# List of breweries in Minnesota

Breweries in Minnesota produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally, regionally, and nationally in the United States. Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and microbreweries to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries.
In 2014, Minnesota's 109 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 667 people directly, and more than 24,000 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing. As of 2020, the number of craft breweries had grown to 217, and the craft brewing overall economic impact of $2.2 billion ranked 12th among U.S. states.
Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Minnesota's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Minnesota's breweries and related industries was more than $480 million. Consumer purchases of Minnesota's brewery products generated more than $177 million extra in tax revenue. In 2020, Minnesota ranked 13th among U.S. states in the number of craft breweries per capita, with 5.2 breweries per 100,000 adults.
