Modist Brewing Company

If you're going to a Twins game, this is the most convenient brewery for pre-gaming. easy walking distance from Target field. Very dog friendly, lots of exposed brick and stainless steel, murals cover most of the walls. 10 taps, some easy-drinking crowd pleasers, some complicated adjunct IPAs. The beers were pretty good, the service was hard working and nice. Crowded, but I didn't have to wait in line very long.

Probably the best brewery in this part of town. Very large industrial interior with a solid outside seating area. Good selection of their own brews, which have a nice selection and many are quite good. Jess visited with her boss and I followed the next day in 2021.

Another downtown, spitting distance from the stadium location. Wide open, but quiet on a Tuesday evening. Selection focused on hazies and lagers. Snack menu only. Service excellent on a quiet night. No flights or tasters.

A couple blocks from Fulton and First Draft, and closr to Target Field, this can get busy on game-day. No flights, just 10 and 16 oz pours, though bartenders will do tastes. Beer was okay, with a couple stand-outs, but the lack of small pours is really lame - not ticker-friendly.

Really nice space in downtown area. No flights or half pours. But beer was good. Had some nice goat tacos from truck outside. Worth a stop.

Visited here on Memorial Day Weekend 17 on a Saturday before a Twins game. Great wide open modern, industrial place within walking distance of Target Field. Nice view of the equipment inside. Has about 15 or so of their beers on tap, all in various sizes which is great for sampling. Prices were very moderate. Many styles to choose from and the three I had were top notch. Friendly crowd and great service.

Visited for a private event on a Thursday evening and had the back room reserved. The front area has a very industrial feeling. high ceilings and metal. Very loud place. some of the beers are on the expensive side, which I understand given the location. they are brewing one of the best IPAs in the twin cities. Staff was friendly; the bartender underpoured my beer but topped it off without complaint when I mentioned it, and given the $7 price, I didn’t hesitate to speak up. Parking might be difficult during a Twins game. Good place and a good addition to the neighborhood.

Bright clean taproom downtown close to target field. There are a lot of tables crammed in, but it’s a decent size. Staff was friendly, beers were ok. I’m not a downtown kinda guy worth a stop if you’re in the area for a game or checking out the other spots, but I won’t be hurrying back.

A tap room in a great location with very unique local artwork. The space is quite large with plenty of seating but always seems to have a decent crowd. They are right by Target Field and Target Center. Food trucks are there quite frequently and events are held often too. Their beer is slowly becoming some of my favorites in the Twin Cities. With just under a year old their beer seems to get better and better. Their beer are very unique thanks to their uncommon brewing system. With this system their attempt to make beers without labeling them a style which seems to work out and make unique beers.
