Description
The last known brewery in Waconia closed its doors in 1890 and for over 100 years, the residents of Waconia didn’t have a brewery to call their own. The Waconia Brewing Company opened its doors in October of 2014 and the city again, has a local brewery to enjoy! We’re family-owned and operated and pride ourselves on crafting quality beer and providing an enjoyable taproom experience to our customers who come from near and far.

Taster flight at Stone Arch. Wow! Head and shoulders above the rest. Smooth with robust peanut butter and chocolate notes. Creamy, light biterness, a bit dry. Aroma is mostly peanut, while the taste brings the chocolate. Like the old Reese's commercial You got peanut butter in my chocolate! Exquisite.

The Aromas are dominated by peanut butter with a little bit of roast and cocoa. Flavors are like nose, more sweet than bitter, thankfully enough carbonation to balance but the cocoa is hard to find. Decent body with a slight medicinal finish. Basically dark peanut butter beer.

ABR 2017. Amber color, hazy. Surprisingly dry and bitter. I expected it sweeter. The one I had indicated a barrel was used for aging. Well hopped, and the hops are dry, with some citrus.

Pours a clear, copper-gold, with smallish, fast-dissipating head. Aroma has some bread, some grass, a touch of fruit. Flavor is bready, grassy, with pine/spruce hops and just a touch of citrus. Fairly bitter flavor and finish/aftertaste. It isn't bad.

Part of a flight at Stone Arch MSP as Waconia Peanut Butter Porter 6.4% Cola black with ruby highlights. Big peanut aroma, smooth light body and rich peanut flavor but a tad artificial. Decent though.

On tap at Stone Arch. Pours a clear copper with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of fresh pine and resin with grass and sweet grains underlying. Flavor has a good amount of resin with a decent amount of pine and sweet grains backing.
