‘Last Call’ For This Central Minnesota Brewery

WE SAY GOODBYE TO A BELOVED BREWERY

A beloved brewery, Dangerous Man Brewing, is closing its doors. Dangerous Man Brewing, with its production facility located in Maple Lake, MN, has been in business for 12 years in central Minnesota and will be closing at the end of March 2025.

SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR YOU

For those of you who were caught off guard and are wondering why they are closing, Dangerous Man Brewing left this message on their website:

All good things must come to an end, and part of the journey is knowing when to embrace change. Now is that moment for us. After 12 incredible years of crafting beer and creating community, the time has come for us to hang up the brewing paddle. Dangerous Man will be closing down its operations at the end of the month. Like many in our industry, we’ve faced changes and challenges—rising costs, shifting demand, and evolving customer habits. We are in a position where we can make the call with intention, our staff, and the future in mind. What we built together wasn’t just successful; it was meaningful, vibrant, and deeply loved. It worked beautifully for a long time. That is something to celebrate. However, it is time to make the last call.
Dangerous Man was never just about the beer. For over 12 years, this has been our dream, our adventure, our ship of fools, our wild and wonderful ride. We’ve been lucky to share it with an incredible staff and community, creating unforgettable connections along the way. Dangerous Man gave us the chance to create, grow, and give back—from events and volunteer efforts (6,263 volunteer hours) to our community garden (6,556 lbs of produce donated to families in need), taproom, beer alley, and production space. We’ve witnessed amazing stories unfold—staff launching their businesses, growing families, and chasing new dreams.

And you—our community—have been with us through it all. We’ve watched folks come together, supporting each other and us in ways we could have never imagined. Every toast, new release, every can you took home, and every quiet (or loud!) pint shared with a friend in the taproom and Beer Alley. For that, we are eternally grateful.

With more gratitude than sadness, we say goodbye. Thank you for the love you poured into Dangerous Man. We hope we have been part of some of your cherished moments. As we wind down over the next few weeks, grab another pack, and raise a glass to the memories and all you hold dear. Let’s toast to the last call of something great and the beauty of new beginnings.

With love and endless appreciation,

Dangerous Man Brewing
