Utepils Brewing

Been coming here for many years! I love Belgian beer especially their Ewold the golden. I love the bartenders, always so friendly and welcoming. I love the space both indoor and outdoor, they are so spacious. If you have never visited this brewery, you should. It is definitely worth it.

This brewery has ample seating, various weekly events, often a food truck, and a large outdoor beer garden with fire pits. I appreciate the variety of NA beverages they also have including ginger beer, kombucha, root beer, NA beer (in cans from other companies), and sparkling water. They have a parking lot that is large with overflow street parking. Live music is great, but could be quieter- it was so loud tonight it was hard to talk.

I would give it a 4.5/5 if I could. This is a fun spot to meet friends for drinks, sit in the patio, get some food from a food truck or play some trivia. My friends and I stopped in for trivia and a drink. Overall, it was fun and the staff is really nice. It was pretty loud inside for trivia and hard to hear but they do have the question on the trivia link as well so you can read it and hear it. My spot I take 0.5 off is that everytime I come here the parking is not the greatest. They do have a parking lot but it's always full and I usually end up parking a walk a way on the street. There are a decent amount of street spots to park. My friends and I will definitely be back for some more trivia!

I absolutely love Utepils Brewing!Conveniently located outside of downtown Minneapolis, this taproom is easy to get to from anywhere in the cities. This brewery features a massive seating area with pool table and shuffleboard table. There is also a huge outdoor seating area nestled in a wooded area. It's awesome. The beer is fantastic. Lots of pilsners on tap all the time. Everything is well executed and clean drinking. You will also find some hoppier and maltier selections if that's your thing. Utepils also has some killer swag sure to make you look and feel great. As far as service - all the beertenders are awesome. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. Jess is my FAVORITE! She's great. Definitely one of the better taprooms in the cities. Check them out!

First time there. Love the taproom. It's feels like a great place to hang out. But the patio is the real gem. It was a little chilly but we got a few chairs by the big fire pit and it was perfect. Tried Smokey the Beer, the smoke was a bit on the burnt bacon grease side. Not my fave but it was good with the pizza. Second beer was In All Places. It's a Brown Ale. Really liked this one. Also tried a few that my hubby had. Like his also. All in all, it's a great place to meet some friends and hang out with some yummy food truck food and beer. Can't wait for summer to really enjoy the patio and the live music I've heard they have.

Food truck, didn't get a chance to enjoy it. They do sell snacks. Service was great. Ambiance, outdoor OMG, RELAXING next to a river with the birds chirping. Very nice indoor also. Bathrooms were clean. Also a lot of apparel. friendly. ‍

Hefe mosa is amazing! Never had a bad beer here, but look at this one! So yummy. Great patio, great staff, fun environment! Definitely recommend if you like a great brewery

I normally head to the Twin Cities for Minnesota Wild games. I am rarely there during the summertime. Well, I finally returned to the state in early August.Why? My first concert and visit to Xcel Energy Centre was a John Mayer concert eons ago. Opening for him was Guster, a band from Boston. I fell in love with their music, and how awesome their bongoist was. I have been a fan ever since.The band rarely comes up to Canada. I have only seen the band once up here at Danforth Music Hall. I tend to head over the border when they are playing.I found out that they were playing a show at Utepils Brewing. It made sense to return to the Twin Cities where I was first introduced to Guster.I got a VIP ticket. It meant that I got to sit in a specific area, have access to the bar and washrooms in this sectioned-off area, and get a special Guster beer.The show was on Friday. It was open at 5 pm. I drove over here, which was straightforward. However, parking was limited.I spoke to the nicest man standing by the railroad tracks in front of the brewery. I asked where I could park. He said that I could either park at Anwatin Middle School and take a shuttle over here (it runs every twenty minutes), or park on the road, just up the hill. Nice!I thanked him and tried street parking. It was perfect. I found a spot and walked down the hill to get to the venue.You do have to prove that you are 21 years old. I had my Ontario driver's licence. The man doing the check looked at it and thought that I was born in 2003. I need him to compliment me all the time... haha!I didn't have a ticket. I had to show my VIP receipt on my phone. I then got a wrist bracelet, my VIP ticket, and my drink ticket. Yay!I had to use the washroom. I used one of the portable ones. It was clean, as I was early for the concert.I was hungry and got a smokey bratwurst from Gerhard's. There were several food trucks there, which I liked. I also got a bottled water. I paid with a credit card. Done!The VIP experience was nice. I showed my ticket to the woman at the gated area. I found a nice table and sat down. My bratwurst was yummy. It was great eating and drinking in this cool space.I had the Guster special brew. It was refreshing on a fairly humid day. Luckily, it got cooler throughout the night. Everyone was friendly and cheerful. It was nice chatting to a man next to me about Guster songs that we hoped would be performed.It's a nice outdoor venue. It's on the banks of Bassett Creek, which is between downtown Minneapolis and Theodore Wirth Parkway. I was at a Yelp event at the latter in May, so I now know that it's not far away from this brewery!I had a great time. It was an excellent concert.I used the brewery washroom for VIPs. It was clean and nicely maintained. The brewery is nice and large.Staff at the brewery were nice. There was a photographer taking professional photos throughout the night. I liked that food trucks were still going on strong after the show. I was hungry again.I have had food from KCM Egg Rolls before at a food truck event last year. I went ahead and got a foot-long pork egg roll. I paid with a credit card and got my egg roll on a stick immediately. I thanked the nice man and headed up the hill to my car.I ate in my car. The egg roll hit the spot. It was packed full of seasoned ground pork, vermicelli noodles, and veggies. It was so good to have it again.I had a terrific concert and beer experience at this brewery. I'd love to return when there isn't a concert to check out what the ambience is like. Parking is a bit of an issue, but I now know that street parking is decent.(355)

Delightful brewery that everyone can visit after a bike ride at Wirth Trailhead! We were a large group so we headed out to the shaded beer garden in back after selecting our choice of beverage. No one was disappointed in their choices! Good service. We were too early in the day for any food trucks, so we will have to plan that better next time!

Utepils is a great spot for meeting up with friends and playing board games over some drinks! I'm glad to see the expansion of drink selections beyond beer. I appreciate the cider selections and the Party Water (hard seltzer). I hope to see this segment of non-beer options grow in the future too since I'm a seltzer gal!There are usually food trucks or vendors inside during the cold months. Utepils also has pretzels that you can purchase for a quick snack. It's a little on the loud side since it's so big and echo-y, but I could still hear everyone at our table!
