Paddlefish Brewing

Great new brewery in St. Peter! Conveniently located right off the highway, which makes it a perfect stop as you're going through town. They had a live acoustic band when we visited on the weekend. They often have food trucks as well. The staff was friendly and informative about the beers. The ambience was comfortable with plenty of seating and aesthetically pleasing with beautiful plants. Dogs are allowed :) We will definitely be coming back!

Paddlefish is Minnesota's newest brewery! The grand opening is January 10th but I was lucky enough to sneak in for a soft opening! First off the space is beautiful. Lots of textures and colors make the space pop and create a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere to hang out in. The whole taproom, all the way down to the bathrooms, is a vibe. For a brand new brewery the beers are damn impressive. The quality and execution to each style leaves me excited to see where it goes. St. Peter is a bit of a drive but well worth the trip to check out Paddlesfish Brewing.

Paddlefish Brewing just opened this week so I was super excited to check it out and I wasn't disappointed. It is the coolest place, filled with plants upon plants. (Speak to my soul!) Also loved the vintage vibe with the 70's van and mismatched chairs. There were so many people there I didn't get to check out the history picture wall, next time. The beer selection was smaller but I had a flight and liked all 4 I tried. The Red Owl Amber and Jolly Giant IPA were my favorite. There are many good options within a block if you want to grab food. What a great addition to Saint Peter. Can't wait to go back.

Great new brewery in St. Peter. The staff were extremely nice and very helpful. When we were there, there was a food truck offering incredible Mexican food that you could bring in while sitting inside listening to live music. Great atmosphere and very accommodating for a variety of group sizes. The only issue we ran into was they ran out of a few of their beers on tap. Good beer and seltzer selection with great taste; highly recommend making this your next destination!

Great small town brewery! The taproom manager Ryan was super gracious and welcoming, and the space was great for our small group. The beer was very tasty!

I was fortunate enough to try Paddlefish Thursday 4 January, a soft open for email subscribers! What a great space!!! A large parking lot....that you can exit from three directions, I appreciated as I want to head north on 169, back to the cities! The staff were so friendly!! A gal was going to help me build my flight when a fella slid down the bar to also help me! I really appreciate that 99% of the tables are standard height!! There's a little entertainment nook in the NE corner! The SE corner, you can't miss it, is where they will drive in from time to time their green '76 VW bus!! A fella @ a nearby table mentioned to me "you'd think they'd get that van out of here for more seating!" I replied: I'm sure they will....eventually, but for the opening, it's aesthetic. There were two tap lists hanging, a left and a right. I didn't peruse the left once the beertender said their beers were on the right. There were six listed; I wanted to try them all!! I'm not an APA fan so a taster pour of the Almost Capital was perfect for me. The beer was hoppy but not piny/bitter, so I was able to finish it. None of the beers really walked away a favorite but were all delicious! As I chatted w friends & perused the tap list I made comment that I didn't get the Porter or the sour. The beertender said flights are four pours. I asked if I could just buy 4oz pouts of them? She brought them out to me and when I reached for my wallet, she said no. I made sure to tip her for the pours and the exceptional service before I left. I assume he was an owner, but a flannel Paddlefish shirted fella was making the rounds picking up empty glasses. Thanks! The tap room is spacious and with the few windowed garage doors, it's bright. The brew house is near the west end of the bar and easily visible. Merch is readily available on a display on the south wall, between garage doors. There are three bathrooms behind the tap wall. I am excited that Paddlefish is opening today and looking forward to my return visits!! Congrats Paddlefish and happy grand opening day!!

Staying at an amazing historic Airbnb (locals call it the Donahower House on Minnesota Ave/Locust St. also known as the Locust Street Hotel) and walked over (7min walk) to have a beer with my husband. Such a great atmosphere with a hippie, green, voyager vibe. Beers have a range from sours, ipas, seltzers, mock tails and lagers. Snacks are here for purchase and the staff here are very welcoming and helpful.

I really liked the atmosphere and the VW bus inside! I found a couple beers I liked and the food truck was great that day. I would go back for sure. They were really busy but still cranked out quick service.

Beer is decent & it's great they have food trucks but there were so many dogs inside that I won't be back. Several of the dogs were barking & one guy had a hard time trying to control his big dog from jumping on people. I got food from the food truck & one of the dogs was sniffing at my ankles begging for food scraps while I was trying to eat it! Too many dogs with irresponsible owners ruined it for me, won't be back...unless you consider not letting dogs inside?
