Dangerous Man Brewing Company

Dangerous Man Brewing Company is a microbrewery previously located in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis.

After closing its taproom, Dangerous Man currently runs a brewing facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota, from which it distributes products to bars and liquor stores.

Founding
Dangerous Man Brewing Company was founded by Rob Miller, a longtime homebrewer who had been considering opening a brewery for some time. After changes in Minnesota state law permitted brewery taprooms (and after additional changes in Minneapolis law allowed him to open a brewery across the street from a church) he located his brewery in a turn-of-the-twentieth-century building which was originally a bank. The brewery opened on January 25, 2013.

Distribution
Dangerous Man did not distribute their beer until 2023, when they opened a production facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota. Vinai, a restaurant by local chef Yia Vang, is expected to move into the previous Dangerous Man space in 2024.

In April 2015, Dangerous Man previously expanded their operation into an adjacent building to open a dedicated counter for growler and merchandise sales. The expansion was completed in November 2015, doubling the overall footprint of the brewery and triple their brewing capacity.
