Visiting Bad Habit Brewing in St. Joseph, MN

My friend and fellow beer lover Emily has been telling me to come visit her so she could show me Bad Habit for some time now. According to Emily, they're a great local business run by people who obviously have a passion for craft beer. She's never had a bad beer there. Plus, their taproom is gorgeous. So my boyfriend Mike and I finally made the time to visit Emily and her husband Clayton in Cold Spring, MN, where they gave us a little tour of the local beer haunts.

Let me tell you, she was not exaggerating when it came to Bad Habit. The taproom is lovely. They do a great job with a relatively small space, which apparently is getting expanded soon. The beers are well-crafted. Emily and I agree on our favorite: the Dark Addiction Stout. Currently they also have a golden ale, a brut IPA, a raspberry wheat and an American IPA - cheers to a well rounded tap list!

With the trend of small town breweries popping up across Minnesota, Bad Habit is a standout. They've made quite an impression in less than three years and are showing that they are passionate enough to take the time to create high quality brews and foster a warm community.
