Waconia Brewing Company was founded by two families with an entrepreneurial spirit and a love of craft beers. The venture started as many breweries have, with the gift of a home brewing kit which fueled a dream to take their passions to the next level. WBC is the realization of that dream, created for all to enjoy. The taproom, on Main Street in Waconia, features four namesake beers in constant supply as well as ever-changing seasonal selections and limited edition specialty brews available by the glass or in growlers to go.
