Union 32 Craft House

What Union 32 Craft House does

Union 32 Craft House is a privately held, single-location brewpub operating at 2864 Highway 55 in Eagan, Minnesota, serving local residents and visitors in the Twin Cities metro with a full food and beverage program. The core offering consists of a scratch food menu (smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps, salads, pizza, wings, appetizers, and a kids' menu) paired with a beverage program spanning house craft beers (Northern Lights lager, Union 32 Hazy IPA), wine, classic and seasonal cocktails, and spirits, plus non-alcoholic options.

The business operates several product modules on top of the core menu: a happy hour program running Tuesday–Friday 2–5 PM and all day Sunday with discounted rail cocktails and food specials; weekly trivia nights and "The Initials Game" on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with $5 drink promotions; a private party room seating up to 30 guests with a self-pour tap wall and customizable event menus; and the Pints for Purpose monthly give-back program donating $1 per featured pint to a rotating Twin Cities nonprofit. Off-premise reach is extended through a DoorDash integration for takeout and delivery.

The revenue model is purely transactional: per-item food and beverage sales on premise plus per-event fees for private parties, with no subscriptions, contracts, or recurring billing. Marketing is driven by organic social (Facebook, Instagram), the company website with menu and party booking, in-venue entertainment events, and the monthly nonprofit partnership cadence. The owner/operator contact is listed as Justin ([email protected]); ownership is independent with no identified parent, investor, or franchise structure.
