    Super cute brewery on the river. The tangerine dream sour is so good. They have a variety of snacks and food items too.

    Beautiful waterside location to sip an array of delicious craft beers. The brewer is a chemist and it shows. Good live entertainment too but check their schedule. I'm partial to their list of unique and funky beers, which includes exciting porters and stouts, and Lee's Rope Burn--served with a Twizzler! IPA drinkers won't be disappointed and they've a selection of easy drinkers too.

    Most beautiful brewery setting in Minnesota

    I have been to many a brewery, and this one may have the most beautiful setting. And the beer was good. I quite enjoyed my Oktoberfest and Backroad Hazy IPA. Always a friendly crowd- easy to make friends and you can have your dog outside

    Three flights of tasters.

    Visiting family for the holidays and came down to Outstate for some tasters. Great variety of beers, and all very solid options, making it easy for a wide range of palettes to find something they'll enjoy. I by far prefer the malty dark beers and English style, but I got a flight of their IPAs because I also love trying new things. All four were good, though relatively mellow (compared to the over-hopped IPAs in the PNW). The Dubbel was my finisher for the evening, and was fantastic. The manager, Zane, was great. Attentive service and friendly, happy to geek out about the brewery. One big highlight was the ambiance. The music was loud enough to dull other tables conversation but quiet enough that we could still have our own conversations. Loved it and will be back every time I'm in town.

    apparently not just an MSP problem. STOP stealing, heathens

    Inaugural visit on Friday. The only thing that will keep me from frequenting Outstate as much as I'd like is the nearly three hour one way drive! But...wowee!! They built a tap room, a cabin-esque tap rioom not far from a quiet body of water!! You have a glorious patio to sit on while adoring the peaceful water or sit inside...for the same view. I was so impressed w my first view, before I rounded the corner to the tap room, the wood carved OUTSTATE! The tap room is very well laid out, spacious and open! Beertender Shelly was my BrewsDirector. She falls in to my stance that "no matter how good the beer is, 90% of why I return is because of who's behind the bar!" Shelly was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just an all around pure joy to chat with!! That coupled with how the tap room reminds me of a relaxing cabin... you just feel at ease @ Outstate! The brewer happened to be sitting @ the end of the bar, so got to chat him up! It's always fantastic to meet the person behind the beer, and find out they're a lovely human! Between the conversations, the beer and the comfortable environment... I found myself struggling to get up and leave!.... I felt like I was already home. Thanks Outstate for providing me a tap room experience like no other, and being my 299th brewery... I think that says a lot!! I have already been hassling my city friends to make the nearly three hour drive and check you out!! I tried six beers: Rope Burn, Blue Hawaiian, Pond Hockey, Duck, Grandmas Garden rhubarb sour and Back Road IPA. I thought the Blue Hawaiian seltzer was so refreshing! Not an IPA fan, I really enjoyed the Back Road, it was so well balanced and not in your face piney & bitter! The flight "paddles" are cute little wooden canoes! Looking forward to my next visit to drink some new Shawn-brewed offerings and hopefully more chatting up beertender Shelly!! Cheers Outstate!

    A fun day with the plant ladies!

    We stopped here for a bite to eat after getting plants at Nature's Garden. What a fun spot! Beer choices were great and pizza was delicious. The view was beautiful snd service was great. It might need to be an regulastop!

    Having a great time with family tasting all the different brews on their samplers called flights. Beautiful patio area with fireplace, interior is also a great atmosphere. Tonight, they have a food truck outside serving tacos and a guy setting up to sing Beatles and Dylan, etc. Just a perfect place to relax, hang out and enjoy a couple beers. Really enjoying it!

    Look for Outstate beer in your local liquor store.  AleAdventuresMN on Instagram

    We're so glad Outstate opened up in Fergus Falls! I may be biased; my wife grew up in Fergus, and we want to see this little "outstate" town thrive. Head brewer Pat is dedicated to excellence and authentic styles of beer. His Blue Northern Light Lager is a great gateway beer and best-seller; the Spray Tan sour is a great gateway to sours; the Star Island IPA is a GREAT IPA, and I generally don't enjoy American-style IPAs. The taproom is super cute, warm and friendly with a great view of the river. Outstate is a must-visit whenever we're in town, and I definitely recommend it to anyone else local or passing through!

    This place is gorgeous! Located right on the river it's an incredible place to cozy up to the fire place and and watch the sunset through the huge windowed garage door.

The grounds are enough of…read morea draw to hang out and break up a drive, but the pizza and pretzel were also fantastic. Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

    This brewery is on the same land as the Carlos Creek Winery. I thought it was pretty cool and nice…read morelooking. There's plenty of seating indoors and out. You can order food and drinks. Looks like they are maybe known for pizza as far as food. We ended up getting drinks out on the patio but not sure if that bar maybe went by a different name? Either way, cool place to grab drinks, food & hangout.

    Stopped in at New York Mills newest "brew pub" Continental Divide on a Saturday afternoon…read more Traditionally speaking a brew pub is an establishment that brews their own beer and serves food made in house. This place doesn't actually brew their own beer which was a bit of a bummer. It is actually what I would call a taphouse. Nevertheless they have an insanely good tap beer list. There are many styles of beer to choose from sure to please any palate. They also offer craft cocktails on tap. The decor is beautiful. A very open, inviting, and comfortable space. There are a handful of tables in the front as you walk in and a bar in the back with an exposed kitchen beyond that. We ordered wings, nachos, and pizza. Wings were cooked nicely and the sauce was flavorful but not quite as described. Nachos had a beautiful presentation but were cold. Pizza was OUTSTANDING. This place is super new and has a good base going. I fully expect them ironing out some of the issues with the food. Staff were all very fun and friendly. Didn't have to wait to order food or drinks. I would absolutely visit this spot again as well as recommend

The poutine was SO tasty - it was unlike anything I've ever had, with such a fun Italian twist! The pizza dough was fluffy and delicious, and though the white sauce was a little heavy, it was still quite good. The service was excellent, our food arrived quickly and it was reasonably priced. This is a great small town find!
