Talking Waters Brewing - Montevideo, MN

Get to know your brewers @twbrewingco. 

Meet Nick and Phil. This dynamic duo has been crushing brews in Montevideo, MN for the last six years. They’re currently featured @stonearchmsp, so the next time you hit the airport, give them a try!

• Talking Waters opened for business in July 2016. 

• Neither of these brewing geniuses had prior professional brewing experience. Nick started as a home brewer in college and Phil joined in when they started making pilot batches for Talking Waters. 

• The first beer brewed for Talking Waters was their award-winning Cream Ale, Farmer’s Tan. 

• Talking Waters brews with a 10bbl @dmesystems brewhouse and six 10bbl unitanks. 

• Their favorite style to brew would be any of their Lagers and new school West Coast IPAs. They love their clear beers!

• The hardest challenge for them has been operating in a small community (population 5,402). Although they have great customers and fantastic support, their taproom is definitely limited by their geography. It’s forced them to move into distribution faster than they anticipated. 

• Future plans include a potential rooftop space at the taproom and bottle releases of Imperial Stouts and mixed-culture Sours. 

• A great reason to stop by is their fantastic staff and broad selection of styles on tap. Also, Montevideo is a beautiful town with Talking Waters right in the heart of their Main Street. 

• You’ll catch these two crushing @schellsbeer Lights and @modistbrewing Supra Deluxes after work. 

• When they’re not brewing or canning your favorite beers, you can catch Nick golfing, snowboarding, doing a triathlon or spending time with his family. Phil likes to golf, cross country ski, frisbee golf, and spend time with his family as well. 

Whenever you are looking for a chance to get out of the Cities, make the trip to Montevideo, MN, just two hours west of Minneapolis. Stop into Talking Waters and savor their wonderful suds. 🍻
