Excellent Beer, always unique and fun beers to try as well as some classics. The place is cozy and a fun environment to spend time at. Patio is great and lots of fun games for entertainment. The staff is absolutely amazing. They are always extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their delicious brews on tap. Can’t recommend this brewery enough!! It’s a staple for my family.
Great brewery with a very cozy atmosphere. This is a place I could see spending lots of time at if I lived nearby. Nice game selection. Kid & dog friendly. Good assortment of activities and food trucks on the schedule. Highly recommend.
This is one of the best breweries in Minnesota hands down! Staff and owner are amazing, beer is always solid, and the atmosphere is great. Nine Mile also supports a lot of great local causes to give back to the community. Love this place!
2 drinks per person!? No idea who makes these rules up, so unnecessary. Don’t make me work for the beers.
Also don’t get me wrong, beers are good, so is the space but pours for porters and stouts have to get better, the stouts are runny. Sorry I sound like a Karen but you’re a brewery I expect more, sorry.
Anyways, it’s a great spot in the neighborhood. They let dogs and kids in, cute. Go! enjoy!

Great Atmosphere, Fun Staff, Exciting Social events and cool Lego Sets!
Always have an array of 4-legged guests that are super cute and nice! And the seasonal brews they make are always great, a nice quality of variety to please any pallet!
Came in about 1:00 & it was quiet but by 1:30 it was picking up. Food truck available from 2-5.
Had a good mix on tap. We tried a 5oz sour for $4; a 12 oz farmhouse ale for $8; and a 12 oz dark chocolate milk stout for $7.
All were good.
They expect to open a patio seating as the weather warms.
Dog & kid friendly.
Bathrooms are clean & have a basket of necessary feminine items, which is a wonderful touch!

Nine Mile Brewing is the “new kid on the block”. As the first craft brewery in Bloomington after the City changed their rules.
My buddy and I were out for some good beer, and to see this new craft brewery. We were meeting friends for a business meeting. Location is “ok”, but it took us awhile to actually FIND the place – Google got us close, but there is not good signage on where the place actually is located, and where to park. It’s located in a 1-story office building area of Bloomington. They all look the same here. Tougher for us to find in the gathering darkness.
The brewery is LARGE, and open in terms of floorplan. It was difficult for us to have a good meeting because of the loud and boisterous crowd. It was crowded, which I love to see! There are lots of sofa spaces, an indoor fireplace (not running), high-top tables, lower large tables, and of course ample bar space. We didn’t see food being served here. There were dogs present, but not that many.
Beer offerings were straight-forward, nothing “out of the box”. But we have come to expect this kind of line of tap beers for relatively newer breweries. There’s a cream ale, a couple of NE IPA’s, a standard ale, one sour, and a line of hard seltzers. I tried the “Current Obsession” NE IPA, which was decent and straight forward, and their “Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Milk Stout” that – despite the name – didn’t impress me. I couldn’t taste much of any in the name. Oh well! There were 8 beer lines open on the night we were there.
Someone here loves Star Wars stuff, as there’s lots of that around the room. Also a large wooden canoe, and ample lighting.
This brewery will evolve into a solid offering, I feel. It’s new, and it was crowded when I was there. They need better signage outside, I feel. There is a private room for rental.
Edit: Came to Nine Mile a second time – it was MOBBED with people, still great beer offerings, and when it is full of people, it is LOUD in there! I had a pizza from the food truck that was parked in the rear of the brewery – delicious! So fun time. But did I say IT WAS LOUD IN THERE? Wow. My ears were ringing at the end of the night (we closed her down!).
Stephanie was amazing with planning the event space. Great communication and everything ran smoothly with her thorough emails. Everything was ready for us and it was the least stressful part of the event that we had. I’m so impressed with her and this brewery. We also had our own bartender and she was amazing. Overall, amazing location and staff. I am so glad I chose them for my party!
