Minnesota’s fantastic beer festival scene has offered everything from chicken wing pairings to frozen beer lines over the years. (That still didn’t stop hearty Minnesotans.) Since they’re spread throughout the state, beer festivals are also a perfect excuse to experience a new part of Minnesota for a weekend.
In our kitchen by the saltless sea, we make small-batch ice cream using the finest Minnesota dairy and premium ingredients. Our food menu is simple, delicious, and homemade.
