Back Channel Brewing Family-friendly taproom experience on Lake Minnetonka. Channel Your Thirst šŸ» Topping the experience off is the beer. Did we mention the Beer Bowl?
(2047)

Situated on the waters of Lake Minnetonka and only 20 miles west of Downtown Minneapolis, our destination taproom has it all. As you venture out, enjoy a beautiful meandering drive around the lake, a scenic bike ride along the Dakota Bike Trail, or stunning views of the ninth largest lake via boat as all three modes of transportation are welcomed. In the colder months, trade in the boats & bikes for snowmobiles, snowshoes, and fat tires. Upon arrival, choose to sit on their expansive patio or inside their inviting taproom and enjoy a curated music selection that will enhance the vibes. The brewery focuses on Lagers, IPAs, and Imperial Stouts with a special emphasis on seasonal beers, and you're guaranteed to find something you'll love. You can even play a hidden game of trivia, as all of our beers are named after famous Minnesotans, or people with significant ties to our state. In an ode to Minnesota's Nordic heritage, Back Channel celebrates the release of fresh IPA's much like their fellow Vikings...with an ale bowl, also known in the Nordic language as a SKAL. The bowl experience lasts throughout the first week of every IPA release, so there are plenty of bowl opportunities throughout the year. Take a look at their seasonal hours and consider making a visit.

Hawaiki Weekend continues.

October keeps giving us summer weather, so we’re going to keep drinking like it.

Hawaiki is our 4.75% New Zealand Style Pilsner, brewed with Maui Brewing Co and a lineup of New Zealand hops—Motueka // Riwaka // Nectaron.

Hawaiki or one of your other favorite light Back Channel b**rs + Food Truck: La Cochinita + a spot outside = a pretty solid way to spend the last gasp of summer.

Come soak it up.

Is it October or July? We’re not asking questions.

These tropical October days have been giving us some pretty incredible sunsets over the lake.

We’ll take every last one of them before Minnesota remembers what month it is.

Cheers to sunsets, lake life and thanks to our friends in WeLuckyFew for the photos.

October is feeling a little tropical today.

So we’ve got the b**r for it.

Hawaiki // New Zealand Style Pilsner (4.75%)

Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Maui Brewing Co with Pilsner + Vienna malt and Motueka, Riwaka + Nectaron hops.

Grab a Hawaiki, soak up this ridiculous October patio weather and let House of Gloor handle the burgers.

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
