minneapolis/St. Paul airport
It took a while, but MSP airport has helped make layovers or delayed flights a little more enjoyable for craft beer lovers. The only brewery with a taproom had been Rock Bottom, which doesn't brew any beer on-site. While their beers are adequate, they aren't what beer lovers are craving. Now there are finally other choices - some really good ones!
Stone Arch
Finally, a good place to drink some of the great Minnesota craft beer before, between or after a flight at the airport! Stone Arch opened in November 2016. There are 25 taps plus a large selection of bottles and cans - all of it brewed in Minnesota 20 of the taps are rotating selections and the other 5 are part of the "Beer Lab" where local Guild brewers can showcase special beer or experimental beer. The Beer Lab will have a representative from 1 of the 5 breweries available 4 hours during the day to interact with and educate interested travelers. Open early and food served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Location: Concourse between Terminals F and G (Next to Delta Sky Club) Terminal 1 Updated: Jan '17 |

Republic MSP Airport
Not long after Stone Arch opened, the owners of Republic MPLS have now opened up a subset of the original Minneapolis location that is one of Draft Magazines top 100 beer bars in America. Well short of the 100 taps found in Minneapolis although there is a nice selection of Minnesota beers flowing from 16 taps and a small bottle collection. Live music from the McNally Smith College of Music during peak travel times which are Thursday and Friday from 3:30 - 7:00 pm and Sundays from 1:30 to 5:00 pm.

Twins Grill
If you are a baseball fan, you will enjoy the new Minnesota Twins-themed restaurant at MSP airport. It is located in the middle of Concourse C, in the location previously inhabited by TGI Fridays. Twins Grill is very similar to the one at the Minnesota Twins ballpark, serving similar type of ballpark food plus more. The bar is in the shape of a baseball diamond and there are 16 taps of beer which includes Minnesota craft beer and generic lagers. Nearly 30 TVs in the bar.
