LocAle Brewing

Really good beer! Cafe Key City was delicious. We tried a flight of some sours - they were very interesting (and pretty) - always what we're looking for. Will go back next time we're in Mankato!

We've been to Locale many times and although we like it, we never LOVE any of the beers. During my most recent visit I got a flight, and while all the beers were okay, I didn't feel like I needed any more of any of them. I ended up ordering a Stateline which is a farmhouse cream ale, and it was probably my favorite of the 5 I tried. The taproom is small, there is also a very small patio. It has a relaxed vibe as most breweries do.

Nice spot for a local beer. Staying nearby and Locale was within a few blocks walking so decided to try it out. We unknowingly entered through the back door because the two food trucks were hiding the front entrance but, good to know there's multiple ways to get in and out!There is a bar area with seating, tables and a small patio for seating. Lots of options but one thing I noticed was that nearly all seating tables was set up for 4 or more which resulted In a bunch of half used tables inside. So, all the tables were filled but only at a bit over half capacity it seemed. We ordered our sampler at the register and headed outside. Bartender was nice and made a recommendation to help fill out the sampler flight. Total for the sampler was $12 based on the beers I chose so not the cheapest option for drinking but a good way to try a few. Beers were good. Chose two sours, a dark beer and a polish style beer. All unique in their flavor.

This place looked new. Very clean and nice atmosphere. I found a couple beers I liked and stop again for sure. The service was quick and pleasant.

The ambience was just OK for me, but the beers were fantastic! Hibernale and the wheat beer were great. The people and service was great as well.

Very cool atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. A great place to come for a few.

I am happy they opened in Mankato. Owners are great people and strive to put out good beer! It's gotten better with time as they've added artwork, outdoor seating, patio, etc. I've enjoyed the IPA's and other hoppy beers they've put out. Usually have different events throughout the week and are rotating new beers in often. No food options, but they have food trucks at times and allow for other food to be brought in! Good place for a beer! Glad they came in to challenge Mankato Brewery

Greta location. New updated clean inside and out. "HibernAle" Scottish Ale was as advertised...Definitely lived up to the gold medal it received.
