Lake of the Woods Brewing Company in Warroad, Minnesota, is a textbook case of what happens when a handful of folks (who had worked together for years) decide that the lake view is too pretty to ignore. Their beers wear nautical themes like a badge of honour, and each pour carries the scent of pineâscented water and a dash of good oldâfashioned craftsmanship.
The operation has gone from a modest taproom to an awardâcollecting juggernaut, bagging the Global CRUSHIE Award for the hauntingly good Forgotten Lake and expanding its reach into Ontario, Manitoba and across Minnesota. Signature drinks such as Forgotten Lake and DeepâŻ6 are more than just drinks; theyâre liquid postcards from the northern shoreline, while a rotating roster keeps even the most seasoned drinkers guessing. Onâsite food trucks add the necessary grease to balance the hopâforward sips, and the merch rangeâtâshirts, pint glasses and allâcould make a museum curator weep with envy. The blueberry ale, with its surprisingly nuanced berry profile, proves that âfruitâinfusedâ can be elegant rather than gimmicky. In short, the brewery mixes humor, quality, and a dash of lakeâside swagger into every barrel they turn.
People generally enjoyed Lake of the Woods Brewing Company's atmosphere, rotating beer selection, and high-quality beers, particularly IPAs and specialty brews like Sultana Gold. Food options are available, including snacks, pizza, and food trucks. Service is often praised.
