USA, MN: Back Channel Brewing eyeing summer opening on Lake Minnetonka

When the weather is nice in Minnesota, there’s almost nothing better than drinking a fresh beer on a lake.

Starting this summer, Twin Citians will be able to get that beer straight from the source at Back Channel Brewing, which will open in Spring Park on Lake Minnetonka, TwinCities.com reported on April 28.

The brewery, the first on the upper lake, will focus on producing beer using local malts from sustainable farms. The taproom will include an outdoor patio space overlooking the lake, and the space even has the future possibility of transient boat slips, so boaters can park and stop in.

The brewery is owned by local friends and business owners Josh Leddy, Melissa Langseth, Matt Olson and Joe Meehan.

The brewery will be at 4787 Shoreline Drive, Spring Park.
