Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Minnesota's first commercial brewery, founded in 1848 and revived in 2016, now runs a European-focused beverage program with 15 taps and close to 200 cold bottles and cans. Bavarian-style Yoerg beers are brewed on premise and always on tap. The kitchen's reach extends to a large monastery-beer selection served in glassware direct from the brewery or monastery, plus 18 artisanal wines by the glass under $9 and a bottle list with locally rare German Rieslings.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Yoerg house beer brewed on premise, then move through the rotating Belgian and German taps or a monastery beer served in its brewery-specific glass. Wine drinkers can work through the 18 artisanal by-the-glass options under $9, or go to the bottle list for a rare German Riesling.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want European breadth without leaving the Midwest, and wine drinkers who value a deep under-$10 by-the-glass list alongside a serious Riesling bottle selection.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- On-premise Bavarian-style Yoerg brewing sits alongside a claimed national-high monastery beer selection, each served in a glass direct from the brewery or monastery. A revived 1848 Minnesota brewery with close to 200 European bottles and cans is a specific combination.
