Mankato Brewery - North Mankato

I am giving four stars because the beer was good. Service could have been better. It seemed like a college hangout, which is fine if you are in college but can be annoying if not. Good indoor seating. They have a stage for live music. Outdoor patio wasnice and spacious. Dog friendly is always a plus! A nice place to stop for a good beer!

Have fun. I felt like home. Open concept sessions in full view of the operation. Residential and a small arcade above the bar area.

We have been coming here for many years and truly enjoy this place. It's a casual vibe with a great selection of beers that is always changing. For basic beer fans, the Kato Lager is a good choice. We also like the Cross Czech Pils (seasonal), Rhuby Sour and Organ Grinder. Mankato Brewery is also community-minded and have limited-run brews that benefit local nonprofits as well as host events that give back. Their outdoor space is dog-friendly and occasionally has food trucks. Even though they don't serve their own food, patrons can bring their own or order in.

Great brewery in an industrial area near North Mankato. Awesome service on a Sunday afternoon! We tried a couple of tasty brews: Organ Grinder Amber Ale their Oktoberfest. Both were wonderful, especially after a nice 25 mile bicycle ride on the Mankato River Ramble. The Mankato Brewery was a sponsor for this years ride-thank you Mankato Brewery!

We stopped in after a 25 mile bike ride. Thanks to Minsips, we enjoyed a couple of two-for-one beers. The Oktoberfest was good and the cream ale was nice also.
