Brickfield Brewing – Local Craft Beer Near Nature Shores

There’s something unforgettable about escaping to a place that feels both peaceful and full of life. At Nature Shores, you get that rare balance. Quiet mornings surrounded by pines, evenings by the fire, and a whole world of local flavor just minutes away.

One of our favorite nearby spots is Brickfield Brewing in the heart of downtown Grantsburg. The building itself tells a story. A beautifully restored 1902 structure with tall windows, exposed brick, and the kind of warmth you only find in small-town Minnesota. Inside, you’ll find handcrafted beers brewed with care, a welcoming crowd of locals and travelers, and a vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy where you are.

Whether you’re sipping their flagship Brickfield Blonde, trying something seasonal, or listening to live music on a Friday night, the place has a way of pulling you in. It’s not just about the beer, it’s about connection, conversation, and community.

After a day exploring Crex Meadows, hiking the Sandrock Cliffs, or paddling along the St. Croix River, Brickfield is the perfect spot to unwind. The drive back to your cabin feels peaceful — trees swaying in the headlights, the night sky stretching wide above you. When you pull into Nature Shores, the world quiets again. Maybe you light a fire, maybe you just sit on the porch and listen to the wind through the pines. Either way, it feels like home.

That’s what makes this place special. It’s not just where you stay, it’s everything that surrounds it. The trails, the river, the local shops, the friendly faces, and yes, a really good brewery just down the road.

So come stay awhile. Explore, sip, relax, repeat.
