Vikings Headquarters

Bald Man Brewing Eagan’s first brewery and taproom, Bald Man Brewing, has a mission, “Bringing together our passions for fresh artisan beer, family & friends and great rock music to build a new brewery like no other. With style.” Bald Man opened its doors in August and has been rockin’ and rollin’ ever since, packing the beautifully open space with first-timers, regulars, family and friends. Tristan Kusnierek is the bald man behind the beer and he has been an avid brewer since the early 90s.

His vision finally came to life with the help of his family so you could say it’s a family affair, even the taproom is family friendly with board games for all ages and outdoor games like bags on the back patio. The spacious bar has multiple ordering stations and although there is a partition, visitors can still check out the brewery equipment and watch the magic happen before their eyes. Music is at the core of the brand, hence the names of their beer which include Tupelo Honey Brown Ale, Young American Pale Ale and Blinded by the Light Blonde. Having a brewery in Eagan is a win, but the best part is that it’s right across the street from Eagan’s Twin Cities Premium Outlets! Shopping and beer — what could be better?
