A few of my friends and I went to Mana Brewing on Saturday night around 10 pm. Mana is a new brewery in the area. The brewery is connected with an apartment complex. They have a decent beer selection as well as a few seltzers. The interior is a bit too bright and could do with some better lighting. It feels like a place that still needs to find an identity. They have a kitchen that you can view, and they make pizzas that look very delicious. At the same time, there is trash lying around and regulars who are controlling the volume of the music. It was not super busy, but as a new brewery, I feel like they would want to make a better impression. I tried the cream ale and thought it was okay. It felt similar to a light beer.

Stopped in Sunday for my inaugural visit. I didn’t see the banner on the patio so I thought I was in the wrong place… it was an apartment building. Circling back.. I saw it. I wasn’t sure… there was a chalkboard sign directing parking in to the garage but I didn’t attempt, so I street parked about five spaces away. Nick was my friendly bartender and helped me select his current go-to the Honey Hazy IPA, a NE IPA. He didn’t steer me wrong, it was good. I didn’t look over the rest of menu you but it was sizeable w cocktails, desserts and pizzas… all which have been on my radar @ the original Shakopee brewery, I just haven’t made the jump. I really liked the floor to ceiling windows… all around! The bathrooms were close to the bar. Thanks Mana Oakdale for a delicious beer at my 375th brewery, cheers!

Parking absolutely sucks. You either drive around until someone leaves or you have to pay for it. Selection of beer was small, but was okay. Very, very loud and hard to hear others. The pizza had lots of flavor and was hot. Service over all was okay.

Beautiful location. Beer was fantastic. Had a quickly prepared pickle pizza. They have some games and a very comfortable atmosphere!

This was a quick stop for us, we only stayed for one drink. Would’ve liked to stay for more. A little hard to find parking. Really cool place though. There’s a pizza place right in the lobby of the brewery. They have some merch, including tin tackers, which we collect. We’ll be back to try more beers

I really like this place, and I had a great time! The food was super yummy and the drinks were very good.
The minor complaints I had were…
That it didn’t seem like there’s a ton of seating, and not very comfortable.
That it’s a bit hard to hear when you’re talking. (I think because the ceilings are so high)
And the bathrooms have no doors, which in this day and age makes me nervous, but that might just be me.
I do recommend this place, but if you have a large group, I would recommend calling ahead and making a reservation.

Great atmosphere and feel. Pizza is delicious and the one beer I tried was very good (Hook and Ladder Amber) was excellent; smooth and flavorful. Staff was helpful and pleasant. I will be going back!!

There were a number of good beer selections to choose from. The environment is open and welcoming for couples as well as groups. The custom made pizzas are a great addition to cold beer. The place was busy and had to wait for service until a second person came to help at the bar to clear up the waiting line
