Actually Big Axe is small batch brewery located in the heart of central MN lake country, right der in Downtown Nisswa, ya know? We brew on a 7bbl system and have up to 10 different varieties of beer on tap so everybody can find one they can rank a FIVER (right? yeah right!).   If you like our beers tell your friends.
