This was the best brewery dinner place on the map. But, when I got there, the food was limited to snacks. Place looked subtly crowded and cool, but a letdown is a letdown and false advertising is false advertising. After a fairly expensive taxi ride from the airport Hampton in the late dinner hours, I decided to pass and walk to another place. The "cashier" was smiley and nice, and he did apologise about that.
Been coming here since they opened. They have come a long way and the beer has gotten a lot better(not that it was ever bad). Really like some of the higher ABV IPA's i've had over the last year, considering that was never their staple style. Owner is a nice guy. Great atmosphere. Beer is a touch on high side when it comes to pricing.. Considering many of their offerings are smaller pours, if most were a dollar less it'd seem to be more inline with other breweries, but admittedly I don't know where they source their ingredients or how much they pay for them. Great Brewery.
Love the location! Finally something for South Minneapolis! I love how even when you are inside it feels like you are outside, plus the bright colors are a breath of fresh air from some of the more rustic brewery settings! Not to mention the beer...it is amazing! Can't wait to come back!
Everything here is either sour or spontaneously fermented....love it! Get the Pash Bash when it's available!
Great beer, fun environment. Good to have in South Minneapolis.
A very cool brewery with a large variety of truly unique beers! A friendly staff as well. Highly recommend!
Love their beer. I really wish they d bring some of their brews back as a rotation and more importantly since their menu is ever changing. If it was possible to link a live menu to their website.
I absolutely love that this place is in the neighborhood. Great selection of beers. Unique beers to boot! Dog friendly and allows food other than the food truck that is there.
Family friendly, dog friendly, very experimental brewery. Always something funky and sour on tap. Top notch.
Stalin like atmosphere and vibe. Product was okay, and heavily tilted towards sour beers. If you enjoy a brown ale or something with body, go elsewhere. If you're a lemming with the taste for sour beers, I'm sure you'd be happy here.
The inside can be a bit loud, but get your beer and sit on the patio and it s nice. Raspberry Hibiscus is tasty and tart. Getting a growler and will be back.
I have fun here. Bar opens to a great patio. EXTREMELY DOG FRIENDLY!
I gave a 4 star review in protest. Put something cool on the wall behind the bar God damn it!
Then you will earn the 5th star Wild Minds!
Comedy show! Trivia, live music! Hit them up
Sourheads and Saison-sippers rejoice! Finally a place in MN that specializes in spontaneous, wild and farmhouse beers. They have lovely IPAs as well and really do a nice job with the juicy NE style. We're starting to see some beers of the same calibre as Rare Barrel, Perennial and others. They have a coolship and an expanding collection of foeders. Would love to go behind the scenes sometime, but I'm not sure if they are offering tours yet. WM is definitely in my top 5 breweries in the state and I'm excited to see how they'll grow in the coming years. My only wish is that they would get some better food trucks. My friend and I both got food poisoning after eating at the Mexican truck that I've seen there often. BUT, also know that Q-Fanatic is just around the corner and Pizza Luce delivers.
Great beer and atmosphere. But you must be patient. Bartender's lack hustle, stood in line for nearly 15 min to get our beers. 2nd time here and was the same.
Unique among breweries in the cities. The wild yeast gig is a nice twist. Beers were notable. The grapefruit pale, vivid gold double IPA, black berry sour, and coffee dark saison were all very respectable. Really nice seating area layout, very dog friendly, and on a nice day super fun to have the whole taproom area opened up. Make sure to add to your taproom attendance list. We will be returning to see what new fun wild brew they put on tap for the adventurous imbiber! Definitely make sure to stop in here and try it out!!
Good energy and crowd. Very warm in the evening sun. The cider lacked any real apple flavor unfortunately, but I'd probsbly still go back just for the atmosphere.
Cool vibe, bring tour jacket in case big doors are open! Food truck too.
Casual and friendly with wonderfully different brews.
Such an artsy atmosphere and amazing employees. Everyone was so nice and to top it of the beer was great and I highly recommend the gluten free pretzel!
Good beer selection. Great atmosphere! It is in an industrial area but then shows up as a beam of bright color.
7 blocks from our house, and this place is so awesome, and the beers are so good. Not much more to say, except only come often enough to keep this place in business, because we don't like BIG crowds. So come here and buy Crowlers and take them home. Thank you. P.S. my son from Japan also Loves the place. Great place to take a visitor.
Went here with a friend to try it. They make really good beer. I also really enjoyed that they allow pets inside. All the dog owners had very well behaved animals and were happy to have us meet them. They've got a great selection of beers and are happy to have you sample whatever you want to try. Nice setup, easy to move around and they have overhead garage doors for nice weather. Great, friendly staff. Great beer choices. Nice place.
Not a huge fan of the beer but you can't win them all. I'll second what a lot of people have said about the rules but what really sets this place aside is the service, which is trash.
Nothing better than sitting outdoors enjoying a good craft beer on a warm spring day.
Beers are all great! I tried two this time around, the Amaryllis (in honor of my friend's dog that passed recently) and Race Dog (in honor of my greyhound). Staff is very friendly and the place is an overall happy place to be. The best thing though is that dogs are allowed inside, which means I can take my beautiful greyhound with me!
Atmosphere is perfect for kids, dogs, families. The beer was very good! I had two different IPAs and then switch to the "Goldie Hans"! Great summer beer that is refreshing.
The selection felt kind of limited, but it was very good. I tried the Dante, West Coast Vibes, and Trippers Grove Gin Barrel Aged Cider, and was happy with all of them. The atmosphere was comfortable and seeing the dogs was really enjoyable.
Really wish they had more sours and less very average IPA beers. I can get very average IPA beers any where. How ever there are almost no local lambics etc.
Excellent beer and stellar staff. Isolated location makes it a great brewer's destination. A must visit in the MPLS brewery scene!
These guys seem to put out a new beer every week and they are always unique in the best way. A solid line up of regular beers keeps things familiar. Typically there is a great food truck on weekends outside or you can order delivery even bring in something to munch on. Always look forward to visiting.
They have a really fun selection of beers. The first time I went they have a Cava something or other that was to die for. They are always solid.
One down fall is the lack of food. They have food trucks but they are so unpredictable.
The big winner is they have Bingo! It s hard to find a good low key and normal bingo in Minneapolis
Great beer and even better customer service! COVID-19 has me leery to go many places lately, but Wild Minds gets 10/10 for their attentiveness, cleanliness, and spacing of customers.
Wild Mind is three place you want to go id you re looking for unique, tasty beer. Their rotation is always changing and the selection of beers will ensure you have a couple. Wild Mind has done an excellent job to make sure you are safe during Covid.
Super dog friendly with a nice selection of unique brews.
Great beer selection. Pick up a growler if you really love something. They rotate frequently through small batches.
The host was extremely unpleasant, the beer tastes like sewage. They haven't figured out how to reopen well. Come here if you'd like to waste your money.
Awesome beer and cool space but way too many kids and dogs.....parking is a problem too. Beer is awesome though and a brewery is about the beer and taproom and they excel in both areas.
Great atmosphere. I like how they have acoustic tiles on the ceiling so it s not so loud inside. Great beers, lots of beer you wouldn t find anywhere else. Lots of food truck activity as well.
Best brewery in Minneapolis. Shhhh, don't tell anyone...
Wonderful pops of color thought out the otherwise white building. Has a great indoor seating area and a delicious French Saison.
Delicious beers, no matter the choice and lovely-wonderful beertenders. I miss this place after moving away so much.
I saw this new brewery on Facebook and decided to check it out. What a great space, I love the decor, the colors, and the beer is great! I'll definitely be back!
Large selection with very interesting flavors. One of the more unique breweries in Minneapolis .
Really good brewery with lots of beer choices. Space was pretty good size, on a Saturday night we only had to wait 5 minutes for a table for 4 people. Had a food truck outside and you regular selection of snacks inside. Parking wasn't great but we were able to find a spot relatively quick. Had a really good sour ipa
Cute place, good covid protocols, good variety of drinks! Dog friendly
Love the atmosphere, great drinks and friendly vibes
Nice outdoor setting, good beer and very friendly staff!
Great Brewery! The beer is unlike anything you've ever tasted and they always rotate the tap list. Plenty of seating inside and out. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. The only downside is parking at times becomes a challenge due to the industrial neighbors with driveways.
Awesome space and great sour selection. There was a cool 3 piece jazz band playing on a Sunday afternoon.
Beer wasn't bad but I don't really want to drink a pint of a sour. They have over 10 beers on tap with half or more sours, which is great I'm a fan of that type of beer. However, they aren't allowing flights or even a tasting. Hard to drive there and enjoy more than one beer. I'm guessing that's due to COVID, but nearly every other brewery around offers flight. They don't even do half pints or half pours of their 8 or 12oz beers. I'll be back if that changes.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have a very open space with grass in the front. The inside is very colorful and tastefully decorated. I didn't love the IPA I had, but I believe that is because they seem to do unique twists to their beers, and I prefer a more traditional style IPA. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5.
I've been here a lot. Unique beers and patio. Great crowlers for takeaway in South Minneapolis. Very family and dog friendly. Cheers!
So many choices. Even for people that generally prefer wine to beer, there's something for everyone. Great atmosphere. The only thing I would change is having popcorn or something to snack on since there aren't any food trucks that stop by on Mondays. Not enough of an inconvenience for me to take off a star since I knew there weren't any food options when I decided to go there.
Delicious artisan ales - truly artisan, using local yeasts collected from around the state. Fun, colorful and bright atmosphere is dog and family-friendly.
Really some top notch beer here. Very distinct and complex flavors. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Comfortable atmosphere and pleasant staff.
I absolutely LOVED this brewery! Their beer was phenomenal, atmosphere was friendly, and I adored their color scheme. Highly recommend.
Great selection of beers on tap! The "Be the Machine" was deliciously thick and creamy, and the Cellar Beer: Elderflower was unexpectedly tart and refreshing. Their sours are the only ones I've come across that I not only like, but enjoy. Not sure which has more to do with it, the wild MN yeasts they use or their actual recipes/ brew process. Either way, they're stellar. No flights, which was the only drawback, but they do have half-pours. Big, airy, and spacious location with plenty of cross breeze to keep you cool when it's sunny. Dog-friendly, too!
Fun outdoor patio, good beer. Lots of afternoon sun
Great tap room, great beer, great staff. Dog and kid friendly. One of the best breweries in the twin cities. Always has a unique barrel aged sour on tap. These guys don't cut any corners
Huge selection compared to most breweries. Nice atmosphere inside and out. Dog and family friendly (though a little loud if inside with the doors closed, if that's going to bother your little one or doggo).
Weird beers. Cool vibe. All around cool place. Open area to sit outside with games to play.
Great beer BUT no service establishment should ever have a sign that says do not steal . Why don t you just throw all the other Ten Commandments on a sign while you re at it? It s about the most unwelcoming thing I could imagine putting in a bar (not to mention the MANY other rules posted all over the place). Just like, why? Your beer is good. People know they re not supposed to steal. Leave it at that!
Crowded but very good beer.. need to stop by again when I can enjoy more beers.
Had some really good beers and saw some really good comedy
Very cool place! The beers we're fantastic!! Very fresh and well made. The head Brewer was really fun to talk to and was very passionate about his beers. My only complaint is that the bartender wasn't very attentive and appeared to be somewhat drunk. Overall I was very impressed.
An always delicious array of styles. Try all of them.
Great beer,dog friendly and normally has a food truck.
Vern, Mat and the crew that serve the best are the best! If you have not found this hidden place you are missing out!
Cute place and good beer. A little drafty in the winter
One of my favorite breweries in the cities. A food truck is almost always parked nearby and the brewers really know their way around an ale.
Sometimes parking can be difficult to come by. Occasionally, their menu of beers can be a little too experimental. Don't let that stop you from going.
Wild Minds trots out some of the most ecclectic flavors and styles of beers that you'll find in the greater metro area. I find that their diversity is their strength and that while you may not like every beer, they almost certainly have flavors that appeal to all kinds of drinkers. With a very genuine atmosphere, this is a great brewery to go to for social events. This is certainly a gem in an otherwise mundane brewery market.
What a good experience. The open atmosphere is inviting. I preferred the sour beers (which were great) and most of my group loved the IPAs, etc...
Love this place. The beer selection is quite good and the staff is friendly.
Perfect atmosphere and beer; welcoming, fun, and relaxed setting with great beer to match! Can't wait to go back!
Great brewery with unique beers on tap. They tend to fall among the lighter fare in styles, and despite my tastes favoring heavier styles I really enjoy what they have to offer. Food trucks have been out front each time I visited.
