Hi there! We are Melissa and Amy Netland, founders of fun here at Lakes Area Brew Bus. We have lived in the Brainerd Lakes Area since 2017, making the leap from big city living in Los Angeles, to the lake life of the Brainerd Lakes Area. Our desire for a slower pace and doing all things outdoors led us to this wonderful community! An easy switch for Amy, being a native Minnesotan. On the other hand, Melissa, a native Californian, is still working on the correct pronunciation and use cases for "uff-da".

​

After experiencing the amazing breweries in the area for ourselves, we could not wait to bring something new and fun to enhance the experience of craft brew tasting throughout the local community!
