We got here at opening on a Sunday. We sat at the bar but there was a variety of seating. The bartenders were friendly and helpful with our questions. My husband and I each got a flight. He really liked the shapeshifter and one of the bartenders suggested a mix of half shapeshifter and half Hang Tang which is a sour. It was quite tasty. I liked the Hang Tang. When we are in the area we will stop by again. read more

In Chisago City you will find Uncommon Loon. A newer brewery on the scene, they have a wide variety from the ever popular sours and IPAs to the classics like Blonde and Amber Ales. Inside is ample seating, though I didn't get to enjoy their lovely outside space due to the heat. I took advantage of some bar seating and ordered a flight. Peanut Gallery: A Peanut Butter Porter that takes an American Porter and infuses it with chocolate and peanut butter. As I have said before, I can't resist a PB Porter. This one has a toasted bread crust / roasty malty profile without any astringency. The chocolate provides mild sweetness to balance the malt body with the nutty flavors coming from the peanut butter. Very smooth beer. ShapeShifter: I asked the beertender what their favorite IPA was, and they chose this one for me and it didn't not disappoint. A Double Dry Hopped IPA popping with tropical fruit aroma. Each sip was refreshing notes of mango and citrus. A mild bitterness tapes the juicy hops. Uncommon Blonde: A staple from the brewery, this Blonde Ale is brilliantly clear with a lot of flavor for its lighter body. Low bitterness with some mild grain sweetness. Refreshing on the hot day. Hang Tang: A Kettle Sour infused with fruit punch. Reminds me a of a tart version of fruit punch Kool-aid. Some sweetness of tropical fruit with a mild tartness. Reminds me of childhood sipping on fruit punch on the patio. read more

After a long day of skiing at Trollhaugen, we headed over here for a beer to defrost and warm up. A non-pretentious, local brewery feel welcomed us at Uncommon Loon. Plenty of tables and couches available to suit your needs/party size. We cozied up to the bar and ordered the Cream Ale and the Tropical Sour. Both were great! We downed those and loved onto the Peanut Butter Porter and Nut Brown Ale. Delicious!! Service was super kind, responsive, and laid back! I wish we didn't live so far away so we could stop by more often! read more

Uncommon Loon - Cream Ale - Breweries Near Me - Chisago City, Minnesota

This place was great! Awesome beer and just a cool vibe. We were visiting from Texas and loved it.

Talk about great service and ambiance! The bartender was welcoming and quickly asked what suggestions she could make based on our likes. The selection was great, but not too broad. The ambiance was nice and even with the fall weather the garage doors were open and we were able to sit outside. Everything was clean and immaculate, there was even a healthy stack of clean coaster on every table. It was a great space for all parties (singles, families, couples and dogs). The ambiance was welcoming and many strangers were making new friends at the bar. The beer was tasty, the Blood Orange was clearly made "from scratch" and not from syrup. We stumbled upon this place from our Hop Passport, but spent our monies worth with crowlers to take home and merch. A nice touch as well we're the tastefully curated local artist exhibits. They even had a simple "leave a suggestion box" in the entry way. read more

Awesome brewery - they host a lot of fun activities here and the beer is pretty darn good!

Exceptional beer! I ordered the tropical sour and was blown away. Perfect fruitiness with that tinge of sour flavor that I've come to really love in the summer. When I visited, they had Center City Swine Circus serving up eats. Beer and BBQ... what's better? I got three ribs and potato salad. They were fall-off-the-bone tender. The chef knows what he's doing and is confident with his product! This place is dog-friendly indoors and out, with a spacious patio and event center. It's worth the drive! read more

A great brewery! We don't live by but my husband and I went on a date evening. We wanted to find some beers out this way and this place was awesome. The outside isn't your typical brewery as I think it used to be an old fire station. The inside is large so plenty of room to spread out. The beers we got were really good. We like light and sour beers. If you're passing through or wanting something different I would recommend uncommon loon. We even did a firepit class! read more

A great stop to grab a beer or hang out with friends if you're ever passing by Chisago City! They had some fun flavors and I happened to get the cream ale, and it was everything I expected it to be for a cream ale. Our group all got different shades of beer and I thought it was a funny coincidence, my cream ale is on the far left :) They also had a little fish art gallery which was my favorite part. read more

Stopped for a brew on my way home from a ski trip up north and uncommon look did not disappoint. I tried one of their IPAs and it was cold, crisp, and delicious. they had quite a big selection of beers and lots of seltzer flavors as well! The bartenders were nice and friendly. The vibes inside were decent, not too crowded and had some cool loon-y decor inside. If I were in chisago, it'd be on my list to stop by. read more

Uncommon Loon - Breweries Near Me - Chisago City, Minnesota

Great beer selection! It's a fun place, not to crowded and I like that you can bring your own food there.

WE LOVE IT HERE. Home away from home with fantastic beer and service. They usually have about 15 beers on tap, including their most popular Shape Shifter IPA. Comfortable and spacious facility, indoor and out. There are multiple other rooms to host events, workouts, weddings etc. The owners are great and friendly. They are very passionate about their beer! They allow dogs inside and out.... GREAT! Bring your own food, or watch their Facebook page for a food truck. They are very active on social media and update their website often. Very family, kid and dog friendly, with non-alcoholic options, along with small snacks. There is a room in the back with many games and extra tables. All staff is diligently wearing masks during these times and will refuse anyone who won't wear one. (They have them there if needed). The bathrooms are always clean and you can see the servers waking around sanitizing, all day long. They promote local artists and photographers by showing and holding their work. Overall, fantastic place to be if you're in the area. read more

We picked up food at Deutschland Meats in Lindstrom. Came in just after noon and a Friday. No one there so felt safe from the virus. The bartenders were very nice and helpful. I had a flight of four that was very good. The Cream Ale, Wild Rice, and red were awesome. The stout was a little too hoppy but otherwise ok. Two of the owner/brewers spoke with us and I got a little tour. We also got some broasted chicken from next door so we spent more time and had another pint. It is a really cool building and fun adventure. Can't wait to go back. read more

We went here on a Saturday afternoon because I have Craftapped and we were on our way to a wedding at the Franconia Sculpture Garden. They had a panini food truck outside and there were crafts being sold due to the holiday weekend. I really liked the flagship hazy ipa. My man got another style ipa that I didn't care for. The panini place had the smallest panini I've ever seen. We say outside and the space was really nice. I would stop back if I was in the area! read more

This is a really cool brewery...the only thing is that I wish they had more beer options and wine or spirits for those that do not like beer. I get that it's a brewery but it would be nice if they expanded their options. They also have a room where they host yoga/workout classes!! And they sell cute shirts and have tons of games for guests to enjoy! Love this place for group gatherings! read more

This is absolutely by far one of the best breweries we have been to! I wish we lived closer. Very kid friendly, tons of board games to choose from to play if you wish.

We've been waiting for a decent brewery on the way northeast metro, yeah at 30 miles north it's a drive.... unless you live here like we so. Yeah no food, or food trucks, but its brewery. The 1st reviewer with 1 star and rated because of no food is a moron, sorry if I offended the moron community by adding her. The beer is good, not great. They just opened in mid December. Right now it's a malt lovers paradise, IPA up next week. Cool repurposed bar from The Dinnerbell in Lindstrom, MN. Very cool! Friendly staff! Been here for a half hour... still no food! Yummy pretzels! Very nice place! No food. Why would you ruin a good buzz with food! If you want food, try a restaurant, that would be a good bet. read more

Love this new brewery in Chisago City! Great selection of beers! I personally love the Peanut Gallery, with peanut and cacao flavors! Smooth! Friendly owners and staff! Always an event or live music happening. Bring in your own snacks/food on weeknights. Family friendly. Dog friendly. Very cool/modern atmosphere. A great gathering place! read more

Eat Before You Come!! The decor is fun, barnwood walls and a bar that services 15 people. The food menu consists of two types of pretzels- Dots brand or VonHanson's Seasoned Pretzyls. We were told by the bartender that in the near future they will be running food from down the street. The beer is good and they have many choices but several were sold out. Also, there is no wait staff, you need to place orders at the bar. read more

I love this brewery! I stuck to the lighter beers. They were delicious and easy to drink. Can't wait to go back to try some beers on "The Dark Side of the Loon". We purchased some crowlers and took some beer back for our family to try as well! Also, the event space was beautiful, updated while maintaining some of the unique history of the building. There was live music and a great atmosphere. Overall, I definitely recommend the Uncommon Loon, an awesome experience! read more

Uncommon Loon - Speckled Loon, Cream Ale - Breweries Near Me - Chisago City, Minnesota

Covid-Safe brewery, great brews, friendly service, clean interior, evenly spaced tables in the spacious area, great patio (live music is finished for the season)..what more could you want or need? Well, according to Karen-you need food. Fine-either order food to be delivered OR walk next door to Stone Inn and grab some food to go. We did both: brought in lunch from Deutschland and broasted chicken from Stone Inn. The beers and vibe here are worth the travel time! read more

Found this little gem in Chisago and the beer did not disappoint! Great atmosphere after a day on the lakes nearby. I'm always a fan of simple tap houses that do beer right, treat their customers well, and have great snack options. Indoor and outdoor seating is aplenty. Don't let the bushy bearded bartender intimidate you - he's a sweetheart and so kind to get you what you need. Apricot wheat beer is on point. I normally try different beers but had to have two of these since they were so tasty! The IPAs and Amber Ale were also delicious. Don't sleep on this north woods gem! read more

Me likey. Really nice place. Great beers. Hot chicks. Only 4 stars because some beers are only served in stupid tulip glasses. WTF. I get that they are 10 oz instead of 16 oz, but some people hate those sTupid tulip glasses. Short fill a pint glass yo! Here's the crazy part. Sometimes they will do it for you. Weird. Won't keep me/us from coming. Just for gods sake, give me a short pour in a pint glass. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on a long, lazy road trip home. The service was friendly and prompt. The hall and open area were comfortable and clean. Nice place. read more

Had my first stop in yesterday...which is a shame...as in December they celebrate their third anniversary!! *WHAT has taken me so long?! I opted for a flight of five then had a pint of seltzer. All weren't...good... they were.. DELICIOUS!!! WELL done Brad and Tyler, cheers!! I had read a blog before I headed out so I was anxious to see the digs as they're the old firehouse and the bar came from St Paul Hotel! I got there @ open @ 4 and within the hour as folks I assume got off work, the joint was bustling!! Not overcrowded like they can get in the cities but....just enough people.... I'm not a piny/bitter fan but I opted for two hazy's on my flight; Shapeshifter and Things We Don't Say, both very well balanced...so much so.... I would definitely consider ordering a full pint of either!! I also opted for the Amberdextrous Brown, Hang Tang Tropical Sour and Speckled Loon cream ale. All were delightful. I finished my visit off w a Black Cherry Seltzer.. I am not a White Claw fan so these were perfect! Did not have that carbonated water flavor...there was actually something about it that I'm not sure how to describe....a sparkling water flavor?... Whatever it is, your palate will appreciate it!! Uncommon Loon has all he pieces to make for a delightful stop... friendly & informative beertenders, DELICIOUS beer, cool digs, easy location and kind locals. Thanks for a wonderful inaugural visit Uncommon Loon... looking forward to tasting you on the regular!! Cheers! read more

Uncommon Loon is a microbrewery located in an old renovated fire station. The old siren is still out back. I wonder if they use the siren to announce the start of Happy Hour? There was one double IPA on tap, Dreadwater? Which was ok. The night of my visit they had a local band playing. No food service or food trucks offered the night of visit. read more

Great place to hang out and great beers to choose from. You also can bring in your own food while you drink.

If you want a great selection of beer visit the Uncommon Loon. Note: They do not offer small plates. They have pretzel tubs and a few packaged snacks, however you can bring in your own food. My biggest complaint was how many kids under the age of 10 were there on Saturday afternoon. It was unreal to go to a brewery and not be able to relax with other adults. Some of us want to be with adults and not children all the time. There are so many great beers that I'm giving it 4 stars. I'm hoping it's not the norm to spend time with young kids at a brewery. I would have given a 5 star rating. read more

Solid beer! I have been here 3 times and I haven't had a beer I didn't like. Great selection of tasty brews, no matter the season. Staff is friendly, building is cozy, as tap houses go. You can order in food or eat the yummy pretzels you can buy in house. Give it a try-it won't disappoint! read more

Great beers! Their sour was excellent. Lots of IPA options to choose from as well. Large seating area and bar.

Loved the atmosphere and peanut butter porter. Incredible historic community center turned brew pub and great beer selections. Will definitely return. read more

Hooray for a great new local brewery! My husband and I had zero expectations the first time we visited, but quickly found ourselves impressed. They offer a nice selection of different beers, and affordable flights allow you to try them all out. So far, every beer we've tried has been a winner... and we've tried them all, including the sour they were just tapping the last time we were in. For those of us who live up here, it's nice to finally have a taproom close to home. It's a great place to drop in for a couple of pints after work. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Yes, you have to go to the bar to get your beer, and they only have food trucks on certain weekends, but I'm glad that they focus on making tasty beers and don't spread themselves thin trying to cater to non-beer drinkers. Bonus points that the few snacks they have available all the time go great with beer! read more

Good start! They are learning the ropes. 7 beers available first trip 3 the second. I think they are more popular than they thought. All easy drinking. The room and building are very nice. They converted an old fire station. It's going to be very cool in the summer when they open the patio with a slight view of the lake. I agree that the first poster is an idiot. You don't go to a brewery looking for food. read more

Love this place! The brewery, beer, employees, and the crowd! I always have a great time here and look forward to all their new beer releases! read more
