Heavy TableNovember 6, 2014Great Waters' lineup of cask-conditioned ales may be the most underrated gem of a brewing portfolio in the entire Twin Cities. There’s no reason to drink anywhere else before a Wild game. Read more
YodaOctober 1, 2012The cask conditioned Blackwatch Oatmeal Stout was voted the Twin Cities Metro Area's "Sexiest Beer", it's pretty sexy, and tasty! The wild rice burger pairs well with it also.
Bite SquadJuly 30, 2013You know...if you are in need of a GWB fix you can always get the food delivered to your home. Just go to
PubPassMarch 5, 2015St Paul’s Original Taproom. Cask and Draft beer crafted by hand from their own well of Holy water.
John ArchilaDecember 18, 2014Chuck is awesome! The beer is straight og, lots of inebriated per capita beers, bacon beer nuts! Boomshakalaka.
Parker SmithAugust 20, 2014Keep in mind, they are unwilling to split your tab because it's just "easier" to put it all on one tab. Easier for who?
Food is not going to knock got socks off, but the onion rings are really good. Some of the best around I'd venture. Also of note it the buffalo chicken sandwich.
Aaron FruitSeptember 1, 2011Get the beer sampler platter to find your favorite brew. (and get snookered in the process)

Ayo BuckhanonFebruary 9, 2014Nice selection of beers. They sell Growlers buuuuut being Minnesota, no Sunday sales.
Tony HansenMarch 26, 2011The beers here are amazing. The Irish Red and Oatmeal Stout have great flavor and no bitterness. Extremely smooth.
Chris JNovember 20, 2014The most popular thing they have is the fish fry. The burgers are a close second, but I wasn't impressed with the other sandwiches.
Order appetizer and entree when you order the beverage because the service is slooooooooooow
Minnesota WildOctober 19, 2010Every Sunday-Friday 10pm to close, they provided Brewed Pints and Rail Drinks for $2.50 and house wines at $3.50/glass
Red BullJanuary 13, 2012Solid water? Red Bull Crashed Ice will go along with that drink in your hand!
Andrew KleinDecember 22, 2014The brown ale (Brown Trout) is solid. The rest is... meh. There is better beer downtown now at Tin Whiskers.- Red BullJanuary 13, 2012Water turns into ice...so check out Red Bull Crashed Ice (Fri 7:30-8:30) (Sat 7:30-9)!
Amy EAugust 28, 2011I'd skip going here. Downtown St. Paul has a bunch of other great spots. My food was one color - as was my friend's.
Order a beer and a black bean quesadilla, sans chicken or beef. Limit yourself to cask beers, as they're the freshest and rotate frequently. Pints are $2.50 from 4-6:00.
Must try the house brews, Mr. Smooth is guinessesque - have one after you've melted off your taste buds w/Cajun wings

Located in the historic Hamm Building, we are the second oldest brewery in town. Our restaurant and bar are the perfect place to grab a beer or something to eat before or after any event at the Xcel Center or local theaters. And if you feel like sitting outside, our patio is open all year...

"This tap room is self-serve. Food trucks available and a dog-friendly patio. Try their hard kombucha for a refreshing twist."
