Beer Galore
Minnesota ranks in the top 15 of states with the most craft breweries per capita and with breweries opening each year in the Twin Cities, there’s always a new place to explore! We’ve gathered some of our favorite breweries in the northwest metro to grab a golden or green beer to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. If you really have your heart set on a beer that's green, we recommend that you call ahead and make sure they haven't run out of the green stuff. Also, we always recommend having a designated driver or call for a ride share when exploring our fine establishments.
M.C.'s Tap House
You're sure to find a delicious beer at M.C.'s Tap House in Brooklyn Park and great food too! All of the ingredients come from local farms within 300 miles of the restaurant. The restaurant offers a varied and delicious menu with appetizers, salads, sandwiches, street tacos, burgers, flatbreads, entrees, and an awesome selection of taps. Lots of TV's are inside so you can catch all the sports action. There's also a party room you can book for your group. M.C.'s is part of the locally owned and operated Muddy Cow group.
