If you need a guide to Minnesota breweries, the UNOB can help!


"Beers of the world, unite!"
The UNOB slogan

Bill Cassidy has begun a vitally important project for the UNOB: a guide to Minnesota breweries.Guide to Minnesota breweries
Submitted by Bill Cassidy
Additional info from Bryan Koolmeister

No one person could complete an ultimate guide to Minnesota breweries. That's why we're asking for YOUR help.

If you can submit more information, we want to hear from you. Perhaps you've taken a brewery tour of one of the brewers on this list and would like to write a report?

Have the knowledge of a brewer we've missed from this list, or written a review of any of these beers?

Whatever you can offer, please contact us at Last Orders. We'll credit you for your help with the project.

Guide to Minnesota Breweries

We'll add hyperlinks to the company websites wherever possible. As soon as beer reviews are available, the name of the beer will be hyperlinked to that review.
