Excelsior Brewing Company

A great spot for a brew. I was staying just down the road dog sitting this past week and I made here twice. They are dog friendly so I made sure to direct one of our walks out this way on a sunny Thursday spring afternoon. The place was buzzing with happy Minnesotans and friendly bartenders (brew tenders? . Service was super quick and there were tables available. There was even a Girl Scout going table to table selling cookies. Pretty good business model if you ask me. There was also a private party going on in the back. The second time I came was on a Saturday evening around 7. They had a live band and the place was packed! There was also a surprise birthday party going on, so seating was q...

Noticed a new sign that was hung up reading something like, “This taproom is not a playground. Please keep your kids and dogs with you at all times” (kids and dogs being underlined). While I understand that you don’t want kids running around the brewery, I immediately thought of my 20 month old toddler who has a hard time sitting still and wants to explore any new area. This sign made me feel embarrassed about bringing him to the brewery and worried staff members would make comments about it. The other aspect of putting dogs and kids under the same category also rubbed me the wrong way kids are humans too lol. If the brewery is really worried about kids ruining the vibe, maybe provide a litt...

Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name! and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!

You know the beer is good but the past few times I have been the staff has been very rude and unwelcoming. We were there from 4pm-6:30pm on a Saturday- pretty bare and we had our kiddos with us. The amount of dirty looks and rude comments about our kids was crazy. Will not be back. Felt unwelcome with our littles and got confronted about having them play and dance to music. If you are looking for a family friend fly place- this isn’t it. It’s too bad. Reserva una mesa ahora

My husband and I came from Ohio to celebrate his birthday and we had some time to kill before attending Paisley Park for our tour. So we stopped at this establishment and the staff and the people in the area were friendly. As for the brew I'm not a beer drinker but I did try the Rosé seltzer and it was really good. Hubby and I definitely had a great experience!

Was there for a fundraising pub crawl. Staff was great. Fun little place. Not a beer guy, but they had a hard seltzer beer I could take that was good. If you are a craft beer guy, give it a shot. Several beers on tap and they also had some kind of beer to go thing that I glanced at, but was beers on cans.

Gave one star because zero was no option. Terrible beer. Atmosphere was horrible. Would not recommend to anyone in any situation. Also the floor always looks and feels greasy.
