With the help of @mncraftbrew, we're selling shirts at the MN State Fair. Our #DrinkLocal shirts will support our efforts at the capitol, so get 'em while they're in stock!

Political progress that could help a LOT of small businesses across the state!

You know what’s not FAIR? Our craft beverage laws in MN. You know what is FAIR? The fact that you can grab our special #DrinkLocalMN shirts at the @mncraftbrew merch area at the MN State FAIR and support our efforts to change these laws!
(See what we did there?! 😉)

[Minnesota Craft Beverage Council @mncraftbev]

Just a quick reminder, if you're headed to the #MNStateFair, please remember to #MaskUp when you're picking up your #DrinkLocalMN shirt and contacting your legislator. Please help protect each other and the workers in the Ag/Hort Building!

Here's a great way that just a few local craft beverage folks are working together: Beer at a Distillery? The Dampfwerk Shandy Project https://t.co/OB4h2RhA5t

[Minnesota Craft Beverage Council @mncraftbev]

Plus #DrinkLocalMN that actually helps all the craft beverage people and bars and restaurants.

[Kelly Eull @keull]

@zackstephenson @Stowydad Can you also please tackle some "real" reform like the growler issue.

"In 2020, [the pandemic] resulted in a total economic loss of almost $187M and $95M in missed sales, as breweries and taprooms remained closed throughout the state, according to a recent report by U of M Extension, which was based on a @mncraftbrew survey" https://t.co/jm4mV0EUhA
