Blueberry Blonde is delicious. I don't typically like a sweet beer, but this was more refreshing blonde with a hint of sweet rather than overpowering blueberries.

Blueberry blonde is so yummy! They put 5 or so fresh blueberries in it. The falafel is soooo delicious! Awesome god both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We'll be back for sure.

If you like Ruben sandwiches, try the Randal.They add nice thick cut, meaty bacon, to the sandwich, and a great sauce on the side. The real kicker is their creamy bbq macaroni salad, included.

It's both restaurant and brewery. Maybe it's just that this usually my first regular meal after returning from a canoe or hiking trip in the BWCA, but everything is great.

A fantastic Minnesota brewery at the entrance of the boundary waters. Beers change often and reflect local flavors.

Ethan and Tyler are the handsomest bartenders. If you're buying a growler for your canoe trip, ask for a plastic BWCA friendly one.

We LOVE the beer, but food? Not so much. The best thing on the menu is a Reuben.

Wish our waitress was more knowledgeable on their beer, and offered me more. Food was ok, can be very packed with customers Read more

Try the Eel Pout Oatmeal Stout. Light stout with a lot of taste.

Why 4 stars? Food was mostly frozen/packaged/greasy. Servers forgot the kids' drinks and half an entree. The nachos were covered in fake cheese sauce. Big disappointment. We won't go back.

No matter what you do to a 1/3lbs burger it is not worth $11
