    I haven't visited Yorg's in a long time, but we decided to celebrate there once again. As you walk into the beautiful Victorian building, you're greeted by a cozy atmosphere. The warmth of the fireplace and the old-fashioned decor take you back in time. We were promptly served by Berry and Erin, who made our night memorable. We had a fabulous time trying their extensive selection of hard-to-find beers. There's nowhere else that offers such an amazing collection of beverages from Europe. While there's always Britt's Pub, Yorg's has an even more impressive assortment. The wine selection is also very good, and the prices are incredibly affordable for the quality. We alternated between beer and bubbly while enjoying great conversation with Berry and Erin. The food complemented the beverages perfectly. Plus, there's plenty of free parking available all around.

    A very cool place. This reminds me of a British pub. Service was amazing. The bartenders are super knowledgeable and make great recommendations. The eggs were pickled pleasantly. I wasn't a huge fan of the rabbit, it was a little tough, so hard to spread. Not pictured, the pineapple pizza and Kahlua cheesecake. Those were very good.

    Ventured to Yoerg's for the first time and fell in love with the historic/antique decor. The staff was great and very on top of it, especially during a busy time. I also really enjoyed my Black Forest Lager also.

    What a gem! Visited for the first time this weekend and cannot wait to come back. It had an amazingly cozy vibe. The staff and patrons were friendly. It is a bit small with limited tables on the first floor, but does have extra seating and socializing spots on the first and second floors with big comfy chairs and electric fireplaces. There is a large beer selection. All of the food we saw come out looked SO GOOD, so I can't wait to come back to experience more of the food and drink menu.

    Met here with some friends for good drinks and good food. They have an amazing extensive beer list and wine list. We enjoyed a fight of 4 different beers that you pick yourself. We also enjoyed a pate appetizer and a jambon and bread app. Both we delicious and very German. Dinner for most of us was a selection of their sausages made locally by Usingers. I especially loved the knackwurst! We also had the Galician mussels-nothing like you have ha The atmosphere is so cool and the bar originated in 1849!! Highly recommend for drinks and fab food!

    Amazing unique beer

    This place time travels 100 years back to European charm land. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. The beer list is incredible and gives me hope that IPA is not the only beer that will survive. Love the German-inspired menu with a dash of oddities. We don't have enough of these places left

    Do you like beer? Really good European beer? Beer you won't find anywhere else? If so, head over to Yoerg's. Inside the decor is a step above a neighborhood bar, but still cozy. Grab a seat at the bar if you can so you can talk to the owner, who is often behind it. Yoerg's was the first beer commercially manufactured in Minnesota, but the original St Paul brewery went out of business 50+ years ago. The current owner obtained the name, recipe, and lots of memorabilia. He then started brewing the original recipe- a steam type beer and searched out the perfect location after a false start on the West Side. Though many mourned the closure of the Strip Club it freed up this outstanding location for Yoerg's. At any time, there are likely 3-4 beers brewed by or for Yoerg's including the name sake. But the rest of the beer and wine menu are out of this world, well at least out of this continent. With an emphasis on harder to find, German, Belgian and other European imports, there is always something new to try. The Saison I had yesterday was phenomenal as was the lambic. Yoerg's also has a limited food menu, that includes Usinger Sausage, regarded by many as the best in the upper Midwest. They are trying to have vegan sausage on hand for the small few who request it, but were out the day I was there. (You can all do me a favor and ask for them when you are there). The soft pretzel and mustard pairs well with the beer, and the charcuterie plate and pizzas are options for the vegetarian. Stop on in- it will become a favorite for you.

    We were headed to another brewery when we passed this spot, saw that it was Minnesota's first brewery, and had to stop! The interior was warm and cozy, and felt like we were transported to a European pub. A fireplace and a spiral staircase up to lofted seating give this spot some serious character. We cozied up to the bar and were greeted by a lovely bartender and the owner of the brewery. They filled us in on their European specialities, which include almost entirely imports, monastery beers, and brews you can't find anywhere else in the city. What makes this place stand out is that they have the specific glass and coaster for all of their imports, so you get to enjoy the brew in it's specific branded glass. How cool?!? We weren't planning on stopping here, so we just grabbed two tasters of beers they made in house and were blown away. For a space that focuses on imports, they sure can make their own as well! :) Can't wait to come back here and try out the yummy food they have available as well!

    Honestly, I've only ever had their beers, which easily has warranted 4 stars. One day, I swear I'll eat there. But for now, what an absolute monster of a selection! Imagine you walked into your local liquor store or Total Wine, and were like, I'll try these 10. Well here, you wouldn't even have had made it off the first page. I'm blown away at their selection. They don't have many that they brew themselves. But dear lord do they have enough to burry you in others. It's been three years since they opened and I was super worried they were too new to make it through the Vid. But here we are, almost two years later, and they're still cooking. We tried things we had never heard of, all while getting a beautiful history of Minnesota brewing from the bar tender. Honestly, we loved it before and we love it even more now. The building is super cool, clean, and more represents a speakeasy than any sort of bar or brewery. Love the place. I have two knocks on it, the first being that parking here is...not great. The other part is that when you see 750ml listed on the menu, you better believe you're not taking it home. My fiancé ordered one expecting to take it home, maybe there was a miscommunication, but, she ended up drinking it there. Thankfully, she loved it enough to make it worth it. Definitely recommend.

    The most unique brewery you will ever visit. There is a handful of in-house brews and dozens of imports (beer, wine, cider, etc.) from all over Europe.

    I chose the perfect time to visit @yoergbeermn for the first time as they were hosting Orval Day with Orval vintages from 2016 up to 2021. This brewery not only has their own beer, but has one of (if not the best) Belgian beer offerings around. With a bottle selection that will make you want to start waving a Belgian flag and singing in Flemish, if you are a Belgian beer lover you need to stop in here. By the time I stopped in they had sadly already gone through all of the old vintages of Orval, but I went ahead and grabbed the 2021 vintage and their house beer to enjoy in a couch on the second floor. Orval 2021: Served in the proper glassware of an Orval Chalice, I drank the 2021 vintage of Orval to celebrate Orval Day. I hadn't had Orval in a long while so it brought back some great memories. It was full bodied and complex, with a bitterness from the hop cones used in the brewing process and a fruitiness from the fermentation process. Orval is unique in that they actually do a version of dry hopping which gives it loads of character unique to its Trappist Ale. The only thing that would have made this beer better was a plate of cheeses to accompany it. Yoerg House Beer: This lager was extremely clean, crisp, and refreshing. For the darker color (amber), it was still very light. The steam beer style of brewing they followed for the recipe, the same method that was used when the beer was first brewed over 150 years ago, provides a unique flavor. Mild hop, toasty malt, and light body make it one to drink all year round.

The interior is casual and approachable, with fun wall art, TVs with live sports, and people playing board games and socializing. We bellied up to the bar, and while our beertender didn't pull us any big winner pull tabs ;), they were awesome to converse with during our visit! The beer leans towards a wide variety of Hazy IPAs, which is one of our favorite styles, so we were in heaven! We tried a few different beers during our visit, and all were delicious! The big surprise was their Tropical Sour, which had a delicious citrus and island vibe to it! We took home a four pack to enjoy all summer long!

Bartenders are always happy to answer questions or chat at slower times. Parking can be a bit tricky during busier hours but we've always found street spots out front. They've got a few pinball machines as well if that's your jam. They're attached to Dark Horse Eatery and even share an ordering window so you can bring food or get it from there. They're known for their IPAs and stouts but honestly anything will be decent at worst so feel free to explore. Always experimenting with hop variety and combinations. Any variation of Rain Drops is great but I recommend DDH. I'm more a stout guy so any barrel aged brews will be 10/10 and are worth waiting in line for. I'd you like atmosphere and great beer you should check them out.

    Such a fun brewery/gastropub in St Paul! You have to love…read morethe space. It's an old firehouse and the patio in the nice weather months is fire. Parking can be tricky; there's not really a lot here, so you have to get lucky with the street. Staff are great here. They are always fun to chat with and will make recommendations if you need them. On our most recent venture here, I tried the spaetzle. Hubs had a burger and got the beer cheese soup. I had a bite of the soup and it was so good. The spaetzle was a little plain, but so tasty. You gotta try a beer here too. I had the hefeweizen, which I loved. Definitely stop in the summer and enjoy the patio if you have the opportunity.

While I can appreciate the effort and the atmosphere, the food just did not quite hit the mark for me personally. The dishes felt more American influenced than traditionally German, and overall they lacked some of the authenticity and flavors I associate with Bavarian and Franconian cuisine. Unfortunately, we did not really enjoy the food as much as we had hoped. That said, the history and character of the building were genuinely impressive. The restoration work and historic atmosphere were easily the highlight of the visit and made the experience worthwhile from that perspective. I think people looking for a local interpretation of German inspired food may enjoy it more than someone expecting a more traditional experience.
