Indeed Brewing Company

Rude service, beer subpar. Tried to call three times, no one ever answered. Phone system routed me in endless loops, terrible setup.

I really want to give this place 3.5 stars, but i don’t think that’s a thing. I’ve been to many of the breweries around town, but I’m still not 100% sold on Indeed.
The atmosphere/​décor is nice, but always so incredibly crowded. The first couple times i was less than impressed by the friendliness of the staff, but on a couple more visits they redeemed themselves.
Their regular beers aren’t really to my taste. Some of their seasonal beers have been good, but are limited in production, so it doesn’t really keep me coming back. Parking can also be a nightmare, especially in the more busy summer months. I’m sure I’ll be back eventually, but it’s not high on my list for repeat visits.

After moving back from SF, I was excited for all of the new breweries that had opened during my time away. Indeed is certainly one of my favorites. Good vibe and generally cool aesthetic of the taproom.
All of the staples are super solid, my favorite being the let it ride. Midnight rider at a close second. I did really love the LSD when it was around, and look forward to it being back again. However, I haven’t been a huge fan of the other seasonals, so just a star off for that.

Beautiful space here though I strongly believe due to popularity and my own personal account of being one of MANY turned away. Later tap room hours would be appreciated.

My first experience with Indeed was Shenanigans Summer Ale. I really enjoyed it, and because I had no prior knowledge of Indeed brews, that was a serious plus.
Fast forward… Double Day Tripper. I don’t know if there’s a nicer way to say that this is one of the worst beers I’ve ever tried. Even my friend Mikey ‚(who’ll drink anything), didn’t care for it. He actually likened it to burnt birch beer. You take the good, you take the bad…

Great beers and awesome taproom! Probably the best atmosphere for a brewery on my visit to the twin cities. Plenty of space and outdoor area with a food truck. Favorite brews were the Let It Roll, Double Day Tripper and the Wooded Soul #3. This is one brewery I would visit again when I am back in town.

Indeed is one of my favorite breweries in NE Minneapolis. Their patio is fantastic when the weather is nice, and I love their infused beers. Their main tap room can get a little crowded, but they recently opened up a second tap room that helps even things out. But you can’t take a beer from one to the other, so choose your tap room wisely.

Such an awesome place and such a cool relaxed feel. The staff is so friendly and we only wished we lived closer so we could come more often!

Very cool brewery — the building and space is very nice — big tables, nice outdoor area — sure it’s somewhat hipster, but nothing wrong with that. I tried one of their special flights, it had some of their beers infused with some interesting flavors — I can’t remember what it was anymore, but I liked the twist on what they regularly sell in the stores or offer in the brew haus.
They also had a food truck outside serving food which is great for those looking for a light bite (or heavy bite) while having a drink. Cute place and worth the stop for those of you who enjoy beer.

I’m not a huge beer person to tell you the truth. But there is something about the brews at Indeed that make you want to give them a try. And you should because they’ll surprise you. They’re easy to drink with good flavor and just want you want on a summer day. I particularly enjoy the fusions that I’ve had however Shenanigans is my go to.
The few times I’ve been in town with my boyfriend we’ve always hit up this tap room. The staff has always been polite, with good suggestions and I haven’t ever had to wait too long to get a drink. The first time we came here with some friends we were held up at the door due to capacity but not for long and the person at the door was pleasant.
The place is a good size, not overly large and has a full size shuffle board (I LOVE shuffle board!!!). Usually some people are playing but if you’re around long enough and are quick to get up, you too can play! There are plenty of tables and chairs, plus the outside patio to enjoy. However on busy nights I can see how this might not be enough. As always with breweries, there seems to be a food truck present daily which is great if you get the munchies.

Their patio is fantastic! We went for a lazy Sunday afternoon for some beer, a growler, and the food truck. I love shenanigans, but otherwise we weren’t super big fans of their beer unless it’s the seasonal/​special ones on tap somewhere. We were in for an awesome surprise because the taproom beers were fantastic. They fill all clean growlers which is a bonus. I tried the mojito shenanigans and a lemongrass infused shenanigans, both were delicious. I want to go back for more of the mojito. I don’t remember what beers the guys tried, but they loved them. Two were sours, part of a series I think. A la plancha was serving food, and was as always yummy. Everyone working there was insanely nice and answered all our questions. We enjoyed our beer and food for two hours before deciding to head home. But we’ve already made plans to go back in a few weeks.

Last night was our first time trying out Indeed Brewing. I love all the craft breweries, distilleries and tap rooms in the NE neighborhoods since they are so close to me. This one is located in my old stomping grounds, representing Quincy Street NE all the way!
I tried the Lavender and Lemon Peel Shenanigans summer ale and I liked it. I’m not actually a beer drinker at all, but I am one for trying out unique infusions and and I can appreciate the creative craft that is brewing, bottling, distilling and selling one’s own beer /​cider /​spirits. Husband likes the Mojito infusion, and we ended up buying a small growler of it to take home. It’s delicious! I also tried the Midnight Ryder American black ale. I was thinking it would be like Guinness, but it was stronger with unique undertones and a bold finish. I probably grew a few hairs on my chest after finishing off the pint.
The interior is lovely. Dark and cozy but with large spacious tables. The outdoor patio is very welcoming and pretty. Restrooms are located all the way in the back but once you get there, they are very large and have actual towels to dry your hands, no paper.
My favorite food truck was there last night — Anchor Fish and Chips. So that is always a treat, no matter where they are it’s always delicious! Good times at Indeed. Will return to try more infusions!

Is this one of my favorite breweries in the Twin Cities? Why yes, INDEED it is! {And considering the growing number of breweries popping up around town, that’s saying a lot!} Here’s a brief rundown of how they got it goin’ on:
1. Food Truck Pairings — In the summer (perhaps year-​round), they have a food truck parked in their lot every day they’re open… that’s right people, EVERY DAY (not just weekends like most).
2. Happy Hour — Not that they have to discount their beer, but Indeed is one of the few TC breweries with a happy hour, which is currently 3pm-​6pm Wed-​Fri when all beers are $ 2 off!
3. Dog-​Friendly Patio — This is one of our beagle’s favorite breweries because the patio is often filled with dog lovers who provide her with copious amounts of attention, and the staff always make sure she’s got a fresh bowl of water.
4. Selection + Taproom Exclusive Infusions — Indeed always has their flagship beers (Day Tripper APA, Midnight Ryder Blk IPA + Dandy Lager), but they have quite the list of specialty infusions + seasonal offerings. If you’ve only had Indeed beer from a liquor store, at a beer festival or at your local watering hole, you may be missing out on some of their best brews. They have different styles depending on the season, but my current favorite is a Mojito Shenanigans (summer ale)…I could drink that All. Summer. Long! Other stand outs include LSD (honey ale), Let it Ride (spring IPA), Sweet Yamma Jamma (fall sweet potato ale), Rum King (rum barrel-​aged stout), Hot Box (smoked pepper porter) and the Rye IPA. If you prefer your beer at room temperature, you’ll be happy to know they’re almost always pouring one or two cask ales as well.
5. Free Brewery Tours — Every Saturday at 11:30am offers a behind-​the-​scenes look at the Indeed operation and plenty of beer samples. You can find the events on Eventbrite or the Indeed website. They can fill up, so be sure to reserve your spot.
6. For those who like to take their beer home (but don’t want to amass a giant collection of growlers), they will fill ANY {clean} 64 oz. or 750ml growler, regardless of what logo is on it… and now even on Sundays! Thanks you MN :)
7. Occasional Outdoor Summer Festivals — they always have great beer and tasty food trucks, plus booty-shakin…er foot-​tapping live music so you can get your groove on!
8. Expansion — There are apparently so many craft beer drinkers in Minneapolis that the Indeed taproom is busting at the seams, so they’re working on a 2^nd taproom down the hall and a gift shop – estimated July 2015 opening.
Wow, all this beer writing is making me thirsty. Salud!

5 Stars for a GREAT tour. The tour also includes 4 tokens to get 4 — 4oz samples of whatever they have on tap. The tour was given by the actual owner, which is pretty cool and they take you through their whole operation. Just remember to register beforehand.
The Tap Room is big… and there’s even an outdoor patio. There’s also a food truck in case you get hungry. They’re working on building a second bar/​tap room. They’re willing to answer any questions you have.
It’s great… definitely check it out.

Indeed Brewing Company is one of my favorite breweries in the Twin Cities, which is saying lot since there are so many good choices! The Indeed Tap Room is perfect for the summer months with their patio space. It gets a little crowded in the winter time; the wait time can be over an hour on the weekends. It’s worth it for the brews.
My favorite brew is the Mexican Honey Lager. It’s not overly sweet with full flavor. It’s completely drinkable over an hour or two. Indeed is always coming with new ideas and you can get them at the brewery or take them home in a growler. Yes please!

I had a few Indeed beers before I ever set foot in the brewery. It is ultimately one of my favorite breweries and selection of regular beers. My very favorite, is the Midnight Ryder dark. I just love how the taps come right out of the wall behind the bar. I love the atmosphere and art décor. Last time I was there, I believe they had 5 beers on tap. Unknowingly, we just made it for happy hour. I cannot think of another brewery in town the does discounted beers on happy hour. Exciting news for us!
If you can sit on the patio in the summer or fall, the view of the parking lot sucks, but enjoy the weather! This places tends to fill up on the weekends with a very mixed crowd of hipster, bachelorette party, regulars and older crowd. Something about this place is appealing to all types of peeps.

My friends and I have been meeting fairly regularly at Indeed for almost 6 months. We always have a good time. The atmosphere is the best of any of the taprooms in Minneapolis. Its got a cool old bar fee, a great patio and it is train track adjacent. Indeed currently has 2 year round offerings: Day Tripper and Midnight Ryder. Both good beers but not enough to get me there all the time. There was a stretch last spring when those were the only two beers on tap, we almost gave up. but Indeed really brings it on their seasonal and special offfering beers. Anytime they have a cask with more hops added to the Day Tripper, go for it. It really takes it to the next level. Rum King is on tap right now and is really great barrel aged stout. We love Indeed, if you are there on a Thursday night there is about a 50% chance you will see me and I would gladly let you buy me a beer.

Indeed, indeed! I do love me some Indeed. One of the few NE breweries that actually has a happy hour! Yes I will take that 20oz pint of beer for $ 3.00 (or something close to that).
Indeed has been great every time I’ve stopped in since we first discovered it last winter. Sweet Yamma Jamma is one of my favorites here, along with Shennanigans and their winter seasonal, Stir Crazy. As I’m not a hop fan, their usual taps of Day Tripper and Midnight Ryder do not appeal to me, but they pretty much always have something for my flavor profile on tap along with those, including some tap room or bottle only specials.
As with all NE breweries it can get crowded. They used to have booth style seating along the back wall, but since my last visit last week it looks like they got rid of those for one long bench with round tables and chairs spaced down the bench. If you go in on a Saturday evening during the non-​patio weather, expect to have to wait to get *in* to the brewery.
They are part of the food truck rotation — I enjoyed a veggie pastie from Anchor with my Yamma Jamma on our last visit.
This last May my husband and about a half a dozen of his buddies brought in their laptops and had a little mini-​lan party. I brought in one of my beardies with and she enjoyed the attention she got from the bartenders. All in all a great place! I will continue to be back for cheap pints and growler fills :)

Decent beer and some unique flavor profiles going on with the watermelon and yam beer on tap. I only sampled them as I wanted the American pale ale which was 1.75 for 10 ounces which is a great price. So as far as prices go at all the brewery’s this one was the best overall. Really nice setup and cool merchandise, I just didn’t think that the beers I had were spectacular that’s not to say I wouldn’t ever come back because i had a great time here.

Hello Sweet Yamma Jamma!
It is finally that time of year where root vegetables are highlighted in ALL the things. At Indeed Brewing Company, they do not shy away from this challenge and have created a fall Ale that surpasses any creation that Starbucks can think of. The Sweet Yamma Jamma is a sweet potato ale that will have you planning a trip to the Northshore for some changing foliage, creating the perfect homemade pizza to complement it, and even make you contemplate whether or not you could drink it for all of your vegetable servings in a day.
The taproom was low-​key and casual. Dark woods, comfy chairs, and a collection of hipsters create a fun atmosphere for chatting about the latest TED talk or your more recent find at Eggplant Urban Farm Store. When we were there, Lulu’s Street Food Truck was outside providing some grub. We, however, decided to venture the .4 miles to The Mill for dinner and another Sweet Yamma Jamma.
