The editorial take
A working brewery and taproom whose identity is built on Local 755, a flagship NEIPA poured here and distributed across Minnesota for over eight years. The beer side leans hard into hazy IPAs and pale ales, and SLOPES Pilsener took Bronze in the International Pilsener Category at the Great American Beer Festival. For a nonalcoholic option, Real Trees: Minnesota Mule (Ginger Lime) is a 5mg hemp-derived Delta 9 THC beverage with a published certificate of analysis.

- Local 755 has been a core offering for over eight years and is distributed across Minnesota as well as poured in the StackRoom. SLOPES Pilsener holds a Bronze medal from the Great American Beer Festival, and the Real Trees line carries a published certificate of analysis.
