Arbeiter Brewing

One of my favorite breweries in MN! A few of the owners are Korean so they have a great rotation of Korean-inspired flavors, like the Tokki rice lager and Gochu Stout. They also just launched another limited-time flavor, the Càphin--a collaboration with the namesake local coffee shop, it's a Vietnamese Coffee Stout. I'm very much not a beer person, but loved all three of these!Arbeiter doesn't have a kitchen so they have rotating food trucks at the taproom, plus the option to bring your own food. I personally brought my own big old jar of kimchi, which was genuinely life-changing paired with the Tokki and Gochu Stout!The space itself is such a fun vibe--well-lit with colorful decor and plenty of seating, including a little lofted upstairs area that's still open to the main taproom floor, which makes it feel very connected--we went for trivia and played from the upstairs and the host still came up to check in with everyone upstairs multiple times, which was super nice. The taproom is also dog-friendly inside and out, so we saw some cuuuuute pups while there!If you're looking to try some truly inventive beer varieties, Arbeiter is 100% your place. They also have some great NA options available like kombucha, hop water, sodas, and even THC drinks. Their prices are great, in my opinion--their taster size ($3 or $4, depending on the beer) is perfect for a lightweight like me, so getting to make my own mini-flight of three of those for under $10 was an absolute steal in my book!

Relaxing atmosphere, great service and great beer choices. Plus food trucks. We love La Tortilla catering so we like to visit when they are here. I like the small pours so I can make a flight and try different options.The stouts tend to be my favorite. They pair well with Mexican food. You can also play games here or just have a nice conversation.

I love everything about this brewery. They offer beers, seltzer and a THC option. There is literally something for everyone. We are hooked on the squishy plum which has a crisp refreshing and slightly sweet taste. They have lots of seating options, pinball machines, and lots of board games. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. My favorite thing to do is to shop the bookstore next door then enjoy a drink and read. I've been to several of their events and they have lots of family friendly options. This is also a safe space for BIPOC and LGBT+. They also have lots of gender neutral single room bathrooms. Families should check out the kid friendly events. This is a very chill spot to catch up with friends. They also regularly have a food truck/vendor and allow for outside food to be eaten.

We had a great time here. There was a small Korean pop up market here where relatives and friends were selling items. The brewery makes two Korean style beers. One is called Tokki which is a Korean rice lager. It's quite good. The other is Gochu Stout which has a small amount of Gochujang spice in it. It's really tasty. I had more than one and also brought a couple of both of them home. Very nice venue.

Came here for their Lunar New Year celebration. Tried a few of their unique blend beer and they didn't disappoint extremely their stouts and lagers. Will come again for sure.

Welcome to brewery visit #280 for me! I'm in Minneapolis on business and arrived early so had a little time to hit a couple of breweries with AB being first. AB has a great space just down from the still burned out 3rd precinct. I had no idea when I drive to AB but I recognized it from the videos. Anyway, AB is cool with high ceilings, pinball machines, and some cool murals. I started with the Maibock which is toasty with slight bitterness.Westkũst IPA was up next with a really smooth flavor to it. This was a really good IPA.The Hermanator! A bourbon barrel aged doppelbock had a nice bourbon/oak flavor to it that was actually really smooth. Last at this stop is Arbeiterin, a prickly pear and passion fruit sour for International Women's Day. Kind of appropriate as all the women in my life, SWPFTD my wife of 34 years and my daughter, are pretty damn prickly. Anyway...the beer sure is a pretty color and better than that it has a nice fruity but not overpoweringly sour flavor. Good beers and great space here at AB. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

First time visiting, and was impressed. I'm an IPA guy, and there was not a lot for me here, though that did force me to branch out and try new things, which is not a bad thing! Barkeeps were friendly and patient as they provided samples and made recommendations. Space is nice - we were a group of 10 and were able to make it work. Recommend checking them out!

Great Korean couple with unique beer flavors. Great contributors to the community and love to support any way I can!!

This is another great place for trivia! We attended their Tuesday night trivia night and had a good time. Although the place was near packed there was still seating available (both high top and low top). Dogs were allowed inside which always adds to the fun! Their beers were reasonably priced and lines were reasonable throughout trivia. Our favorite brew was their self-titled Arbeiter! It was a bit challenging to hear the trivia at times due to the echo of the place but there's not too much that can be done about that, plus the questions were offered online as well. They offer some pretzels if you're feeling snacky and there is a large table of board games to borrow while you're there as well. Staff was friendly and the entry door had a bunch of local postings which were fun to read through - we love businesses supporting the community! Additionally, their bathroom set up is excellent - very clean, plenty of individual stalls, and a surprisingly good hand soap. We had a great time and will be back!

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy, there was a food truck outside although we didn't try it. This had a fun atmosphere that is great to spend time with friends and family. Some groups were playing games, others crafting. We forgot our cribbage board. I think they may have had games but we enjoyed just watching everyone from the second floor seating area. They had pinball machines but my husband didn't feeling like playing. There is a small lot to park in that was nice. I had the arbieter, a German blonde. It was good but I wished they would have had a hefeweizen. My husband had the nitro nitro nitro and really enjoyed it. It was fun and I love hitting up different breweries!
