Meet The Minnesota Brewery Named The Best In The State

The brewery focuses on local, which is why it has become a favorite in the area. I think the food probably helps, which looks absolutely insane in the best way. They offer burgers and tots, bowls, salad and tiki cakes.

Adding this spot to my bucket list immediately. What do you think the best brewery in Minnesota is?

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
