The Pantown Brewing Company

"Everything I would want in a brewery"- Robb Chung (my husband). To be fair, this man has not been to many breweries but we were in St. Cloud visiting family & my brother in law actually recommended checking out this place! He gave us a free pint chip so we had to come redeem! My husband ended up getting the Classic Cream Ale which he really enjoyed! I got the Bluemound Road Mulberry Sour that was also really tasty. What my husband loved most though is the super casual atmosphere of people chatting & the best part was there's a Vietnamese food truck outside!! I imagine the food truck rotates but the food (Saigon Express) is great quality, you can order from your phone, and she'll bring it in for you! When it's 5 degrees outside, you really can't beat that. We ended up staying for a cute date night and played Phase 10 without feeling rushed out or that they needed our table. The bartenders were all super sweet, let us try a few samples and we had a super great time!

Excellent spot to stop and grab a beer off the beaten path! This little brewery has an awesome variety and boasts a great selection. The service is excellent and and personable and we loved all the historic fun photos and images that decorate the space. It's a very back yard neighborly patio vibe and you get awesome views of the brew equipment right in the tap room. We would gladly come back again to this little watering hole!

Hidden back behind some office buildings in St. Cloud is Pantown. They are knocking out some serious IPAs, fruited sours / whats, classic styles, and even some experimental (see Bumfuzzle below!). Cabin-like feel inside with some industrial accents in addition to a patio with shaded cover it is great for a happy hour or an any hour beer.BumfuzzleA Brown Sour aged in Whiskey Barrels that were used to age cider. Mild apple flavors, vanilla / oak / bourbon medium, and a malty tartness that rounds the beer out. A very complex and dynamic beer!Hoedown HefeweizenA traditional German Hefeweizen brewed with 100% German malts, hops, and yeast. Medium banana and clove flavor, dough aroma with a slight fruitiness, and medium-light body. Refreshing summer beer that celebrates what a Hefeweizen should be.Things We Don't SayA Hazy New England IPA hopped with El Dorado, Azacca, and Cashmere. This beer was brewed in partnership with over 150 breweries, Hope for the Day, and The Beautiful Mind Project to raise awareness / funds for mental care in the industry. The recipe follows the original by Eagle Park Brewing on top of their Hazy NE IPA Base. Full of hop aroma and flavor, medium bitterness, and a hazy medium body. A great representation of the industry collaboration.Plum PeachyA Sour with Plum, Peach, and Black Currant. They had enough Sours and fruited Wheats to do three flights worth, so I had to ask the beertender what she would recommend. She said this beer was almost out so I took my chances on it since it was very popular. Pleasant mild tartness with medium sweetness. A lot of complexity with the fruit choices that made for a juicy and unique sour.

Hi, I'm visiting from California and I LOVE LOVE this "the classic cream ale." My family has a coffee farm in Hawaii and needless to say I'm a coffee addict. This is the best coffee beer I've ever had!!! Much appreciation to keeping the real coffee flavor. You guys did an amazing job!!!There are so many other beers that I highly recommend: beermosa (come on ladies, who doesn't like a mimosa and add a beer to it...... amazing!!!! Flew this home too!) The Neapolitan, fuzzy, if you like IPAs thd 1917 and resurrection. I 100% highly recommend this brewery to visit when you're in town. The bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. One of the best breweries I've been to.

This brewery is WORTH the drive from the cities.... if not for all the beers, the comfy digs and the friendly staff.... he Drop Forge Milk Stout....alone!!!! Hands down! HANDS DOWN the BEST milk stout I've ever had!!!! The staff is always friendly and informative. Brewer Nick doesn't brew good beer... he only brews DELICIOUS beer!! The last few times I've been in I've opted for a flight... or two, just so I can try so many of what's available. But I'm telling you, despite how great all the beers are..... Drop Forge is my reason for the drive!!! This is the last stop of my St Cloud Trifecta Trek!! I start @ Back Shed, head a mile to Bravo Burritos, then another mile here!! It's the most delicious trifecta you'll ever have!! Pantown is tucked away off the main drag but definitely worth the trip!! Cheers!!

When I heard that a new brewery opened in St. Cloud, I was a bit skeptical. It seems like there are always good intentions for breweries in this area but nothing quite lives up to my expectations. I decided to check out Pantown on a Saturday night. It's located in a kind of random location in what seems like an apartment or business complex. Despite of the industrial outside feel, when I walked inside, I was welcomed with a modern, refreshing brewery. It was extremely welcoming, hip and had a great layout. I laughed when I saw the giant tree trunk with nails in t, just waiting to be used. I love how they have the equipment exposed that makes the beer. Always a great brewery feature. We decided to sit in the loft area upstairs which was quieter. There are comfy couches and tons of board games. Onto the beer: they had 6 beers on tap with 2 IPAs, a stout, red ale, fruit beer and a blonde beer. I opted for the strawberry beer and it was delicious. I knew ahead of time there weren't any sours in the menu and I hope they eventually add one on! The beer is fairly priced and delicious, the staff is extremely friendly and the environment is great. Overall, this is a great addition to the St. Cloud area and I look forward to seeing what great beers are in the menu next!

If you want to find a good brewery while in central MN, it really isn't too hard. There's a lot of great places in the area! However, Pantown might be my new fave in this region of MN. The space is large with an upstairs loft area! So, even when it is busy, you can still find a spot. The beers were delicious! Between my fiance and I, we tried six total. If you like fruit beer or sours, you are in for a treat! We will be back soon!

Always enjoy a good microbrewery and this is definitely one to try. The staff was very knowledgeable and made some great recommendations.

Solid brewery, great ambiance w/ a small outdoor seating area, inside seating and a small loft/upstairs. Snacks (flavored popcorn and pretzels available for purchase). Good selection of swag. Very friendly staff w/ covid precautions in place (masks, table distancing). Most beer options were fruit and sour, Hefeweizen and wheat. Only one milk stout available during this visit.

First time here. Location down a dead end street from Short Stop Chicken. Not the best location for a brewery. This is what I tried: Strawberry Dream which is Cream Ale and strawberries. Too sweet and 4.2 % ABV. This is starting to be a pet peeve of mine. Quit adding fruit to beer! Why ruin a good thing. Must be a millenial thing to do. Cream Ale 5.5% ABV good but not growler good. Also tried Clodoald at 8.1%ABV and Seville Grapefruit Wheat. The brewery seemed small but had an upstairs. Maybe I'll return if in area next. Wasn't overly impressed with the beers. Step up your game.
