Beer is best when fresh. Because Dangerous Man sells its beer only at the brewery, you know it can't get any fresher. The beer list changes constantly. On every visit a new temptation awaits. The one beer that is almost always available — the rich and velvety Chocolate Milk Stout — also happens to be the brewery's absolute must-try. Although it's usually crowded in the taproom, the two-story ceiling and open floor plan keep the space breathable. The only downside? A long wait is often required before gaining entry into the taproom. 1300 NE 2nd St., Mpls.; 612-236-4087; dangerousmanbrewing.com
