It is open seven days a week, including all Monday holidays, with extended hours on select holidays like July 3 and July 4. The brewery serves pints, cans, and growlers, and offers a range of merchandise and gift options.

The taproom occupies a historic site originally built in 1880 as a chapel, situated along the banks of the Cannon River in Dundas, Minnesota, a short drive south of the Twin Cities. The space continues to serve as a gathering place, now for patrons enjoying craft beer and views of the river. The brewery emphasizes sustainability with rain barrels, a permeable parking lot, a rain garden planted with native flowers, and minimal lawn grass. The East Cannon River Trail, a paved and plowed loop connecting Northfield and Dundas, runs just a block away, making it accessible to walkers, runners, and cyclists. Kayakers and canoeists can also enjoy the river, with rental options available in Dundas.

Chapel Brewing maintains strong online visibility through consistent and well-structured business information, with a website that search engines can read clearly. The business is easily found across digital platforms, reinforcing its presence in the local craft beer scene. Its commitment to quality, community, and the natural environment enhances its standing in Owatonna’s growing craft beverage culture.
