22 Northmen Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Alexandria MN)

22 Northmen Brewing Company sits in Alexandria, Minnesota, where the Viking spirit meets Mid‑western grit. Their lineup reads like a saga: craft lagers that glide smoother than a seasoned sailor, adventurous ales that dare you to try something new, and original blends stamped with the trademark Beerventurous® badge. Each brew pulls in oddball ingredients, turning a simple pint into a tale of raiding longboats and Minnesota winters.

Step into the taproom and you’re hit by a splash of Scandinavian design: clean lines, dark wood, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you forget you’re far from the fjords. Grab a stout while a local band riffs away, or join a trivia night that rewards more than just knowing your beer styles. The kitchen serves wood‑fired pizzas with a crust so perfect it could win a culinary battle, alongside a surprisingly authentic French lemonade that actually tastes French. The staff (who seem to have a secret handshake) are warm and efficient, making the whole place feel like a well‑run family gathering. Whether you’re hunting a new IPA, a pale ale, or just a good laugh, 22 Northmen delivers quality without pretension.
