It does not. Solid recommendation though! Quality has dramatically improved in the last year. They have had a fruity cider on the last couple times I have been there, too.(I don't know if rail goes anywhere near)

Barrel Theory is a must-try and light rail makes it easy. A lot of local beer traders hang out there, kind of a headquarters. Tim is one of the brewers, he's super cool, everyone else who works there is great, just a great spot to hang out.Hey y'all, I'm heading to Minneapolis next Thursday for work. I don't really have to do **** until Friday so I was planning on brewery hopping. Staying downtown and trying to do uber/light rail.
I've been to Surly before and dug it, but was hoping to check out new spots. Barrel Theory is really the only thing I am dead set on hitting. Hazy IPAs, pilsners, saisons, and ciders are mainly what I'm after.
If anyone wants to touch tips/bottle share/etc... let me know. I may also have some free time on Fri/Sat night, but not sure yet.
I was in TC for work this summer, though we stayed out in the burbs.
I really enjoyed Wild Mind Ales - great setting, they had many AWAs (I know, not on your list), but also at least several saisons, and one pilsner/one hazy IPA.
Their main site seems to be having trouble right now, but I bet some of the pics here will seal the deal:

Looks like about a 15 minute ride from downtown (I don't know if rail goes anywhere near).
Barrel Theory was indeed excellent too.

Town Hall is easy to get to from anywhere in downtown, it's a short Uber,train stop nearby, and you can bikeshare/walk depending on where you're staying. They'll probably have something barrel aged on and they make excellent hoppy stuff and also do solid pils, Marzen, helles, wee heavy, porters, etc.
Fulton and Modist over in the North Loop are also good close stops. Modist has a very good hazy IPA, Dreamyard, and everything else they do is interesting and different.
Fulton has solid hops, and some barrel aged stuff if you're lucky, and they do a few saison/farmhouse beers. They have a vintage bottle list, BA Libertine is kind of like a lighter barleywine, really good barrel character. They also have BA saisons/farmhouse on that list from what I remember.
Wild Mind is very good, not as close but worth a visit and pretty close to my house.
I think I'll be pretty free if you want to hang out.
I have Thursday and Friday off wuntrikpony. Down to be your chauffeur/tour guide of you so choose. Guessing sacrelicio and a few others (Minnesotaryan Sender1) would be down to grab a few.

It's a shame, I wish some other punks would take it over.http://m.startribune.com/minneapoli...-club-to-close-before-thanksgiving/451131533/
End of an era...wish I would've known, I would've made time to go by on my trip this summer.

Are you?Are you camping/going?

You guys know each other, right? If Lindsey goes without me can she Uber home with you Justin?Are you?
Do not know Nivek.You guys know each other, right? If Lindsey goes without me can she Uber home with you Justin?
The drunkest band I ever saw was Lucero at the Triple Rock. Singer and bass player put down a bottle of bourbon during the opening band.http://m.startribune.com/minneapoli...-club-to-close-before-thanksgiving/451131533/

Do not know Nivek.
And yes, Lindsey can definitely Uber with me, unless I bike, which I might, but I might not. I know that's not terribly helpful.
Over in North Loop is Modist and Fulton, both worth visiting. Modist is all about the hazy hops and flavored stouts, with a few other styles, I think they have a fruited sour or two. Fulton I'd say is pretty standard, but solid and diverse enough, IPAs to saisons to lagers to stouts. North Loop is an easy light rail trip or bikeshare trip, or a long walk.I'll be in Minneapolis this week. I'll be staying downtown (near US Bank Stadium). What breweries would yall recommend I visit during my time here? Preferably places easily accessible via Light Rail, or a not too expensive uber/lyft ride. I'm not too picky about styles, lean towards IPA's and sours/farmhouse, but am certainly open for suggestions.

If you want to venture out, I'd take the Green Line, stop at Surly and then head on to downtown St. Paul to check out Barrel Theory.

New Ulm is farWhat about Starkeller?
When do you arrive/leave? Fairstate is another great option as is Blackstack. I might be free to grab a drink or two if you’re looking for a drinking partner.I'll be in Minneapolis this week.
