Minnewaska House Brewing Co + Grill in Glenwood, Minnesota, is a place where the only thing more daring than the décor is the beer list. From the moment you step inside, you realise they’ve abandoned the bland and embraced the bizarre – a philosophy that would make a pretentious sommelier blush.
Their lineup includes the unforgettable Sugar Booger (the name alone deserves a grin), a malt‑forward brew that somehow feels like a dessert without the guilt. The Triple Berry Sour Beer is a masterclass in balance, tart enough to make your tongue tingle but sweet enough to keep you reaching for another. Both are brewed on site with a precision that would impress even the most skeptical palate.
Food here is as unapologetically bold as the drinks. Thick‑cut sweet potato fries arrive crisp and fragrant, while the ribs—available only on special request—are smoked to a caramelized finish. The house salad earns extra points thanks to crouton toast, a crunchy twist that turns a simple side into something worth writing home about.
Many reviewers praised the establishment's friendly service, delicious menu options like chicken oscar and sweet potato fries, and highly-recommended beers, such as the Sugar Booger Triple Berry Sour Beer. Food was generally very good, with some notable standout dishes.
