About Thousand Lakes Brewing Company
Thousand Lakes Brewing Company is a family owned brewery and taproom on W Lake St in Parkers Prairie. It started with two brothers-in-law, Matt and Kevin, who home brewed with a club called the Woodside Brew Bros. Friends and family liked the beer, and the two began entering competitions before they opened the taproom.
The name comes from Otter Tail County. The brewery says the county has more lakes than any other county in the United States.
The tap list runs from a schwarzbier and a cold IPA to hazy IPAs, fruited sours and a Belgian witbier. There is also hard seltzer, house made root beer and lemon lime soda, and rotating non-alcoholic beer. The brewery says its Sassy Redhead raspberry sour won silver at the MN Brewers Cup in 2025.
Grab a pint and settle in with a deck of cards or a board game. Dogs are welcome in the taproom and on the patio.
