Urban Growler

This brewery had a cool, inclusive vibe. They sell cans you can take home and a variety of merch. Seemed like a perfect place for a large gathering of sorts. The service was also fast and friendly. Orders:Sour puss: I LOVE sours, and this one was great. Mango and apricot. I wish they had more of a selection of sours to try, but drinking this all night was just fine. Poutine: if you're looking for a traditional poutine, this is not it. It felt more like eating a baked potato rather than poutine. There wasn't enough gravy to account for the thickness of the potato wedges or warm the cheese curds all the way through. Overall, would not order this again. Chips and dips: the chips and beer cheese were fantastic! Def wish I ordered this before being filled with potatoes. People at my table also ordered fries, tots, and burgers, which looked pretty good. Would definitely come back!

My friends and I adventured her as part of the patio passport program they had for Visit St Paul. They also had a deal for bogo free. Back at the time we went it was Pride month and they had a themed drink. We ordered that and a cosmo beer cocktail. The pride drink was festive but I overall didn't care for it (also not a big beer drinker). I'd come back to try other items though. They had a small food menu as well. The patio was decent sized and it looked like they do live music and such out there. For sure a nice spot to grab a drink and hangout. Industrial looking inside.

A great local brewery with some character, nestled in a unique urban setting. I was impressed by their food selection, especially the Fish Fry! The outdoor patio area is especially nice, with hanging lights and plenty of seating. I also really appreciated how they had a self-serve water barrel with reusable cups, bonus points for sustainability.

This place is tucked away on the far side of St. Paul in and industrial area. The space itself is really nice and much larger than you expect. Food is also available here, we just didn't order any the day we went.The bartender was very friendly and full of recommendations. We knew we were planning to take some beer home to-go, so they also let us know we could mix and match and gave some great recommendations for to enjoy later.Tried the jalapeño cream ale and there was also a pride selzer, which was a coconutty delight. Both were excellent.Can't wait to come back and try whatever new is on the menu.

Stop #36 on our 2024 Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour We're over 1/3 of the way to our goal of 100 for 2024! Strolled up on Friday with the intent of hitting fish fry Friday whilst collecting another stamp & hit half of that. The gent un front if us ordered the last fish - boo. We skipped the food and ordered our stamp BOGOs. I opted for the Irish-style dry Stout on Nitro, giving it a 3.75 & the hubs went with the IPA Tornado Drill at a 4.25. Service was good & we were able to grab a seat on the patio & it was a beautiful evening . We came in at $8.15, before tip.The place has hopping & the scent of fried fish still lingered as we departed... next time, next time.

Went with a friend to hangout and read our books. This was a great spot because they serve food and drinks. They do have a really nice outdoor space but it was a bit windy out so we sat inside. I got one of their cocktails, it was okay, I would have liked to try a THC seltzer but they only had them as an option if you were taking to go. For food, I got the sampler with tots, curds, and fries with beer cheese. It was delicious and great for me since I couldn't pick just one!

This was a cool place to go for a beer. Loads of parking, and while the seating area is modest, there were several seats at the bar. I was served quickly, and sampled the three IPAs on tap. Good quality beer!

*Review for Hosting Barrel Room Event*We hosted an event at Urban Growler in the Barrel Room. The space was perfect for about 50 guests to have dinner and dance. We fit numerous vendors, 6 round tables, and a dance floor with no problem (and no room turnover)! The drinks were great. The catering menu was fine and we appreciated UG's ability to accommodate vegetarians and other dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, we had some difficulties with UG's event coordinator - the first coordinator we were working with left UG with no warning to us, the second was very inconsistent with communication and told us he would not be present for our event with only a few hours notice. One of our vendors even complained to us about the unresponsiveness of the second event coordinator which added to our stress. We heard UG is switching up the event staffing, so hopefully it will be better in the future. That said, Van and Kallie (two UG employees who stepped up on the day of our event) were fantastic and made the event a success! I would still recommend booking a bigger event at UG, but you have to really be on top of your own planning (or maybe specifically request Kallie)!

Walked in to the sweet smell of fried food and a good time. The five of us were hooked up with individual flights of 5 beers. The presentation was exemplary, and the beers did not disappoint. The Cowbell Cream Ale and Vanilla Latte Blonde Ale were a fan favourite that were too good to describe. Highly recommend for all beer lovers as an intermediate location for a small bite to eat with beverages for all palettes worldwide.

Great, inclusive brewery and kitchen that has an area stable in their cream ale. We finally made the trip again after a long time for their famous Fish Fry Friday and were not disappointed! The service was crazy fast and friendly. The bartenders and food runners all went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The building is very cute with a rustic vibe and dog friendly patio. We got their märzen and "candy corn" cream ale to drink and both were really good. Nice malty märzen without being too sweet. The cream ale didn't taste like candy and just built on the solid base of their cream ale. Just added more "creamy" mouth feel. Their fried walleye was fantastic as well. Insanely flakey and tender with a nice, light panko coating. I'm not a huge fry-fan but their fries were really good!Overall we love the people, beer, food, and message of the brewery. Can't way until our next trip.
