Duck pond staple is a favorite as well! Worth the stop in rain, shine, warm, cold, any time of day! Staff is friendly and the snack options are tasty. You won't regret it.

Really love this little spot in Brainerd. They have a lot of really great varieties of beer, and…read moreeven some unique ones. They now also produce THC seltzers. My absolute favorite is their jalapeño crème ale, and I don't even really like spice, but it just has a great flavor making me think fresh cut peppers. Their staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, and they have a great little merch spot. We stock up whenever we have the chance!

There was a stench lingering about tho that made enjoying the beer difficult & the idea of food completely off-putting. (A sewage-type odor that was strongest inside but wafted out as well.) When paired with dog owner's that have no awareness of their pet (legit dropped 2 piles within a foot of our table & it was still there when we left.) The staff were very friendly & the outdoor seating was lovely. I wouldn't make a special trip out to drink here but would pop in if staying nearby

Like wineries in the Midwest, I'm also very cautious about distilleries. Just because you can make Jenn or bourbon doesn't mean that you should. Not the case for this place. We tried an assortment of cocktails. I ordered one variation of a Manhattan and really enjoyed it. This place is punching above its weight. Highly recommend stopping in.

The menu looks delicious food wise - we didn't try anything this trip but came for the espresso martinis and they did not disappoint. They use 5 rocks distillery liquors and they are so good.
