Founding
Dangerous Man Brewing Company was founded by Rob Miller, a longtime homebrewer who had been considering opening a brewery for some time. After changes in Minnesota state law permitted brewery taprooms (and after additional changes in Minneapolis law allowed him to open a brewery across the street from a church) he located his brewery in a turn-of-the-twentieth-century building which was originally a bank.{{cite book | last1=Agnew| first1=Michael| title=A Perfect Pint's Beer Guide to the Heartland| date=2014| publisher=University of Illinois Press| isbn=9780252093586| page=27}} The brewery opened on January 25, 2013.{{cite news|last1=McKenzie |first1=Sarah |title=Dangerous Man Brewing taproom opening Jan. 25 |url=http://www.journalmpls.com/neighborhood-notes/dangerous-man-brewing-taproom-opening-jan-25 |accessdate=2 April 2015 |work=The Journal |date=3 Jan 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906045455/http://www.journalmpls.com/neighborhood-notes/dangerous-man-brewing-taproom-opening-jan-25 |archivedate=6 September 2015 }}
Distribution
Dangerous Man did not distribute their beer until 2023, when they opened a production facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota.{{cite web |last1=Kelly |first1=Brianna |title=Dangerous Man adding production facility to launch off-site distribution |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2022/11/29/dangerous-man-distribution-production-facility.html |website=Biz Journals}}
In April 2015, Dangerous Man previously expanded their operation into an adjacent building to open a dedicated counter for growler and merchandise sales. The expansion was completed in November 2015, doubling the overall footprint of the brewery and triple their brewing capacity.{{cite news | last1=Kennedy| first1=Clare| title=Dangerous Man plans brewery expansion and growler shop| url=http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2015/04/09/dangerous-man-plans-brewery-expansion-growler-shop.html?page=all| accessdate=20 April 2015| work=Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal| date=9 April 2015}}{{cite news|last1=Fagerberg|first1=Jerard|title=Dangerous Man's New Growler Shop Keeps It Fresh And Easy|url=http://www.citypages.com/restaurants/dangerous-mans-new-growler-shop-keeps-it-fresh-and-easy-7818104|work=City Pages|date=10 November 2015}}
