A YEAR TO REMEMBER
“We opened on September 20, 2015 with a goal to bring great-tasting, sessionable beers to the suburbs, to create a favorite meeting place, and to make Maple Grovers proud,” said Justin Walsh, co-founder of OMNI Brewing Company. “The feedback we’re getting from the industry and the community tells us we’re delivering on our promises.”

During its first year in business the brewery accomplished many things, including:
• Released over 20 unique beers
• Generated 19,700 kWh of clean, renewable power from their solar grid
• Opened a deluxe 2400 square foot patio with a fire pit
• Expanded internal seating and created a separate room for event usage
• Increased fermenting capacity five-fold (from 30bbl to 150 bbl)
• Commissioned an 11’ original work of art displayed in the taproom, that traces the history of craft beer in Minnesota
• Won Thrillist Best New Brewery in the Twin Cities (2015) and Maple Grove Magazine Best of Maple Grove (2016)
• Hosted cribbage and bean bag leagues and monthly yoga classes
• Benefited over 30 organizations through direct donations and service work via the OMNI Doing Co., the company’s philanthropic arm.

“Giving back to the community is one of our core values,” said Steve Hayes, co-founder of OMNI Brewery. “That’s why we’re including local musicians, local artists and a local charity in our birthday event. We’re all part of one big, thriving community, where you can come as you are.”

WHAT'S ON TAP FOR THE COMING YEAR?
“We’ll be releasing more seasonal and specialty brews, and getting our beer in more restaurants and bars,” said Head Brewer Zach Ward. “The demand for craft beer is high and we will continue growing our operation to meet that demand – and have fun while we’re doing it. Because, you know, beer is fun.”
