Shakopee Brewhall - Brewery & Coffee House — Restaurant in Shakopee

I'll admit when I just heard the name I thought it was just a beer hall like New Bohemia, so didn't think much. However recently was checking out the places that are doing the #resilienceipa and came across this. Going online I realized the err in my way. After work ventured over, small spot tucked in downtown Shakopee. Loved this spot and their easy to read "pay it forward" board for friends and workers. Then also found out they have an upstairs patio?! I'll be back for that this spring. After ordering my first flight a gentleman came by and asked if it was my first time. That noticable huh? He asked my have and introduced himself as the owner and we chatted about his I heard about it/live around here. The person serving me was the manager and he was super friendly, talking with every guest for extended amount of times. I then began chatting with a man around my age to my left about beer/Bourbons and an older guy on my right about his life drinking cheap beer/his father working for cheap beer companies. Found out both were apart of the beer membership and loved this place. I will agree, their beer was fantastic. Now to the beer: Munich helles I'd drink all day everyday. Peach/vanilla milkshake is godly good with full flavor that I wish mikler could bring (also had to buy a crowler to allow people at work to try it) . Peanut butter Porter smells like Reese's pieces and tastes like it (little less sweet so perfect). The coffee Porter is fine, but very one dimensional and the cold press coffee seems to water it down or give it a day old coffee flavor. Had two half pours of their barreled beers, both are a fine punch burn to the gut. Their resilience tasted a bit like weed with a lighter West...

Their Magic Feather is the gold standard for peanut butter porters. I'd dare to say that it's better than Dangerous Man's PB porter, which would make it the best in the state in my opinion. There's a natural, real peanut butter flavor (rather than artificial, like a lot of PB porters out there).

Every beer I tried here either had an interesting twist, or simply had great and clear flavor.

I also really loved the atmosphere and decor. Shakopee already has a bit of a small-town feel, and this brewery played into that very well but with a modern take. The lighting was cozy and warm, the wainscoting on brick gave it a modern feel with some throwback roots, and the bar itself was very well-designed (right down to the cool tile work around the bar butted up against wood flooring in the rest of the brewhall). My wife pointed out the hooks to hang her purse underneath the bar, and each outlet had USB ports in case you need to give your phone a quick charge. It seems most newer breweries are adding these touches, but it's still worth pointing out because it's clear a lot of great work went into designing this space.

Kid and dog friendly, excellent service, a good crowd, and great beer. It's definitely worth checking out! My wife and I are glad we did and we'll...
