Year Round




Big Jim

7.2% ABV / 92 IBUs This beer is named after the father or our owner and is a tribute to a style we call Minnesota IPA. Cascade, Mt. Hood, and an enormous amount of Columbus hops late in the brew and the fermenter give this beer the hop punch IPA lovers crave. There is also a significant malt backbone and complexity to this beer to stand up to the hop intensity.

$7.5



LIGHT RAIL PALE ALE

5.5% ABV / 45 IBUs This is a light-bodied, hop-forward pale ale. Copious amounts of Cascade hops late in the brewing process, and another huge dry hop addition in the fermenter will remind craft beer lovers what they love about this style. The intense hop aroma will make you think IPA, but the bitterness is dialed back to showcase the characteristics of this classic hop variety. And at 5.5% ABV, you can enjoy a few of them.

$7



Pravy Pils

5.3% ABV / 24 IBU The crown jewel of our lager program and our year-round “light” beer offering. We set out to brew the most authentic version of this style that we could. Water profile has been corrected to be identical to that is Pilsen, Czech Republic. Pravy is Czech for “true” or “genuine”. This is a true to the original style Pilsner, lagered for 6 weeks. Lagering (storing at cold temperatures for weeks or months) allows impurities like tannins, polyphenols, and proteins to coagulate and fall out of the beer over time. This makes the beer clear and “clean” tasting.

$7



Smokehouse Porter

6.2% ABV / 28 IBUs Heavier on the caramel malt and lighter on the roast malt. 5% of the base malt is smoked in-house for a smoky complexity. This beer will pair well with most of our menu items. And weighing in at 6.2% ABV it can also be your winter warmer.

$7




Seasonals




Anniversary Ale

10.0% ABV / 22 IBUs Somewhere between an Imperial Honey Saison and a Belgian Golden Strong Ale. We have brewed this beer every one of our 13 years to celebrate with our loyal customers.

$7.5



Something Else IPA

7.0% ABV / 81 IBUs This is a simple West Coast IPA. Heavy on the Amarillo backed up with some Mosaic and El Dorado. West Coast IPAs are lighter, less malty, crisp, and dry. Hops are the star of the show. With flavors of orange, citrus, tropical fruit, and a touch of resin. This beer finishes with a firm hop bite. The malt is kept very simple to let the hops shine.

$7.5



Bourbon Barrel Block Heater

11.6% ABV / 62 IBUs Our Award Winning Barleywine, then aged in bourbon barrels.

$9.5



Winter Ale

7.3% ABV / 22 IBUs What we would call an Strong English Brown Ale. Higher than usual abv, low hops and a flowery, earthiness makes this a perfect beer to sip during the cold winter months.

$7.5



Midnight Elf

5.2% ABV / 17 IBUs Andy is our brewer. Any love adding wheat to beers. The is a smooth, dark lager with a subtle sweetness. The addition of wheat give an added spiciness in the background for a more developed flavor profile.

$7.5



Goats say Rahr!

7.0% ABV / 27 IBUs Out collaboration with Rahr Malting Co. in Shakopee, MN. We modified our Gold Medal winning Doppelbock to include a healthy amount of wheat, because Andy always puts wheat into his beers, to create this one-off unique hybrid brew. Only available at their Shakopee private research facility or here at Northbound.

$7.5



Snownami

8.6% ABV / 26 IBUs This is our most popular beer of the year and the first of our many award winning beers, earning a Silver Medal at the World Beer Cup in 2014. This beer is best described as a Double Chocolate Raspberry Stout, using Belgian chocolate, cocoa nibs, and whole raspberries. This beer is a perfect example of no expense spared by using only the best premium ingredients. As you can guess, chocolate and raspberries dominate this beer. A little secret is to let the beer warm up to increase the flavors.

$8

8.5% ABV / 18 IBUs Gold Medal Winner of the 2024 World Beer Cup as well as the Gold Medal Winner of the 2024 Minnesota Brewer's Cup.
