North 20 Brewing started out as a gift to one of the founders, David Schmitz. During the 2015 holiday season, the Schmitz household gifted David a homebrew kit. It didn't take long for David and his two sons, Christian and Jordan, to realize how much they enjoyed this weekend hobby. The Schmitz family quickly developed the dream of one day opening a brewery. Realizing this would take more than some simple homebrew knowledge, Christian and Jordan decided to attend Dakota County Technical College’s Brewing and Beer Steward Technology program. As for the name 'North 20 Brewing,’ this is a testament to a grandparent of the Schmitz family, who referred to the beautiful property where the brewery is located as the "North 20." We are sentimental when remembering how grandpa enjoyed driving up the dirt road on his John Deere to mow the North 20.Our goal is to provide a location where people can gather to socialize while enjoying a locally brewed beer. We believe drinking craft beer is more than simply tasting a well-made drink. To us, it is about the time you get to spend with the people around you. Our goal is to give our community a space to meet, have fun, and drink fresh beer, all while enjoying a unique, refreshing, and relaxed setting.
