Minnesota's Breweries

The date given is the last known year of operation of a particular brewery. A brewery that shut down due to Prohibition will have a "P" in place of the date. (Minnesota as a state ratified Prohibition January 16, 1919, but many counties went dry prior to that date.)

An asterisk (*) indicates that the brewery is still in operation.

Note: The Register was compiled for the whole U.S.-- not just Minnesota. If you are interested in the history of your area, the complete citation appears at the list of references.
