James Page Brewing Company was a microbrewery founded by Minneapolis attorney James Page in 1986. It was located on Quincy Street in Northeast Minneapolis, in an aging industrial warehouse building. The brewery's infrastructure was cobbled together from secondhand equipment. Page never exceeded more than about 1500 barrels per year of production until it was sold to new owners in the mid-1990s. In addition to operating a brewery, James Page was also a home brewing retailer. It operated a retail store out of the company's tap room and had a mail-order shipping/catalogue operation.

In 2002, the brewery was shut down. The company continued to contract-brew beer at other regional breweries. In 2005, the company's final asset was liquidated when the Page brand name was purchased by the Stevens Point Brewery in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
