It's a good stop for bikers as it's near a trailhead. The bartender was friendly and helpful, really liked her! She also let us sample anything we wanted and it was hard to choose a beer, because every one I tried was so good! Finally settled on the smooth and delicious porter although the orange saison was really good. They have snacky food like pretzels, cheese and meat sticks and you can order food in from a nearby restaurant. We opted for the cheese, made locally, and were happy we were given a small charcuterie board to use. Overall, if you're driving through, it's a fun, cool place to stop by!

Marcus was my friendly beertender who helped guide me building my flight. He said Firewood was a smoky beer, not really smoky. I said i wasnt a fan of such beers, but if its subtle enough... so it was added to the four pour flight of Buckthorn, Hazy Hills & Amber Buck. Surprise!! It was the victor of the four pours!! I really like the tap room; spacious and comfortable. I appreciate the open garage door to the patio. All three behind the bar were friendly and so cute in the German garb for Oktoberfest. Thanks Marcus & Bluff Brothers for making my 369th brewery a memorable one, cheers.

Two Fathoms Brewing is an independent craft brewery in Winona, MN, located in a restored 1883 freight station in the historic Driftless region. they offer a rustic taproom experience with some great brews. "Anybody Want a Peanut?": A Porter made with real peanut butter and milk chocolate giving it the depth of flavor with none of the artificial tastes. New Riders of the Pilsner Haze: A New Zealand Pilsner hopped with Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, and SubZero Hop Kief. The Owl Farm Experiment: An Experimental IPA brewed with Strata, Mosaic, and Galaxy. Tropical fruit smacks you in the face with citrus and peach coming in the next round. The Diesel Fitzgerald: A Dunkel using Midnight Wheat and Dark Munich malts. It is a beautiful Dark Wheat lager that is light in bodied but full in flavor. Crooked Slough: A Barrel Aged Stout aged Eighteen Months in Bourbon Barrels that were still wet with Vermont Maple Syrup. Very maple forward, but not hot or overly sweet. ___

We visited Sylvan Brewery in April while exploring the quaint town of Lanesboro. Although the trees…read morehadn't bloomed yet, you can tell this place would be absolutely stunning once spring is in full swing--nestled right in the scenic bluff country. The brewery itself is really well-built with a cozy, welcoming vibe. There's plenty of seating inside, plus a great outdoor area that I can imagine would be perfect on a warm day. They offer a great variety of beers to suit most palates. We tried a flight that included: * Lanesbrew American Lager - Crisp and super refreshing, one of our favorites. * Willow Citrus Wheat Ale - Light and citrusy, great for an easy sip. * Gnarly Old Ale - Rich, flavorful, and full of character--definitely a standout. * Butterbeer Weisse - A fun, slightly sweet way to wrap things up. It made a great final note to the tasting. On top of the drinks, they also offer pizza and a few snacks onsite, which is a nice bonus if you're feeling a little hungry while you sample. Overall, Sylvan Brewery is a solid stop if you're in or around Lanesboro. Great beer, good vibes, and I'm sure the view gets even better as the season turns. Would definitely return!

They provide traditional styles, a great space both inside and out, and a very welcoming staff. I grabbed a flight and went outside to soak up sun and enjoy the beers. Lazy Day IPA: A Juicy New England IPA with medium citrus and medium-low bitterness. A hint of spice and a bit of sweetness from a lactose addition. Frontage Road Toasted Coconut: A Stout with toasted coconut additions - a variation on their standard Frontage Road Stout. Medium-high coconut and toasted nut flavors, low dark coffee bitterness, and hint of vanilla sweetness. Body on the lighter side which makes it possible to enjoy on a warm sunny day. Golden Coffee Ale: A Golden Ale with medium-high coffee bitterness, light black pepper, and mild nutty / floral finish. Very refreshing with strong coffee flavors in a lighter bodied beer without being astringent and my favorite of the four! Serendipity: A house made Ginger Beer sitting at 4.6% ABV. You don't see a Ginger Beer on tap very often so I had to grab it. This one had lemon and lime added, and they use it as a base for ginger beer based mixed drinks as well. This had a lighter ginger flavor with high carbonation. Would love to try it in a cocktail! ______________________
