Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative (Craft Beer & Brewery in Minneapolis MN)

Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative is a member‑owned craft outfit in Minneapolis that treats brewing like a club meeting rather than a boardroom. Ownership is shared among the people who actually drink the beer, so the focus stays on community collaboration instead of profit margins. Their taproom feels like a private tasting room you’ve sneaked into – every pint is presented with a grin and a hint of mischief, especially when you spot the experimental THC‑spiked water on the menu (don’t worry, the rest of the line is perfectly respectable).

The beer list reads like a playful challenge to any palate: a hefty Scottish‑style ale that could stand up to a winter storm, a citrus‑punchy IPA that smells like a summer garden, and a rotating roster of pilot brews you can actually help create at their monthly brewer roundtables (the founders (who’ve been swapping recipes for years) insist the best ideas come from the floor). The atmosphere mixes brewing with gaming – think pool tables, a coffee bar, and a dog‑friendly patio that overlooks the river. Friendly staff are on hand to cater to events and groups, making the place as welcoming as it is inventive.
