According to some beer reps I've talked to at tastings, Minnesota is the 4th biggest Craft Beer market in the United States. Some local micro-breweries have popped up in the past couple years, with Surly being the best known.

Within the past 3 weeks, Fulton Brewery and Harriet Brewery have both opened tap rooms, where they can sell pints to customers. Both places have done tours and free samplings for some time, so it's nice to see the law finally allowing them to sell pints. Would be nice to see the law let them serve food too. Fulton makes a great IPA called Sweet Child of Vine, and has several other beers in production as well.

Steel Toe might be the best of the local breweries, Size 7 IPA is an amazingly well done beer.

Lift Bridge in Stillwater, Flat Earth in St. Paul, and Lucid Brewery in Minnetonka are also worth checking out.

Thought I would see if there are any other craft beer fans here, and recommendations for local beers to try.

Town Hall Brewery is supposed to be great. Their Masala Mama IPA is ranked one of the best in the world.

My favorite two local craft beers in the Twin Cities are Surly Furious and the Summit EPA.

I want Surly to make that "beer garden" concept (preferably near Target Field) so I can go in there and try any/all their beers whenever I want. They have SO MANY that I've never even heard of and some (like Darkness) that I can never get my hands on!
