Boathouse Brothers Brewing

Stop 4 - Hundreds of Hops Tour Every once in a very great while, I walk into a place and feel instantly at home. I'm talking look for a house to buy cuz this is it... right here, right now. I must confess, the exterior alone sped my heart up. It's absolutely charming. On entry, the theme continues tastefully and is expertly integrated... from the boat seat stools to the tap pulls to the wall decor and menu board. My heart was pitter-pattering and I knew I was in love. I know what you're thinking, stop 4... that's not love, it's a buzz - but, no... these stops were well-spaced and I was filled with dread after my last stop! The barkeep asked if we'd been in before, we advised we hadn't & pulled out the biggest passport ever created, telling him he was #4. He asked about the 1st 3 & allowed us to conpare a sample of his similar brews. WoW - what a difference. He gave us a run-through and recommendations. I reluctantly took his advice & ordered the peanut butter brown nitro... it was DELICIOUS. Dreamy & creamy with a very subtle note of PB but without the icky artificial flavor that usually comes with peanut butter brews... I tasted the black IPA & even my cringe at IPA, tho admittedly dark beer loving, self found it to be quite good. Service 5Atmosphere 5Brews 5Price 5Maybe they'll let me live here.

Great drink they brew all the beer there and it's very tasty would have been 5 stars however the seats are very uncomfortable

Another visit to use our pubpass. They have a nice deck and sidewalk tables. We enjoyed our beers outside with our grand pups on a beautiful October afternoon. I had the Impersonator - Dopplebock. It's a dark, potent beer that was tasty. They had dog water dishes for the pups. Brother's Gutierrez was the food truck. We just wanted a snack and I asked for chips and salsa which wasn't on the menu but they gave us something much better. The chips were warmed and served with 2 cups of guacamole, a cup of pico, and a cup of melted cheese. Perfect. Great stop and a perfect to afternoon to soak up the sun outside.

The furthest from us in our @pubpassmsp @pubpass was @boathouse_bros. Well worth the drive. The seats are boat seats!! Lots of boating decor and you can't help but smile at all the decorations. They have a full pontoon seating on their patio. My fav part was the beer taps were floating boat keychains. Beer was tasty too but ambience definitely made this a great visit!!They occasional have food trucks outside in front but I did notice they have frozen pizzas as well!

Inaugural visit yesterday. Was greeted by Scott and Emmett, friendly fellows!! I told them the Giesenbrau assistant brewer had recommended the Birthday Cake Cream Ale and the Maelstrom DIPA. Scott promptly poured me a taster of the DIPA, and... it was delicious!! A higher ABV than I was looking for so they asked if I liked coffee beers? I was steered to the delicious Run-A-Gound. I had a pint of that and the Spiral collab Birthday Cake Cream Ale, both were palate-perfect delicious!! Noticing the floatable keychain taps and the boat seat I was sitting on I told Emmett I love when there's a theme and you run w it!! It was a 50* day so the garage doors were open, making it a comfortable visit. As it got later, quitting time, the brewery quickly filled up w friendly folks!! I really enjoyed every aspect of my visit; the friendly owner& staff, cool patrons, delicious beer and the space was just so comfortable! Street parking was easy. Looking forward to a future visit when I will have a flight or two to try the rest of the offerings! They have a seltzer w several different flavorings, from raspberry to mojito. Thanks Boathouse Brothers for such a delicious and enjoyable inaugural visit!! Cheers!

My wife and I drove 25 minutes south of Minneapolis to Prior Lake and this good sized restaurant is right on Main Street. There was also a bustling Farmer's Market going on.We sat near an open window, due to the virus and I ordered an IPA. Great IPA chosen off a great selection of beers.We chatted some more, and my wife made an Italian meat and cheese board, which paired beautifully with the hoppy beer.My last beer was an Oatmeal Cookie Porter. Very different than the IPA, but equally as good.There is a nature reserve we walked around for about an hour that helped burn some calories as well.Cool brewery in Prior Lake!

This place deserves five stars! We walked in and immediately the staff greeted us with friendliness and was attentive, patient and helpful. He made us feel like we belonged in this quaint, neighborhood brewery. If I lived in Prior Lake, I'd def frequent this place often!It's a laid back sea coast/lake vibe. I almost felt like the ocean could be right out the door, alas it's a frozen lake albeit beautiful! I got the flight of six and really glad I did! Sometimes it's hard to tell what will be a fave until we try them all! They had IPA, sour beer, lagers and dark beer. As a fan of dark beer, my two absolute faves were Doctor Punch and Base Porter by far. Decadently delicious!

Great spot in AV! I stopped here for some beers with my parents and there was a ton of seating and different areas where you could hang out. The vibe is good and it's pretty close to the water. I think you should give it a shot if you are looking for good beer and vibes.

What a cool and fun place! They beer was great, and there were quite a few options to choose from. The night I went (a thursday) there was live music, which was excellent! We were at the bar inside, but there is also outdoor seating. If hungry, most nights they seem to have a food truck out front. When there isn't a food truck they have pizza options available...nothing fancy, i think just frozen pizzas...but what else could you need? Great beer, great ambiance, love music...such a cool place.

Got the hazy IPA and it was flat and not very IPA. Definitely hazy. Felt like I was drinking beer syrup. Fun space though with big windows that open to outside by a counter to sit at. Unfortunately that means TONS of flies...
