USA, MN: Intuition Brewing officially opens its doors in Willmar

A full tap list containing all eight sponsored beers was finally made fully available to the public as local start-up brewery Intuition Brewing officially opened its doors during its "Official, Official" Grand Opening Party in downtown Willmar on Saturday, January 6, the West Central Tribune reported.

The brewery sits in the former location of Foxhole Brewhouse, which moved its business to a new location on Highway 71 late last year. Intuition Brewing is operated by co-owners Micah Larson and Liz Heimer. Larson, who first found a love for brewing with a home-brew kit seven years ago, is still processing the fact that he co-owns a brewery selling beer and seltzers he crafted himself.

"It's very surreal," Larson said. "I've talked about having my very own brewery for a very long time."

Despite Saturday serving as the grand opening, the brewery has been operating for a couple of weeks following a successful soft launch on Dec. 23. Larson said they wanted to wait until all eight sponsored brews and seltzer were available for people to check out before having an official opening.

The brewery is now open Wednesday through Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., and Saturday from noon until 10 p.m.
