Rooted in Minnesota Agriculture

Minnesota distilling starts on the farm. Our member distilleries depend on Minnesota farmers for everything from corn, wheat and sorghum to gin botanicals, whey from the dairy industry, honey, maple and more. The relationship runs both ways: farmers rely on our distilleries’ spent grain to feed their livestock. We work hand in hand with Minnesota agriculture, and we are proud supporters of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.

Events

No Guild events are on the calendar right now — we’re planning what’s next.

Our signature tasting event, MN Spirits Fest, brings Minnesota distillers and fans together under one roof. Watch this page (and follow us on Facebook and Instagram) for announcements.
