Plan Your Own Twin Cities Brewery Taproom Bike Tour

The Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area is known for two things, cycling and craft beers.   With our bike infrastructure and a boom of new microbreweries, this give cyclists a great opportunity to bike to a multitude of taprooms around the Twin Cities.  So many breweries with taprooms are scattered throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul that you should be able to plan several bike tours without hitting the same ones twice, unless you are compelled to visit your favorites.  Ride with friends, in the era of social media it shouldn't be hard to put together your own group taproom bike tour.  If you prefer that someone else do the navigating, check in with Bike to Beer in Minneapolis for upcoming bike tours of local microbreweries.  To help you better plan your own brewery taproom bike tours, I have created a Twin Cities Taprooms by Bike map.


View Twin Cities Taprooms by Bike in a larger map

Open this map on your smartphone to help you reach your taproom destinations or use it to plan out a ride using your favorite cycling/mapping app or GPS software.  Use the Bicycling map layer available in Google maps to show trails, bike lanes and bicycle friendly roads to plan the most bike-friendly routes from taproom to taproom.  


Taproom hours* vary, so plan out your route in accordance with those that are open on the day of your ride.  Below is a list of the brewery taprooms on this map with hours and website links.

  1. This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I don't know where it is now, but I came across a Star Tribune article a while back that briefly referred to the trail to Carver Park Reserve as a neat little brewery tour and that there were three breweries in the area. Obviously you have Excelsior Brewery; I don't remember the others they were referring to, but I also found Lucid Brewing (6020 Culligan Way, Minnetonka), Flynntown Brewing Company (18042 Valley View Rd, Eden Prairie), Lincoln Brewing Co (3701 Shoreline Dr, Wayzata), and Enki Brewing Company (7929 Victoria Dr, Victoria).

    Thanks again! I am so looking forward to planning a few rides with your map this summer.
