Northern Brewer is expanding again… to Minneapolis.

“For 18 years, Northern Brewer’s goal has been to foster the enjoyment of brewing, drinking, and sharing great beer, so we are very excited to announce Northern Brewer Minneapolis, opening Fall 2011. NB St. Paul will always be the heart of our company; NB Milwaukee will always be our second home; and our new flagship at 6021 Lyndale will become the template for all our future retail stores and will serve as a blueprint for bringing the Northern Brewer experience in person to more communities in the years to come. Cheers”
