Forgotten Star Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Fridley MN)

Forgotten Star Brewing Co. in Fridley, Minnesota is what you'd get if a WWII‑era warehouse decided it was fed up with storing munitions and opted for hops instead. The massive, high‑ceiling space has been turned into a vibrant taproom where the only artillery is a row of gleaming taps, each delivering craft beers that taste like they were brewed with a genuine love of the job.

The menu changes as often as the rotating food trucks outside, so you can pair a silky porter with a taco one day and a crisp pale ale with a gourmet grilled cheese the next. Patrons can lose themselves in a sea of board games, take part in trivia, or even join a curling league—because nothing says “serious beer drinking” like sliding stones on ice while nursing a stout (who clearly love a good game night). The extensive outdoor patio stretches like a summer runway, and the staff are so friendly you’ll feel they’re part of the brew itself. With regular painting nights and community‑focused events, every visit feels less like a transaction and more like joining a well‑organised, slightly mischievous club.
