Nine Mile Brewing is a fantastic spot to hang out in Bloomington. I spent some time out on their…read morepatio--it's on the smaller side, but super nice and a great place to sit back. I had their Lemon Shandy, which was absolutely wonderful and perfect for a warm day. For food, I tried the Feisty Goat pizza (goat cheese cream sauce, pepperoni, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a hot honey drizzle) and it was amazing. The sweet heat from the hot honey mixed with the creamy goat cheese is a killer combo. Inside has a great neighborhood garage/hangout vibe with plenty to do--dart boards, pull tabs, and games to play. Definitely a stellar addition to the local taproom scene, and I'll absolutely be back.

What an outstanding variety of beer! They have a lot of really unique flavors and combinations so…read moremuch so that we ended up doing a flight. We came in on a Saturday early afternoon after running some errands. We found parking to be easy and it was a pretty large space! Though by the time we left around 1:00 it was filling up in terms of tables. I saw multiple people working on laptops at the bar. We had the pizza which was quite good - although messy because of the way they do their crust. We also enjoyed the pretzel bites with a split table on mustard vs beer cheese but for $0.75 you can have both.

We stopped my Mana for a quick brew while waiting on a reservation down the street. The first thing…read morewe noticed when we walked in was the TERRIBLE smell. Ive been here several times and im unsure if ive had that before - it was a mix of what I can assume is the hops of the beer and asparagus. It really put a damper on our enjoyment. The beers were wonderful, as well as the staff - but that really stood out to us. To note: they have a great outdoor space to check out if you want to enjoy but also notice the smell.

I got a beer flight and we shared a pickle pizza. The pizza was so good and the beers were so good! It's great when a brewery has the flight opens so a person can try multiple beers on tap. The staff was ready to serve us and was super helpful when deciding which beers to try. I can't wait to come back and try more pizzas on the menu!

We…read moreasked to be seated away from the children's area out of our preference for that day, but they have an amazing play place if you have kids. It was super hot but all or most of the outdoor seating has umbrellas for shade at least and there was live music. Service was very friendly, our server was under 21 and not able to first hand recommend top beers to us but did tell us what was popular. We were also given a couple free samples which is always super nice. We ended up getting a couple 5 oz pours which were only $3 each, a steal. We also tried a couple cocktails, the peach smash and key lime tini, both very tasty. The key lime drink did lean more coconut than lime and it was also on the sweeter side. The spinach artichoke dip was great and I enjoyed my Thai chicken salad. My friend got the Mac and cheese and said it was on the bland side. Food is average but I enjoyed the drinks and vibes. Will definitely be back to chill when the weather is nicer.

It's a place that it's worth going out of your way if needed. The beers: they have some many classics . I love the torpedo honey and the hard seltzers are so good in the summer time. They have live music, trivia nights. Every Vikings game / football game on. They have a huge patio and a separate area that you can rent out or when they get packed they open up!! There is a schedule for food trucks and lots of popular options are there like the pizza buss! Overall support this great brewery in a time in need with rising cost and dry Jan. This location/ brewery will not disappoint!

Parking was terrible - it's all street parking about a block away. The "dog" area leading into the brewery hadn't been clean in a long time. Leaving a very gross smell as your first impression. We sat inside with the garage doors wide open. It was nice, but the sun was blinding. More sun coverage or lowering the doors would have been nice. There was only two non alcoholic options on the menu, a THC drink or coca cola. I ended up ordering a sour and boy was it sour. I didn't end up eating at the food truck, but it seemed to be a different one than what was listed on the website. I feel bad they are closing. I never want to see a small business go under, but this was a lackluster experience for me.
