a lot of fun to drink. I've also had an IPA. A New England one, one involving game codes in the title which was very tasty and a very enjoyable beer to drink. Junkyard is a solid brewery providing beer that helps you kick back and relax!

Lisa H.

We are excited to step foot into Junkyard! We really like what they brew up. We get select beers when they deliver to the cities from Moorhead. Today we got one we have had our eye on, the Queens of the Potluck, an ambrosia flavor beer. We stopped in today and they had it, but they were running low. So SCORE for us!

We were devastated but decided to try this place out and man it delivered and MORE. I love sours, I cannot get enough of sours, and this place has SO many on tap. I was in heaven. I did a flight in the main brewery area, saddled up near some arcade games and enjoyed the vibe and feel of the place. It reminds me of so many of the breweries that I love down in the Twin Cities. The logo, simply amazing. This is such a fresh take on a brewery and to see in North Dakota is refreshing. After finishing our first round we ventured over to the brewhalla/market area? Can't recall what it was called but man we could've spent hours in that section. We did a little shopping, tried some other beers that weren't available in the taproom (more sours!!!) and grabbed some food to snack on as we walked. My husband was a big fan of the oysters - who would've thought? Having the hotel attached as well was genius. Next time we're in town, we're staying there! Can't wait to stop in when we're back in town.

What a wonderful example of the specialized Martini trend made famous through the 90s and early 2000s. We also sampled a Swedish and Danish delicacy known as aquavit. If you are a fan of licorice or ouzo, give this delightfully pungent and aromatic beverage a try. We sampled it straight up, they may have it as a mix in for a drink but I'm not sure. Overall this place is a great experience and really knows their stuff. It was a joy to visit here and I think about it frequently when I remember my trip to Fargo.
