A visit to the lovely Twin Cities for the summer is not complete without stopping by and paying your respects to at least one Minneapolis distillery for some cocktails and spirits.
Visiting Minneapolis distilleries are one of the must-do activities every day tripper should do in the summertime. Dropping in a distillery is not only all fun and drinks, but it also gives one an opportunity to be taught by the masters and learn the story behind their business and how it contributes to the Minnesotan industry.But for the most part, it is all about the ingenuity and the creativity behind these delicious drinks, and how these drinks have the power to connect one person to another. It is the things we cannot see that makes one liquor (or cocktail) stand out and here are some of the distilleries that craft them.
You may meet some of the brand reps from some Minneapolis local distilleries at the Winter Whiskey Festival on Saturday, January 26th. Click below to learn more and save with code DWF (Drink With Friends)!
