Breweries near Plymouth MN
There are not a lot of breweries within the Plymouth city limits, however there are a ton of breweries near Plymouth, MN. The list below covers all the great breweries and brew pubs within a reasonable drive.
1. Luce Line Brewing Company
Luce Line Brewing Co is a brewery by the people for the people. It all started from a desire in the area to have a community space to hang out and enjoy great beers. The community stepped up and supported them through COVID and the rest is history.
Luce Line Brewing Company is located right off of the Luce Line Trail in Plymouth, MN. If it is your first visit, try one of their flagship brews, like Foggy Bottom Hazy IPA or Electric Owl sour with guava, blackberry and vanilla. Kids and dogs are welcome, and they have a great patio and arcade games like Pinball.

2. Birch’s On the Lake Brewery and Restaurant
We’re a little biased. Birch’s on the Lake is by far our favorite brewery. It’s a mix of the beer, which is technically Gluten Free (just ask the server), the amazing food, and the stunning view of Long Lake, both in the summer and winter.
Their Hazy IPA and Birch’s Blonde Ale, made with Norwegian Kveik yeast, are crowd favorites. They also have an amazing crafted cocktail list.
