List of breweries in Minnesota

{{Short description|none}}

{{Use mdy dates|date=February 2025}}

Breweries in Minnesota produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally, regionally, and nationally in the United States. Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and microbreweries to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries.

In 2014, Minnesota's 109 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 667 people directly, and more than 24,000 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing.{{Cite web|url=http://mnbwa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/BSA-State-Output-Sheet.pdf|title=Economic impact of the beer industry: 2014 data Minnesota|date=2014|website=mnbwa.com|access-date=January 10, 2018}} As of 2020, the number of craft breweries had grown to 217, and the craft brewing overall economic impact of $2.2 billion ranked 12th among U.S. states.{{Cite news|url=https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics-and-data/state-craft-beer-stats/?state=MN|title=Minnesota's Craft Beer Sales & Production Statistics, 2020|work=Brewers Association|access-date=2022-03-23|language=en-US}}

Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Minnesota's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Minnesota's breweries and related industries was more than $480 million. Consumer purchases of Minnesota's brewery products generated more than $177 million extra in tax revenue. In 2020, Minnesota ranked 13th among U.S. states in the number of craft breweries per capita, with 5.2 breweries per 100,000 adults.{{cite web|url=https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics-and-data/state-craft-beer-stats/?state=MN|title=Minnesota's Craft Beer Sales & Production Statistics, 2020|publisher=Brewers Association|access-date=2022-03-22|language=en-US}}

Breweries

{{Dynamic list}}

To be included in this list, a brewery must be located in the U.S. state of Minnesota; it may produce their own beer, produce contract beers, or both. Breweries which are known to produce contract beer are noted, but this specification does not exclude non-contract brewing, nor does a lack of this specification exclude contract brewing.
