Disgruntled Brewing sits about 180 miles north of the Twin Cities, in the no‑nonsense town of Perham, Minnesota. The name isn’t a gimmick; the brewers really are a bit cross‑eyed, and that cranky attitude fuels every pint. Their lineup spans sensational ales, crisp lagers, and brooding stouts that bite with the kind of historic swagger you’d expect from a Midwest operation that takes its craft seriously (the founders have been grumbling about beer since the 90s). If you’re after something off‑beat, their sours and darks add a dash of surprise without the pretension that plagues many modern taprooms.
The outdoor patio is a breath of fresh pine‑scented air, complete with comfortable seating that makes you linger longer than you intended. Staff are friendly and genuinely attentive—a rare commodity when most places seem to think they’re running a boutique. And, just because they like to keep things interesting, Disgruntled also sells THC products on site, proving they’re willing to explore the fringes while still respecting the art of brewing. In short, you get quality, character, and a dash of rebellion, all served with a grin that says, “We know we’re better than we look.”
Disgruntled Brewing offers a cozy atmosphere, comfortable seating, and an outdoor patio with a unique charm. The brewery features a rounded beer list and friendly staff, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy a pint or two.
