East Grand Forks's craft brewery anchors the local drinking scene with a taproom on the Minnesota side that benefits from the same cross-river draw that has always brought North Dakotans over the bridge. The brewery focuses on approachable lagers and ales suited to the climate — a sturdy Oktoberfest and a crisp pilsner for summer. The taproom is the kind of low-key place where locals watch college hockey and visitors end up staying longer than planned.
