Great Waters Brewing Company, St Paul

The Twin Cities has seen a number of microbreweries spring up in recent years, but this one is in the renovated 1914 Hamm Building, the original office building for the Hamm's Brewing Company of years past. It is the perfect spot for an informal business lunch or casual dinner. While sipping English ale try a plate of spicy chicken wings or ale-steamed mussels. The grilled flank steak, succulent breast of chicken with mushroom cream sauce or rainbow trout stuffed with crab and scallops beg for the colder, carbonated American-style ales. If you have a difficult time deciding which brew to order, ask for the sampler tray.
