Brewery Profile
Imminent Brewing
For a visitor exploring Northfield’s craft beer options, this taproom offers a straightforward view of a local brewery built around community use as much as beer service. Imminent Brewing opened in Northfield on June 16, 2017, and is operated by owners Derek and Laura Meyers alongside Randy and Tonja Clay. When guests walk in, the setting is meant to function as a shared neighborhood space rather than an adults-only bar. People of all ages are welcome, and friendly dogs are allowed, with the brewery emphasizing mutual respect among guests and staff. Seating is available inside, with outdoor seating also available when weather permits.
Travelers in this part of Minnesota often look for taprooms that connect beer to place: a casual room, direct service from the brewery, and some evidence of regional character in what is poured. Imminent Brewing fits that pattern through its stated use of local ingredients sourced from regional farmers in its beer production. The available information does not identify specific beer names or a fixed style lineup, so visitors should treat the taproom as the place to confirm the day’s pours. That makes the stop best suited to guests who are open to checking what is currently available rather than arriving for a particular listed beer.
A visit is organized on a first-come, first-served basis, and the brewery does not take reservations for seating. Groups should plan accordingly, especially if outdoor seating is preferred, since that option depends on the weather. For beer to take away, the taproom sells 16-ounce cans and 64-ounce glass growlers directly on site. Details such as food availability, event schedules, hours, and current tap selections are not established here, so the practical approach is to confirm those directly with the brewery before making a specific plan.
