A couple of buddies and I took a road trip to Stillwater to have an AMAZING lunch at Smalley's BBQ and hit a new tap room, Maple Island, which is on the main drag, about 3 blocks from Smalley's. The place is pretty small, but they pack a lot of stainless into what they have. My buddies got a flight of 10 beers and I got a Maple Bock pint. Very full bodied beer and I could taste the wonderful hints of maple in it. Yummy. I tried their blueberry wheat and they have an ice cream beer that tasted like Reese's peanut butter cup beer, but both were solid. They said they put 60 pounds of ice cream and peanut butter in their according to my friend. It was a hot and muggy day, so I would have preferred a little more A/C in the place, but a nice view of the St. Croix River and the beer was a great end to a fun day trip.

This was another great find in the lovely city of Stillwater! We were there during the Stillwater Live Music Days, so we got to listen to some live tunes as we enjoyed a good tasting beer flight on a hot and steamy day! They offer two different flights (one with 5 beers and one with 10 beers). We chose the 5 beer flight and were happy with each of them that was included. Our favorite was the Tight Rope Hefeweisen and the Crunch Berry Cream Ale . . . super good! It's a fun and laid back atmosphere with much of the brewing equipment out and viewable for people to see. Be sure to check it out next time you're in town!

I really enjoyed my time at Maple Island Brewing this past weekend. I will definitely go back next time I am in Stillwater. Unlimited free popcorn, which I'm always a fan of, and the beer prices were extremely reasonable. $5 for a glass and $10 for a flight. My group all got flights and it was fun to try them all and the same time and talk about which ones we liked and why. My personal favorite was the Maple Island Bock. I've never had a beer with a maple syrup flavor, and I really liked it. Nice space, friendly staff and there were a good number of people there which is always a good sign. I'm looking forward to my next Stillwater trip!

I went a week into opening and tried three of the beers. My two friends and I thought they were all were pretty bad. The best part of Maple Island Brewery was the candied popcorn they served for free. This is a great location, and I bet the patio overlooking the river will be great on a nice day. Hopefully their beer will get better as they find their way. This place had me thinking: just because you can open a brewery, doesn't mean you should.

After finishing a wine tasting next door at the winery our group decided it was time for a beer to wash the wine taste out of our mouth. Maple Island Brewery sat right next door so we decided to check it out. I have never heard of this place before and I live in the area. They don't have a 3rd party distributor so you're not likely to see these beers far outside of the tap room. These kind of breweries are my favorite for that fact alone. The tap room was one of the better ones I had ever sat and had a beer. It felt very open, you could see the big brew kettles sitting in the back of the room that was incorporated with the tap room. The other side of the large room was an two large openings onto their deck. The brewery sits right next to the St. Croix river downtown Stillwater so it sits in such a great location. The beer was pretty good too. Definitely some unique flavors, they were really trying to stand out. Julia G. and I split a "Rockstar" flight which is a sample of all nine of their beers along with the seasonal beer to make a flight of 10 beers. We were able to try every single beer that they brew and our ratings were all over the board. Some I would stay away from in the future, where others I wish I could get in my favorite bars. A couple of my favorites were the Maple Island Bock, the Two Headed Goose, and the Crunch Berry Cream Ale. These Brewers are clearly pretty creative. I will for sure come back here next time I find myself exploring downtown Stillwater.

This might be one of my new favorite breweries. After an incredibly disappointing trip to Lift Bridge, my man and I ventured here hoping to enjoy some better brews. The location down by the water is really nice and picturesque, and we had no trouble finding street parking on a Friday afternoon. The space is awesome and they had live music playing, but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation (which is what I hate about most clubs and why I prefer to do my drinking at breweries). They offer a flight of 5 flagship beers or a flight of 9 (flagship + seasonal). I love trying new beers, so we figured we might as well go big or go home. If you're debating whether or not to go all out, their 5 flagship brews were all absolutely amazing, while the seasonals were interesting though not necessarily my favorites. Their Maple Island Bock tastes sweet like maple syrup without being sickening. It was so wonderful I almost bought a growler, but alas my fridge was already so full of beer I barely had room for real food. I also loved their Cranky Cherry since it was nice and tart. My favorite of all the beers we tried however, was the Witner - a hybrid Witbier/Pilsner. I'll be honest, I usually hate those two varieties of beer, but in this case, two wrongs definitely made a right. It was slightly sweet and so so smooth. The service was great, too. Out bartender was really friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely love what he was doing, which is always great to see!

After nice bike ride around Stillwater we entered Maple Island Brewing to try local selection of beer. We have ordered full flight which gave us a chance to taste all 10 beer. If you like lighter beers it might be a spot for you but darker selection is not impressive at all. My friend mentioned that it tasted burned to him or like cherry cough syrup. But everyone has different taste buds so it might be for you. They have nice outdoor patio and big inside space.

I came here on a quiet Wednesday night. The Voice was on the television and only a couple of people coming and going through the taproom. The brew-tender was super friendly and we soon had our flights of the 6 beers on tap. Maple Island Bock, Mosaic Wheat, The Beast IPA, Rocktober Fest, Monkey Business and Cup of Joe Freak Show were on my flight. All of them were average brews with the exception of their flagship the Maple Island Bock. It seemed to be the perfect blend of a bock with maple syrup. Luckily they had just received a shipment of new growlers, so I had one filled with the Maple Island Bock for later enjoyment. The taproom itself was quite spacious and I can see where it would fill up during the busy Stillwater days. I liked the layout and the location. Overall, I'd have to say I'm a fan of Maple Island Brewing. I look forward to seeing their brews develop and mature.

I walked into the bar and from the looks on everyone's faces, I apparently wasn't supposed the be there. I sat down with my book and the bartender comes over with a bewildered look on his face, non-verbally asking me if I walked in the right door. I tell him that I like stouts and porters (common dark beer styles) and I ask for a sample. He seemed surprised by my preferences and hands me two beers to try- One is bubbly and golden, the other is light and sweet. Not what I had asked for or was interested in. I finally found a menu on the wall that mentioned a brown ale, another common style. It was ok. The other bartender, Gwen, swooped in and saved the day, creating a mix draft of the saison and the brown ale on tap. It's ok place to relax for a while, but I didn't stay for a second beer.

It's a brewery with a view. If you're in the Twin Cities escape capital that Stillwater is then swing by on your tour of downtown. Open air garage doors. Nearby pizza delivery ot in house Chicago dogs. And beer. 10 or so to choose from. Always changing. Music on the weekends.
(5)Cameron C.
I had my surprise golden birthday party here. It was an amazing experience. The private room was great, it is a great location, live music, patio over looking the river, hammerschlagen as well. Plus their beer was great across the board. A good variety, from German style brews to pale ales and even a few dark beers. The staff was so nice and courteous, and they have awesome popcorn! Highly recommend!
(5)Mike G.
Wow, for being ins such a great spot how disappointing. The place is filthy. Needs a cleaning. Not sure what is worse the popcorn machine or the table tops. YUCK.

Two stars for the beer...a little more for the size and ambiance! I've tried to find a beer that I really like on many different occasions and always struggle! There are about average in the friendliness department... Could be better in my book... Sample sizes are so small you can't even taste it....my white IPA was served in a smaller tulip glass?? Why?? This has the location going for it ...to bad they do not have good beers go with it!! Seems like they are maybe making small baby steps from when they opened... Not sure if it's the equipment or the Brewer but something needs to change! For people reading this you need to know I pretty much love all beers.....and I've been to most of the breweries open in Minnesota... This seems to be one of the few that just can't get it down?!? If you're in Stillwater and what truly good beer I would go up the road to their competitor....or if you want location and a view of the river come here and enjoy average/poor beer... For that matter I think you could get a better beer at PD Pappys with a little better people watching!! :) Hopefully it improves quickly?!? I won't forget my brothers quote after talking to one of the owners of Summit Brewing on all of the new competition.... His reply was there is a lot of people out there trying and sampling very poor quality beer!!

Great beer! Met the brewmaster and ordered a flight - loved the Freakshow beer! Great atmosphere watching the river on the patio.
(5)June N.
Great place for different and unique beers. Tim knows his beers. We didn't buy a Growler but almost did!! ;-) it's a very friendly place. Seems clean too!
(5)Carl G.
Great live music friendly atmosphere and staff. Location off the river is wonderful. They've got some work to do on their beer. Try... Try again.
(3)Bryan R.
Great brew,.check it out for sure. Like the IPA Traveling Gypsy the best, but tried a flight and all are very good. Even the Ice Cream brew is excellent.
(5)Leah N.
Great atmosphere and addition to downtown Stillwater, but the brew could use some development. Will try again in a few months, hopefully once they are up and running for a little bit the brew will be better.

They have some good beer and not so good beer. Their best beer is rarely available. Their customer service is not great. They never answer their phone and the bartender lady has been pretty rude. I drove almost 30 minutes for a growler of either of my faves and they were out of one and they had their maple on cask. They wouldn't sell me a growler. Of course, if they actually answered their phone, it would have saved me 50 minutes.
(3)John R.
Great location in Stillwater, and the only brewery in downtown. The beer was good, just not unique or what I would consider craft beers, you can get the same flavors at any bar with a decent beer list. This building was most recently a hardware store and has a long history as Maple Island Creamery, its many lives create a unique space. It was redone very well but is cold and lacks any personality. The age of the crowd was shockingly mature, at just shy of 30 we were the youngest in the room. The two staff working, were ok, they didn't really engage in conversation or have much interest in the customers despite it being pretty slow. The beer list doesn't have alcohol percentage which they need to fix. There are 6 beers yet the "flight" is only 5 of them, which was disappointing.

Stopped in a few days ago.... Beautiful place!! Love that they have a back "patio" to take in the river and fall colors! Although I didn't particularly care for the beer.....the people and the taproom may have me stopping in again!! If you're in town, check it out!

Good Beer. Really nice atmosphere. Live music on a Saturday afternoon. That wasn't too loud to hear the people next to you but never felt pretentious. I'm not local to the area and was in town for jerk wings and a different brewery named after a style of bridge. Having said that I wouldn't travel an hour and a half for their beer but I will stop here again to check out rotating taps. We got our first drinks within a minute of walking in and not having to wait for service is important to me. It sounds crazy but the "I scream" ale made with nelson's local ice cream is awesome and would definitely be my new beer of choice for a beer float. Cool spot

Great beers and great addition to Stillwater. Perfect location overlooking the beautiful St. Croix River. Six tasty beers brewed on site with nice tap room. Fill your growlers too. Walk-out through garage doors to open outdoor seating deck; perfect for summer. Very cool place. MIB, I'm glad you're here.
(5)Bub N.
This is a great addition to downtown Stillwater. The beers we had were great, we got couple growlers to take home. The beers were really good, and are better than a lot of other craft beers that I have had. I took home a couple of growlers! The brewery is in a great location, be sure to stop by and check it out. I will recommend to my friends and will be back soon.
(5)Erica N.
Busy, but the staff handled it very well... had a deal and they were very happy to help. I really enjoyed the Beaste IPA and I am not an IPA fan. Has a lot more flavor and aroma than the West Coast style.
