High Pines Brewing

My husband and I met another couple here (with their young baby) for a early happy hour - we were pleased with the staff helping our friends find a spot for their empty baby carrier and checking in with them to make sure they were comfortable. We were happy to be able to meet up with our friends, for them to be able to grab a yummy bite to eat and drink. The prices were fair and food was delicious! We did have to flag down our server a couple times but he also appeared to be the bar tender, he was very nice though. Besides the awkward waving down of staff, which very much could be him respecting our conversation and space, we will return and recommend. Date night, early family dinner, happy hour, etc.

Unfortunately not what I was hoping. Very very underwhelming beer in variety and quality and the food not much better. Best thing I can say is it's kind of cozy in a very divey way.

I've been here a couple of times with friends after our weekly hikes. High Pines can accommodate our group indoors and out, and the beer enthusiasts seem happy with the selection of brews. I'm not into beer, but there's always a beverage I can enjoy, too. Service has been friendly and amazingly prompt, especially considering that we're often a group of 10-15. I had a great burger there, and on another occasion bang bang shrimp that was truly banging! Also delicious brussels sprouts and crispy fries.

Update: my husband, niece, and I went to High Pines for brunch. Neither is us knew they served breakfast food. Their breakfast food is pretty good. Our picky eater niece enjoyed the waffles. My husband loved the chicken waffle (Tennessee Rise & Shine). The flavors was good. The chicken was savory and it mixed well with the sweetness. I had the sirloin & eggs. The steak was very well seasoned. The coffee ground rub really works. Our server was attentive. The ambiance was casual and laid back.

Took my first visit to @highpinesbrewing for a flight of a few of their beers. Sadly I wasn't able to try their food, but the food from the @tipsysteer looked delectable in any case and I will need to visit again to give it a try.Aguavarita:This was a Gose that had agave and guava added which gave it a nice balance. The tartness from the core Gose sour style leveraged the sweetness of the agave / guava to taste nearly like a margarita.Hazebiscus:An extremely fruity and juicy Double Dry Hopped IPA. The use of this year's Pink Boots Blend (HBC 630, Idaho Gem, Loral, Talus, and Triumph) gave off raspberry and red currant on the aroma with a huge blast of grapefruit, citrus, and raspberry on the flavor. A medium hop bitterness rose in the finish. Very enjoyable DDH IPA in addition to $3 per pound of the hop blend donated to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund (which High Pines used 44 pounds)Home Improvements:A black lager with sales being donated to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Medium-thin body with a lot of roastiness for a lager. Pitch black, bitter, and refreshing. Beyond the roastiness, there are medium-low dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans on both the aroma and the flavor. Still refreshing on the warmer summer days.

Came here after our first choice was way too busy. Our server was great and she gave us her recommendations. The food was perfect for appetizers, great flavor but not too filling. I had the easy Tiger (Pale Ale - American ) and the rose and the wolf (IPA - New England) for beer and they were both smooth and refreshing. Lots of seating and everything was clean. Parking was easy, smaller lot but it's not a problem. Definitely coming back in the summer!

Oh, High Pines, I miss you already! I was dreaming and drooling of your Up In Smoke pizza with brisket and bacon ham, crema, and cauliflower piping-hot goodness! I will be back just to have your pizza and Smuggled Fruit Sours!!! Yum!!!

After looking up High Pines online, I was a bit confused if High Pines and Tipsy Steer were the same place or two neighboring locations, so for anyone wondering... They're the same location! You order beer + food at your table and it's all paid on the same bill, just like any other brew pub.Tonight was our first stop into High Pines, and we all really enjoyed the beer and the food! I tried a Peter Palmer to drink (delicious) and the Turkey burger for dinner (so flavorful and well executed!). We got a chuckle out of how clearly the place resembled its former life as a Joe's Crabshack, and loved sitting outdoors on the patio. Great spot! We'll be back!

Great spot with tons of indoor and outdoor seating! They also had gluten free pizza, burgers, drinks, and a few other food options. Service was super quick and the food was great!

Great beer, great food, great service-what more could you ask for?! I recommend the pizzas, haven't had one I didn't like yet. They have a nice selection of beer for all flavor palettes-I am not an IPA person so I appreciate the less hoppy options.
