Dangerous Man Brewing Company is a microbrewery previously located in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis.[1][2]
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.[3]
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.[4] The brewery opened on January 25, 2013.[5]
Distribution
Dangerous Man did not distribute their beer until 2023, when they opened a production facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota.[6]
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.[7][8]
Current use of previous space
Vinai, a restaurant by local chef Yia Vang, opened in the former Dangerous Man space in 2024.[9]
