Join us in the newest, coolest, hippest, trendiest neighborhood in Minneapolis – the North Loop – for a brewery adventure like no other in the Twin Cities. “NOLO” aka “the Warehouse District” is a vibrant neighborhood where old meets new and every block offers an invitation to stay longer. Minneapolis was a booming center for milling, manufacturing, and distribution from the 1800s into the 1930s as the city was being settled and the Dakota Territory was opening to settlers. Today, those beautiful brick buildings tell a new story through the city’s vibrant fashion, design, food, and drink scenes. Our Trendy North Loop brewery tour is a drinking experience that celebrates where we’ve been and where we’re going.  A drink of your choice is included at each brewery.
