First stop:
Housed in a 7500 square feet of warehouse space, Bent Brewstillery is Minnesota’s first-ever brewstillery, making both craft beer and distill spirits, namely whiskey. Their most popular beer is Nordic Blonde, a pale ale mixed with a blonde ale. If you're into spirits, we recommend Kursed single malt whiskey, distilled from a mash of cherrywood- and oak-smoked malts.
Second stop:
Lakes & Legends Brewing Company is located in downtown Minneapolis is the heart of the Loring Park neighborhood. Lakes & Legends focuses on Belgian and farmhouse-style ales, and has a large 3,500-square-foot taproom with a capacity for 240 people. The open taproom faces the brewery and includes free Hammerschalgen, indoor bags, life-size Jenga, and more. With a long list of Belgian, seasonal, and specialty beers Lakes & Legends has something for everyone.
Third stop:
Located in the North Loop neighborhood, Inbound Brewco are on a mission to create the most drinkable craft beer around. By constantly experimenting and changing the styles they want to create a beer selection that is fun and adventurous. Try the roasty Wild Rice Baltic Porter, a refreshingly smoky Smoked Wheat, and a chewy sweet Apricot Ale. The taproom seats 185, with Bavarian-style picnic tables, and a mezzanine that overlooks the brew floor and a music stage.
Drop-off:
The drop-off point is same as the pick-up point, parking lot of Sociable Cider Werks.
How much beer am I getting, again?
Our public tours are all-inclusive. You can get as much, or as little beer as your palate craves. Bonus: you can bring your own beer too! Because we support craft breweries, we insist you only bring craft beer on the bus. For example: Surly, Lagunitas, Lift Bridge = Good! Coors, Bud, Miller = Bad.
