Saint Paul Brewing is a destination brewery located on the historic grounds of the former Hamm’s Brewery on the East Side of Saint Paul. This unique taproom embraces the rugged beauty of its industrial past, featuring a “ruin-chic” aesthetic with a massive, labyrinthine patio built into the old brewery footings. It is widely considered one of the most visually stunning and atmospheric places to enjoy a craft beer in the Midwest.
The brewery is known for its adventurous and high-quality beer lineup, ranging from traditional European styles to modern, fruit-forward infusions. In addition to their stellar brews, Saint Paul Brewing serves up artisanal wood-fired pizzas that have become a major draw for local foodies. The combination of charred, thin-crust pizza and fresh-from-the-tank beer makes for an unbeatable casual dining experience.
Whether you’re exploring the historic architecture or relaxing by a fire pit on the patio, Saint Paul Brewing offers a sense of discovery with every visit. The brewery is dog-friendly and community-oriented, frequently hosting live music and local markets. For a truly unique Twin Cities experience that blends history, art, and great beer, this East Side landmark is a top recommendation.
