“Excellent tap room. Small and comfortable with all their regular beers on tap (obviously). Had their seasonal wheat beer which was delicious! Would have liked to see more snacks (chips and salsa? LBJ does it). Will definitely return though. Lots of dedicated bike lanes so if you’re on a bike it’s easy to get to. Lots of bike racks outside the tap room which was a nice touch.” – Jonathan Klippenstein-Epp

“Brazen Hall is the perfect place to hang up your axe after a day of raiding with your fellow vikings. Their brews are lovingly and skillfully crafted to delight your taste buds. Any beers you take a liking to can be bought right there. The food is both high quality and quantity. The staff are courteous and the safety of both customers and staff is a priority. Would recommend. The brew master’s address to the restaurant was both informative and welcoming.” – Jason Snaith

When it comes to the design of their establishment, a glass with more than 300 sq. st. separates the brewery and the restaurant, so that each customer that comes to restaurant can view the inside of the brewery.

“Great experience every time we go. Solid food, beautiful atmosphere, and of course fantastic beer. Love the dog friendly patio too!” – Marc Badiou
Devil May Care Brewing Company
Devil May Care Brewing Company was started by home brewers Steve Gauthier and Collin Koop. They mutually decided to start brewing because of the lack of craft beer choices in Manitoba. What they did is they explore the craft culture and beer industry outside the province. Then they saw the need to bring those experiences and passion back to Winnipeg. Devil May Care was launched in 2018 starting on collaboration with Stone Angel Brewing. Sharing of experiences, knowledge and space of the two brewery makes a natural fit which marked their name on the local beer industry. The first brews of this craft brewery were inspired by Collin’s passion for new industry trends and creative ingredients, and Steve’s science-based, traditional approach.
