Mana Brewing

Lively atmosphere and good beer. This is a great little gem in downtown Shakopee and I'm glad we have it. The pizzas were good but for $15+ I wish they were a little bigger or had more toppings. My friend really liked her beer.

Today we headed back to one of our local favorites @mana_brewing !We typically make our own Hawaiian style pizza but we tried out the Extreme Supreme!With various beer selections, cocktails, non alcohol beverages (mocktails + sodas)I decided to get the Rum Punch that was suggested by the bartender! It was giving summer vibes in the middle of this "warm" winterWill be ordering this again!We love this family friendly brewery/ brick oven pizzeria! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this brewery. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beer and pizza was good. It seemed like a very popular location. There is plenty of space for groups. We saw families and other couples. It was clean and comfortable.

My wife and I were out for our weekly new restaurant jaunt and she noticed this place opened up a few weeks ago,We entered about 11:30 on A Saturday and it was empty. I ordered the New Zealand IPA and the supreme pizza and my wife ordered the make your own with red sauce and no cheese or oil and basil on top. The dude actually came to check on some stuff from here to make sure he got it right. Nice call.The beer was good, not stellar, and I also ordered the American IPA, again, pretty good.The pizza was good, but from previous pictures, I saw larger crusts, but maybe the oven was warming up since it was early. Pretty hearty toppings. Just right for the price.Overall, worth a try, we won't go out of our way to go again, but we knocked it off the lists of Twin Cities breweries.

Stopped on our way home from Minneapolis. There was no off street parking that I could find, but not a big deal because it was Saturday mid afternoon. Outside was pretty unremarkable. Inside appeared to be newly remodeled and was clean.When we were there, we had to go to the bar to order our pizza and return to pick it up when it was ready. We also had to bus our own table when we finished. Not sure if they have traditional wait staff during busier times or not.We ordered "The Meats Pizza" which is a meat pizza with Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Breakfast Bacon and Sausage. The sauce is a red sauce and came with Mozzarella Cheese. The crust is a thin crust. Our pizza came out hot and unfortunately with some burned crust. We all know that brown is flavor when it comes to cooking, but this was black and bitter. That bitter flavor tainted the whole pizza. An adequate amount of meats were good. The cheese was either light or not really evenly distributed as we had portions with no cheese. I think the sign of a good pizza is evenly distributed toppings. The red sauce was as another reviewer said "Meh". The final item to note was the greasy paper between the pie pan and the pizza. Notice in the picture that grease is evenly distributed on the paper, not just where the slices were cut.$16 before taxes and tip for a 10" average pizza.Final takeaway - I get a better 16" meat pizza at Sam's Club for $8.00. One that isn't burned, has a tastier sauce (and I don't think their sauce is great either), evenly distributed toppings and the same customer service. After reading other reviews I was excited to try this place! Maybe I'm being to harsh because I had such high expectations. I did struggle between a 2 and a 3 rating. Price deserved a 2, food and service a 3.

Heard about this new spot from a coworker, so we stopped by on a Friday night! It drew quite the crowd, which could mostly be attributed to its recent opening, but I couldn't find a reason not to come back!The interior is cool: some upscale finishes with a cool teal wall color and plenty of seating. There was only one spot open when we arrived, but it was perfect for a quick game of cribbage while we enjoyed our beers. Service was quick and friendly. Beers weren't anything out of this world, but great casual drinkers. This spot also offers cocktails and food! I had the Cream Ale and loved it! A cool place to play a game or meet friends in downtown Shakopee. A great addition to the choices in the area!

Attended the soft opening of Mana Brewing in Shakopee. Love seeing more breweries opening in the West suburbs. They have a great starting lineup of beers including a Crew Ale, Hefeweizen, Belgian Saison, American IPA, Amber Ale, and a Tropical Stout. With a giant wood fired oven they are flinging pizzas and along the wall are arcade games. I'm excited to see what else they will fill their tap lines with as they become a mainstay in the community!Hefeweizen:A beautiful light gold golor with a medium sweet dough malt flavor, light bodied, with a medium-low clove and light banana that showcases the traditional malt, but still has a shining Hefe flavor.Tropical Stout:An uncommon beer style that is perfect for malt fans in the Summer. It is light bodied, toasty, hint of molasses, and low fruit flavors that gives it brightness. I wish more breweries were doing this style, but it just means I'll be coming to Mana to get my fix.Make sure to come and support this new brewery! Pizza, beer, and arcade games. What else could you want?

Love this place!! Met up with some friends in the afternoon on Saturday and was happily surprised to see that they weren't too packed. Plenty of seating and an open layout with tons of windows to enjoy this beautiful MN sunshine! What we ordered:The Meats Pizza - red sauce, sausage, cupping pepperoni, Canadian bacon, chopped bacon, and mozzarella cheese -Great crispy crust and really flavorful! Came out piping hot fresh from the pizza oven and we couldn't wait to dig inBavarian Pretzel- we subbed the mustard for an extra side of beer cheese - everyone LOVED this, super soft and the beer cheese is just perfectionJalapeño Cucumber Margaritas - 21 Seeds Cucumber and Jalapeno infused Tequila, Triple Sec, Agave - Really good but definitely more cucumber forward than jalepeño spice!Mana is really family friendly, almost every table had babies/kids (including ours)! I can't wait to stop here again, so many drink options that rotate. This will be a great spot this summer!

This is a gem! We cannot believe it took us so long to stop by! Their food is extremely good and staff is kind! It is not dog friendly due to the kitchen. definitely recommend checking this brewery out!

Mana has better than average pizza (I don't know how you could screw up a pizza, but some find a way).The beer is underrated and the staff is friendly and accommodating. That's getting more and more rare these days.
