We are brewing true small batch craft beer. Our brew system is 3 barrels in size, which is small in comparison to other craft breweries. By keeping the system small it allows our brewer to hand craft each brew to create truly unique batches of beer. We offer a rotating selection of beer on tap in our taproom. This means we are brewing something different each week so each visit you can try fresh new beers. Found a beer you loved but we tapped out? Not to worry, let us know you love it and we will brew it again. When we find a brew everyone loves, we will try to keep it on tap. Cheers!
Honey Blonde Ale
This Belgian Blonde Ale is the perfect beer for those who are just outside the cities. It has a light, easy drinking body that does not skimp on flavor thanks to the hint of honey sourced from our Grandparents farm in North Dakota. Even though this is considered one of our lighter brews, it does not skimp on alcohol!
Cream Ale
An ale that drinks like a lager but does not lack any flavor. Usually our cream ale is accompanied by fruit, but the cattle have come home to roost! A healthy portion of milk lactose gives this beer a full body and a slightly sweet finish.
Hefeweizen
The lightest beer we produce with a delicious traditional German bier flavor! The owners last name being Hauf seemed to be a perfect pairing for this Hefeweizen.
Our beer for every Minnesotan. Whether you’re battling hurricane force winds on the boat, trying to zipper merge on your bike or driving on an icy road we have all had to white knuckle it. Afterwards, grab an ice cold White Knuckle Lager, you earned it Minnesota.
This traditional German wheat beer is an ale that drinks like a lager. Easy drinking with a low ABV.
Breaking the rules of brewing is our light bodied Belgian Tripel the comes equipped with a high ABV due to the use of candi sugar when producing the beer.
Czech Style Pilsner (Discontinued)
A lighter yet flavorful take on an American Pilsner, the bohemian style sports extra hops for flavoring. Lagered for over a month to enhance flavor and clarity.
Cucumber Potato Ale
Over 50% of the mash is potatoes making it a very crisp beer. Fresh cucumber is added prior to kegging for a forward cucumber potato. A very unique beer great for a hot day!
American Pilsner
Beer honey? You Betcha’! This red ale provides a perfect balance between hops and its toasted malt undertones. A great beer for those looking for something with more flavor and roundness without getting too wild too fast dontcha know.
Marzen
Oktoberfest lager brewed in traditional Marzen fashion with a hint of malt sweetness. Rated in the top ten fest bier’s in 2016! (Source: Growler Magazine) Anoka’s celebrations (being the Halloween Capitol of the World) begin just as Oktoberfest is coming to an end. Easy drinking and the perfect beer to celebrate fall in Anoka!
Extra Special Bitter
Despite the name, this beer is not actually that bitter. But it is extra special. This traditional English bitter features extra crystal (caramel) malts to balance the hop bitterness. Hops only slightly supersede the malt sweetness making this an easy drink beer with a lot of flavor from both hops and malt!
California Common
Before modern refrigeration brewing lagers was not all that easy. But the San Francisco Lager yeast seemed to ferment well at higher temperatures. Folks also thought they saw steam rising up from the fermenting vessels at night, but that is neither here nor there. We just call it a hybrid between a lager and an ale with toasty caramel notes. Tastes like a lager, full like an ale!
Like a Pale Ale to and IPA, our India Brown Ale is the companion of a Black IPA. Rich malty character carefully over-hopped to craft a unique style not often found on tap elsewhere. Dark and roasty, yet a little hoppy.
Altbier
German style Pale Ale leaning on the maltier side of its American cousin.
Brown Ale
A rich, yet easy drinking brown ale with a medium to strong biscuit flavor.
(Discontinued)
Our Scottish Ale provided the building block for our Wee-Heavy Scottish Ale and is essentially a lighter version of the aforementioned Wee-Heavy bridging the gap between lighter more traditional Scottish ales and their heavier cousin. Malt forward, little to no hop presence. Slightly boozy.
Scottish Ale
You will find our take on a traditional Scottish Ale a wee bit heavy. Very malt forward with little to no hop presence and slightly boozy. Hints of biscuit and a slightly sweet finish. One of our most requested beers!
Brewed with grain from a single malting facility in Germany. This German Rye Beer drinks very easy with a creamy mouth feel. Notes of bread, banana, and spice. 60% of the malt bill is Rye.
Fishing inspired, you will enjoy this smooth malty pale ale that ends with a bite that hops RYEght in the boat!

American Pale Ale
Single-hopped American Pale Ale drinks light and crisp. The rules for this particular beer are simple. Only one variety of hop used in each batch. No modifying the hop schedule. No modifying the malt bill. This allows the person enjoying the beer to see how each variety of hop changes the beers flavor, bitterness, and aroma.
Past Hop Varieties:
Azzaca
Cascade
Centennial
Chinook
Citra
Columbus
Galaxy
Lemon Drop
Mosaic
Nelson
Northern Brewer
Nugget
Simcoe
When life gives you lemons (or a brewery), make a Citra Session IPA! We took everything that is great about a traditional IPA and made it into a Nice, easy drinking, year round beer. Single hopped with Citra hops for bittering, flavor, and aroma.
West Coast IPA
Our owner and head brewer traveled the US prior to opening 10K Brewing and discovered how an IPA is brewed differently in every corner of the country. The style works beautifully for the northern suburbs because it focuses on hop flavor and aroma rather than aggressive bitterness. A simple malt profile allows that late hop additions to deliver a flavorful aromatic experience. Heavy dry hopping gives this beer a heavy floral/citrus aroma.
New England IPA
This style of IPA focuses heavily on hop flavor and aroma, not so much bitterness. What you will find is a slightly bitter start like a traditional IPA. But instead of lingering, it paves the way for delicious fruit and citrus flavors. The name comes from heavy use of both Citra and Mosaic hops. This beer is triple dry-hopped with a low flocculation yeast making it a hazy IPA.
Imperial India Pale Ale
Lasting bitterness over 100 IBUs complimented by a crisp malty finish. Tastes slightly boozy with a Nice citrus aroma.
Imperial West Coast IPA that packs a piney bitter punch with sticky fruit flavor and aroma!
Using the the same malt recipe as our Sticky Timber, this double dry-hopped IPA was brewed and dry-hopped with 15 unique hop varieties giving it a wave of fruit, citrus, floral and spicy character to a hazy pour!
Red IPA
This all Galaxy hopped Red IPA will set your taste buds to stun! Australian Galaxy is a great all around hop for bittering flavor and aroma. Nice consistent bitterness that does not linger, taste caramel finish.
India Pale Ale (Discontinued)
One of the original 4 beers we offered in the Taproom and the first beer our head brewer ever home brewed. Designed to be consistently hoppy but not overpowering. A great introduction to India Pale Ale’s for those who have a hard time adjusting to aggressively hopped beers. Smooth, crisp, and slightly sweet.
Vanilla Milk Stout
A local favorite that rises up from the rest. Milk lactose gives this beer a light silky body, vanilla gives it flavor and aroma, and it has a slight roasted finish.
Vanilla Milk Stout w/ Coffee
We teamed up with locally owned Dunn Brothers Coffee of Anoka to offer our Milk Stout infused with Cold Press coffee with by keg or mixed at the tap. Owner and head roast master Anthony created as special blend featuring Guatemala and Rwanda beans that is specifically paired to the roasted malt we use when brewing Loonar Uprising.
Baltic Porter
Our most requested beer making a casual appearance every couple months much like a moose crossing your path in the Northwoods. We use an unusually large amount of cacao to compliment the roasted chocolate malt used to brew this beer. The nuts? We used to brew this beer with hazelnuts but this brew is so delicious on its own we dropped them. So if you want nuts, check out out PB Moose Nuts. Or just talk to one of our bartenders. They are nuts too.
Q. Who named this beer? A. The owners mom.
Peanut Butter Porter
We left out the chocolate and used a hefty amount of real peanut butter to give this beer a Nice aroma and flavor. The first batch of this turned out boozy, which apparently people love. Who knew?
Smoked Baltic Porter
The smoked cousin of Chocolate Moose Nuts. Using a fair portion of real smoked peat malt for a smoky flavor and aroma. Roasted malts give this beer a deep and hearty flavor.
Black Ale
This dark, malty companion to a pale ale features nice dose of maple for flavor and aroma. Slightly roasty.
Imperial Stout
Wendigo is the legendary mysterious hunter of Minnesota’s north woods. Chances are you will never see a Wendigo. Because if you see one, you are already gone. Grab this legendary stout as soon as its on tap. Its brewed a such a high gravity it only yields half a batch. Heavy, roasted, with forward alcohol notes.
We were open over 2 years before we crafted a normal every day Stout. But don’t call us basic this is our first beer that we crafted to remove gluten and have the lab results to prove it. Enjoy this dark roasty beer and warm up!

Apple Ale
Being a brewery we cannot make fermented cider by law. However our Apple Ale has a deliciously sweet taste that is so good, you wont be able to believe its not hard cider! Made with real apples for strong aroma and flavor. Minimal tartness, sweet, with a dry finish.
Apricot Cream Ale
An ale that drinks like a shandy! We added over 80lbs of Paul’s Big Ole Apricots to this beer for a strong but not overpowering apricot flavor. Medium tartness that does not linger. Perfect for summer… or in Minnesota, to remind you of summer!
Blueberry Cream Ale
Babe may have never be describe as “light” but our Blueberry Cream ale is light and mighty refreshing. Beautiful purple/blue color yet just a hint of blueberry flavor to compliment this flavorful cream ale.
Raspberry Cream Ale
Strong but not overpowering raspberry flavor. Medium sweetness that does not linger. Unlike you. You will probably linger around after falling in love with this beer.
Cranberry Cream Ale
The holidays would be not if it wasn’t for turkey, ham, stuffing and oh yes, cranberries. As much as you love adding just a side of cranberries to your plate, we added just enough cranberries to this beer to add slightly sweet and slightly tart flavor to an already awesome cream ale!
Most beers allow hops or malt to take center stage. Our true Belgian Saison lets yeast take center stage! Brewed with Belgian malts and a Belgian strain of yeast to give a slight funk to the beer without being sour. Dry finish.
At 8.3% Our first french Saison is a bit dangerous. Dangerously different. Dangerously good. Dangerously Saison. Dry, highly carbonated, funky esters.
Sour Scottish Ale
A Scottish Ale gone bad. But instead of giving up we tried an experiment. Two barrels with two different brewing bacteria with hopes to sour the beer as not to recognize the off flavor.
