Hoppy Girl Brewing — Restaurant in Wabasha

The owner was extremely unwelcoming and rude, so we left and went to a much better brewery: Reeds Landing!

I didn’t even the chance to sit down before Brenda rudely approached us. Because there multiple were dogs in there when we arrived, we had know idea this establishment was NOT dog friendly. My dog made noise but didn’t growl when meeting some other puppies who were in the patio who also made a noise at him. Everything was fine until Brenda came barreling in and made it a scene. She was extremely rude and the experience was escalated hugely by her rude actions.

The other guests and their puppies were fine with us being there. The other family also felt she handled the situation rudely when we spoke with them afterwards.

Dogs sometimes make noise when they meet, and it doesn’t need to be made into a big deal. The sign wasn’t visible, and the dogs in the patio led us to believe dogs were allowed in the patio.

Reads Landing has a wonderful area where they allow dogs, and they even always bring us treats!

This may be a woman owned business, but the owner is not supportive of other women or locally...

Wow, you simply need to check this place out. Overall, I'm a tough critic and once in a while I run into something truly special. I'll avoid going overboard, but simply stated this is a town square with fantastic tap list (try their brew or the guest tap list) and atmosphere. The feel and vibe is like visiting your coolest neighbor or best friend with all th accomodations you could want. Board games, shade, music, coloring books, nice bathrooms, the list goes on... Can't wait to visit this place again along with my kids and spouse (kid's eat free ice cream... Wait what?)

Beer is on point, barrel aged ten fidy from Oskar blues...? Wait lulipulin IPAs... House Russian Imperial Stout, yes please! Again, stop for the beer, and stay for the atmosphere. At this point I need to get back to coloring the superhero coloring book with the kiddo. Cheers, and can't wait to...

This brewery is amazing! I was ecstatic to drive by the building and catch a glimpse of the sign that said "Back Alley Brewing Co". YES. So happy there's finally a brewery in Wabasha! And not just any brewery with any old beer... Ford (head brewer) makes incredible beers! We tasted the Mango Milkshake IPA, the Triple Black IPA, the Salted Caramel Milk Stout, and the Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian Dark Ale. I'd give each one 5/5 stars. He knows how to brew! The tap room is so cozy and inviting. The pizzas there are delicious. You have to order one! Brenda and Ford are so much fun - engaging, quirky, easy-going, and down to earth. There are games to play and a TV to watch sports. I can't wait to come back to sit outside at the picnic tables and enjoy a brew in the fresh air. Thanks for an unforgettable experience and addictively...
