St. Paul Brewing is located in a historic St. Paul... Brewery! This craft beer place features excellent beer, that rotate through the seasons. But it's the location that shines here; The outdoor patio is actually a courtyard, with eclectic and interesting decor throughout. The inside drinking area is spacious, with cozy sofa areas, large group tables and more interesting decor. It's inside a landmark building in St. Paul (the old Hamms brewery!), and the architecture is sure fun to look at as I'm drinking a fine beer! Well worth the visit. The only downside to St. Paul Brewing is the parking lot - it's really really dark, with few lights, large potholes, even construction rubble throughout. Not very good parking, but hey, you don't come to a craft brewery for the parking, right???!!! Note: The parking lot is also not very well marked when you enter from Minnehaha. So go slow, and use Google Maps. UPDATE: I was just there a couple of nights ago to take advantage of the new porter beer that is on tap. With the punch card for "porterfest" (see my photos), they are rotating through some very unique porters right now. So fun! The Christmas decorations are also very unique and nicely done. I especially loved seeing the growler Christmas tree (again, see my photos!). I love St. Paul Brewing! Edit: Of course, I've been back to St. Paul Brewing several times after this original review. A "regular", you could call me? I bounce around. Anyway, the patio is open, and they added a SUPER AMAZING canoe, that is a outside propane heater! OK, See my photos, you won't believe it! SO COOL! And warm, too. Still love the beer selection, and the keg urinals is also fun (gotta be a guy to appreciate a unique urinal!). Way to go, Saint Paul Brewing!

The staff was amazingly helpful, friendly and accommodating. The patio is a must see. The flowers and greenery are unmatched by any brewery nationally. I mean the gardener does an exquisite job! It's a huge area that can accommodate over a 100 people and is well spread out with many different seating ootionsm The pizza is also very good, although I found the prices charged were different than the menu prices (I was overcharged some significantly. Given the inflationary environment, I chose not to say anything about it, but perhaps I should have). The beer unfortunately needs improvement for this to be a higher rated place. Their porters are good, but the other beers were below average for a microbrewery. The other patrons make people watching very interesting. There's a real "wokey" vibe here (which is good or bad depending on your opinions). Parking is free but severely limited. They have a forced tip of 18%. While I can appreciate this perspective (our society is way too overly focused on tipping for everything), I believe it would be better suited to have the prices adjusted upward, and then not doing any mandatory tip. Some may say this would be a distinction without a difference, but I would be more inclined to support the concept if the prices were all inclusive. The old building (it's the old Hamms brewery) is chalk full of history. Definitely a must see. When the beer improves, I'll be back!

St Paul Brewing is under The same ownership as Can Can Wonderland and it has a similar po-mo, nonconventional, and post apocalyptic design element. You may find your grandmother‘s outdoor aluminum chairs or the hard plastic high school chairs you sat and during ninth grade mass class. This place is nothing if not nostalgic, if you are of the right age to catch the references. There’s a corpse hanging over the courtyard suspended, one can only assume this vagabond in the shopping cart tussled with a tornado and came out on the losing side. Imbibe next to an Alumacraft Canoe, mock fireplace, bocce ball court, hidden gardens, splendiferous wood floor pantheons, or bellyup old school to the bar. Food offerings include delicious pizzas, salads, and ravioli. We found the outshined 2.0 pizza to be particularly tasty. There is even a dog menu and dogs were a plenty during our visit. Bring a group of friends because this place is most enjoyed by a bunch. Great staff, excellent service.

I had my wedding reception at Saint Paul Brewing and was thoroughly impressed with both the service and the overall ambiance. We had a group of about 50 people and opted for their "semi-private" option, which turned out to be perfect. The servers were attentive, kind, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Despite the semi-private setting, we had ample space reserved just for us. The outdoor areas are stunning for photos, and the interior is equally beautiful. Our photos turned out amazing. (s/o @racheldesjardinsphotography) A major highlight was the wide selection of beverages, including wine, beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options, catering to all our guests' preferences. We ordered a variety of appetizers, cheese boards, and desserts, all of which were a big hit. Thank you so much, Saint Paul Brewing—you’ll always be one of my favorite places!

Update: Ordered 2, $7 beers and was told my total was $18.19... never shown the total or breakdown... assuming the bartender added a generous tip or they have an aggressive service charge at the bar. .. I'm fine tipping but it should be at my discretion. If I would have sat at a table and ordered, and paid the 18% service charge the total would have been $16.52 with the beer delivered. Prior review: First time here since it was Flat earth... i liked their hazy infusion ipa but not much else. I didn't have a reservation and check in was very slow. You order online and tip is built in... i honestly really dislike this setup as you don't really get to discuss the beers with anyone. I love they have done a great job rehabbing the old Hamm's brewery, just wish I loved their beer as much as the venue.

This place is a hidden gem. The building is spectacular, rich with the history of the Hamm’s brewery in which it is located. The beer is wonderful with a great variety of styles that are all hand stirred, fire brewed, and made one batch at a time (such dedication and appreciation for the beer). Dog friendly inside and out. The patio is epic, with 4 fire pits, you forget you’re on the edge of Downtown. If that wasn’t enough, they do happy hour Sunday-Thursday from noon-7...yes they open at noon! They usually have food trucks on the weekend but they are super cool about bringing your own food so it is a great place to hang out by yourself or with a big group of people. It is always the first stop when I have friends and family in town. Seriously the coolest spot in Saint Paul.
