Brewery Profile

Pryes Brewing Company

On the Minneapolis side of the Mississippi River, this brewery gives visitors a taproom experience that is tied closely to its setting. The room at 1401 West River Road North is large rather than tucked away, so the first impression is of a brewery built for people staying a while, not just stopping for a quick pour. Its beers have been recognized in regional competitions, but the visit is not framed only around medals or specialist tasting notes. Walk in and the main points are straightforward: draft beer, food from the kitchen, indoor recreation, and access to outdoor seating near the river.

Travelers exploring breweries in this part of Minnesota often look for more than a single flagship style. A useful stop is one that lets a mixed group sample the current lineup, eat on site, and make the brewery part of a broader day in the city. Pryes fits that pattern because the experience is not limited to the bar. Wood-fired pizzas make it practical for lunch or dinner, while the spacious riverside patio gives the visit a seasonal outdoor option when the weather cooperates. The feather bowling lane is also a distinguishing feature. It is a rare amenity in U.S. breweries and gives the taproom a recreational element beyond the usual tables, bar seats, and board games.

For planning purposes, the taproom is open daily starting at 11 AM, and it is the place to confirm the day’s pours and any current service details. Visitors should expect a brewery-focused venue rather than a formal restaurant, though the availability of wood-fired pizza means food is part of the regular visit. The patio is one of the main reasons to choose this stop in pleasant weather, while the large indoor space and feather bowling lane help make it usable when sitting outside is less appealing. Specific beer names, rotating releases, and event schedules can change, so checking directly with the brewery before a timed visit is the safest approach.
