This is a unique brewery unlike anything you'll find in the twin cities metro area. First, this brewery is chalk full of history. While this location is not the original brewery (which burnt down in the 50s), the building is about 110 years old, and is decorated in a way that does justice to the historic nature of the building.

Second, the brewery really is more known for its imported European beer, including about ten that are on tap. The brewery does offer three of its own brews, which again, are historic in nature.

Third, the bartender is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the beers offered. Many of the beers are special releases and may be difficult, if not nearly impossible, to find in the USA.

Prices are a touch on the high side, but after paying the tab, you'll still feel like you received decent value.

The brewery does offer food, which is nice. There are multiple options (more than most breweries).

The brewery offers flights (4 ounce pours). Only the beers on tap are eligible, and due to the extensive beer menu, you will assuredly find some beers you wish you could taste instead of buying a pricy bottle.

There really are only three downsides to this brewery. First, the parking isn't great (on street parking only). Second, the Yoerg beer really isn't that good. Having only three beers is limiting, and the styles are not creative. Instead, they are definitely outdated (think beer designed for 150 years ago). Third, they charge two and a half percent credit card fee (with a tiny note on one page of the menu, but otherwise without disclosure until you receive your bill). I understand the cost of doing business is going up, but I really find this in bad taste as most people are paying by credit cards anyways.
