Nestled in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis under the historic Broadway Building, you’ll find a gem known as Padraigs Brewing. This local craft brewery brings a unique twist to the city’s vibrant beer scene by infusing the rich traditions of Irish brewing into each pour. With their charming motto, “Craft Brewing with an Irish Lilt,” they promise an array of delightful craft beers which pay homage to Ireland’s brewing heritage dating back over five millennia.
As you step into Padraigs Brewing, the warm ambiance of Minneapolis’s local brew scene surrounds you. The brewery stands within walls steeped in history—a structure that once housed the innovative spirit of the Land O’ Nod Mattress Company. That innovative spirit lives on through Padraigs Brewing as they craft their beer with meticulous attention, offering a warm, authentic taproom experience. Whether you’re searching for the perfect spot to unwind with friends or host a private event, this brewery offers an intimate setting that combines the best of Minneapolis hospitality with the soulful essence of Ireland.
When you’re on the lookout for “craft beer near me” or planning your next evening out in Minneapolis, Padraigs Brewing invites you to explore beyond the beer. They offer a variety of daily events, from hosting regular traditional Irish music jams to weekly trivia and live music every Friday and Saturday. Their events cater to both casual gatherings and private celebrations, ensuring that each visit is more than just a taste journey—it’s a vibrant part of the Northeast Minneapolis’s Arts community life. Step into their world to discover the intersection of history, culture, art and brewing excellence.
The Irish have been brewing red ale for 1200 years, so we felt it appropriate that the FIRST BEER we brewed at Padraigs Brewing should be an authentic Irish red ale.
Going to the Minnesota State Fair? You can find our Red Ale on tap at O`Gara`s as well as in the @mncraftbrewersguild rotating flights.
It`s also available in 100`s of Twin Cities liquor stores, dozens of local bars and of course in the Padraigs taproom.
