Dangerous Man Brewing Company


Dangerous Man Brewing Company is a microbrewery previously located in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis.
After closing its taproom in 2023, Dangerous Man currently runs a brewing facility in Maple Lake, Minnesota, from which it distributes products to bars and liquor stores.
In March of 2025, Dangerous Man announced they would wind-down operations, distributing their final beer, the Last Call IIPA on March 25.
Five months after their closure, Dangerous Man announced they would be re-opening under new ownership while retaining founder, Rob Miller.

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 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.
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.

Current use of previous space

Vinai, a restaurant by local chef Yia Vang, opened in the former Dangerous Man space in 2024.
