How Many Breweries Are There in Minnesota
As of 2024, the Brewers Association reports that Minnesota had 234 breweries. It made Minnesota the state with the 15th most breweries.
We have so many breweries that there are 5.5 breweries per 100,000 21+ people in the state! (That’s based on the numbers from 2024.)
