Pryes Brewing Company

What Pryes Brewing Company does

Pryes Brewing Company is a privately held craft brewery headquartered at 1401 West River Road North in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating a flagship riverside taproom and a wholesale distribution business. The company was founded in 2012 and is structured as Pryes Brewing Company, LLC under Minnesota jurisdiction. Core operations span two integrated business lines: a direct-to-consumer taproom experience featuring eight packaged beer styles (Miraculum Midwest IPA, Royal Raspberry Sour Ale, Pragmatic Classic Pilsner, Mass Haze-Teria Hazy IPA, Course Correct Citra Pale Ale, Peace Offering Cold Press Stout, Pryes Gold Golden Ale, and Pryes Glamorama West Coast IPA) paired with a wood-fired pizza kitchen, and a wholesale distribution arm moving packaged and draft beer into 1,000+ bars, restaurants, and liquor stores across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, Rochester, and Mankato, exclusively within the state of Minnesota. The taproom also offers differentiated experiential assets including a riverside patio, a 12-screen sports viewing venue, and one of only a few feather bowling lanes in the United States.

The revenue model is hybrid. Taproom sales and wholesale distribution to on-premise/off-premise accounts form the primary volume base, while the Pryes Passport annual membership (sold out for 2026, marketed at $225+ in value via monthly free beer and rotating taproom deals) provides a recurring subscription revenue layer. Secondary revenue includes league fees from the seasonal Feather Bowling League, event-hosting fees for private bookings, and merchandise sales through an e-commerce storefront at store.pryesbrewing.com. Customer segments span craft beer enthusiasts and social drinkers, sports fans (anchored by the official beer partnership with the Minnesota Twins at Target Field and a 12-bar sports viewing network across the Twin Cities), Minnesota retail and on-premise SMB accounts, and loyal taproom regulars. The company is led by President Mike Corneille and operates with a workforce in the 51–100 employee range. Marketing is community-focused, leveraging Minnesota Twins co-branding, email/newsletter outreach, social media, event sponsorships (e.g., Lowertown Sounds 2026 concert series at Mears Park, St. Paul), and local nonprofit sponsorships.
