Dangerous Man Brewing Company is a microbrewery previously located in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis. [1] [2]

Contents

After closing its taproom, Dangerous Man currently runs a brewing facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota, from which it distributes products to bars and liquor stores. [3]

Founding

Dangerous Man Brewing Company was founded by Rob Miller, a longtime homebrewer who had been considering opening a brewery for some time. After changes in Minnesota state law permitted brewery taprooms (and after additional changes in Minneapolis law allowed him to open a brewery across the street from a church) he located his brewery in a turn-of-the-twentieth-century building which was originally a bank. [4] The brewery opened on January 25, 2013. [5]

Distribution

Dangerous Man did not distribute their beer until 2023, when they opened a production facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota. [6] Vinai, a restaurant by local chef Yia Vang, is expected to move into the previous Dangerous Man space in 2024. [7]

In April 2015, Dangerous Man previously expanded their operation into an adjacent building to open a dedicated counter for growler and merchandise sales. The expansion was completed in November 2015, doubling the overall footprint of the brewery and triple their brewing capacity. [8] [9]
