My husband Scott and I have been combining our mutual love of walking and beer since our first date. The Twin Cities (and the rest of the state of Minnesota for that matter) are in middle of a brewery/cidery/distillery boom and we're regularly adding new destinations to our list.

Shout out to The Growler magazine for keeping an updated list of Minnesota breweries on your website.

All breweries are in Minnesota unless otherwise noted and mileage listed is based on our home in SW Minneapolis.
