Drastic Measures Brewing

Fun place! We were making the drive from the twin cities to our cabin and stopped in. I want to explore the area more in the future!We had a few beers each and some small bites. I had the snack sized nachos with chicken. Plenty of food for one person! They weren't anything special but they did hit the spot. My partner had boneless wings with a bourbon sauce and really liked them!The beer menu was fun and had a good variety! We wished there were a few more light options, but if you like IPAs or fruited beers you'll be happy stopping here!The vibe of the place was very cool - it's got a "half brewery half restaurant look" if that makes sense haha. The staff and patrons were friendly, and we left with some merch (tees and a glass!) Overall worth a stop!

Stop #52 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour We pulled in a few minutes after 9pm, sadly, the kitchen closed at 9pm & we weren't able to try the food. I'll say the special elote pizza looked fab. The brews remained available til 11pm.We ordered 2.5 beers, with the Hop Passport @ $12 after the discount. All 3 were solid choices The parking is on the street. Staff weren't overly friendly. Unlike some places we've been too, no information about the brewery was discussed. They were, however, attentive (& probably ready to go home - it was getting late.)

I absolutely love this brewery. I have visited Drastic Measures a few times and always enjoyed everything from the beer to the food to the staff to the overall atmosphere. DM offers up a wide range of beer styles. Everything is true to style and well executed. I strongly recommend a stout, sour, or lager. Food is also delicious and wildly portioned for the price. If you plan on eating I would suggest getting something to share. Staff is always super friendly and incredibly prompt. You wouldn't need to worry about your beer sitting empty.

Drastic Measures Brewing was the latest brewery Steve and I enjoyed from the state of Minnesota! A little bit out of the way off of any Interstates this brewery is a refreshing break for any wayward travelers. Steve and I split just one beer from this brewery and it was the IPA by the name of Floggy. This IPA had a velvety body and soft to your lip's touch. It was a hazy IPA which is a highly popular trend with breweries right now. This IPA was refreshing however it wasn't anything terribly unique which is what I usually look for but not really any other faults other than that. Flavor features to expect with this beer is typical IPA territory with hoppiness and a jucines that can be enjoyed when savoring this IPA.

Saturday six of us rolled in to town where we hit the distillery then headed directly across the street to Drastic Measures! What a welcoming venue with it's Main Street floor to ceiling windows! We were fortunate to grab the only large standard height table. We shared Drastic Nachos w their generous shredded chicken and cheese, perfectly seasoned wings and a basket of a side of fries. All food was able to fill the bellies for six. I opted for a flight of two Hazy's: Super Stupid and Regulator and two stouts the delicious Humble Bumble and the too smooth for it's high ABV Glint Eastwood. I tried a sip of someone's Knucklehead hazy, just as good as mine on my flight. I got a chuckle out the beer Richard Cranium.... forgot to order a taster of it. My flight was $12 as clearly stated on the tap list a flight is $10 for four pours w a $2 additional if you opt for an Imperial beer, which I did w Glint Eastwood. Regukatir and Glint Eastwood were my favorites of the day. The tap room was bright, spacious and had great acoustics as there was another large party a couple tables away. A fun surprise when I headed to the bathroom to see one hall wall was glass... looking right in to the brewery! I also spotted before the hall a small little gaming area w a seating area. The staff werefriendly and helpful. Free street parking right out front was easy. If you're near Wadena definitely don't pass up a stop at Drastic Measures; thanks for a delicious afternoon!

Rainy day = road trip to try a new brewery. Didn't disappoint. Great pizza too! The service was amazing!

Went here while visiting the town and everything tasted amazing. Got some weird vibes from the staff like maybe they prefer locals there but everything else made up for it. I tasted both sours, poontang and overlord, poontang was so good that both me and my table mate got it. Compared to NY the prices were also amazing. We got the pickle poppers the bossy tots to start. Bossy tarts were cheesy mashed potato balls that were super smooth and yummy. The pickle poppers were amazing though! Like jalapeno popper style eggrolls but with chopped up pickles instead of jalapenos. After that I got the spicy clucker chicken sandwich which was by far the best chicken sandwich ive ever had. Very saucy and juicy. Over all i recommend stopping by this place and wish i could go again.

If there is a hipster spot in Wadena, this is it! The decor was trendy and so was the music. I was surprised to see this in a cute little small town. FYI... the tables and chairs seem to be a little wobbly. Sit in the back corner where there are a few teal cloth chairs. It looked cozier there. They have food also! We were staying at a B&B in town and wanted to venture to a local brewery. When looking at the menus on the table... there were two we were really excited for and an employee came over and told us they were out of both of them (Poon Tang and Humble Mumble) .... BOO! I was surprised they didn't print new menus yet or cross them off with marker. You order your beer at the counter. The two beers (Dirty Mind and Night Moves) we tried were good enough. The Night Moves has a bitter coffee flavor and medium body and Dirty Mind was fruit forward and easy drinking. Overall, a fun little adventure in Wadena.

Beer was good selection. Services was slow; no water refills. Had to ask for utensils. Never returned to us afterwards. And, don't go for the food. Didn't try pizza, so can't comment. Burger was average; not allowed to add cheese to it. If you want cheese, order the bacon cheeseburger, but you can't get lettuce, onion, etc. "You get bacon, meat and cheese; nothing else". WTH? The fries were mushy; no flavor. Quite a few other choices for food in town.

The beer was great. The music had us dancing in our seats. But we didn't know if the food was good because it was way too cold to eat it. It was soggy. We could see it sitting under the warmer for a good 20-30 minutes before we got it. Finally we asked and the waiter brought it. We asked for different fries but instead they gave us our food free. Afterward we had to go to McDonald's and get food. Our waiter was very kind about the whole situation though. The Mac and cheese was Kraft it was way too dry. The worker wouldn't even touch the food because it was so cold. Most likely will not be coming here again. We were patient for a while but this was ridiculous.
