    I'm trying to track down a Minnesota brewery that is owned by armed forces Veterans. Any one know of one? Google has been less than helpful. All I could find is Veteran Beer Co. in St. Cloud. Any help would be much appreciated!

    As a consolation prize, I'd take a brewery that hires Veterans.

    Veteran Beer Co. is a Chicago-based client brewing company that uses Cold Spring (which probably accounts for the St. Cloud connection), Steven's Point, and others for contract brewing. It owns no physical brewing plant. I'm not sure it's even still operating.

    One of the owners of Tilion Brewing Company in Cannon Falls is a veteran. I believe one of the owners of the recently opened Torg Brewing in Spring Lake Park is a veteran.

    It's not a brewery, but Wander North Distillery in Nordeast Minneapolis is owned by a veteran.

    Hey Darker,

    I served back in the late 90s, my son is currently at Ft. Benning, and we've got 3 other veterans on our staff. We work quite often with military charities for events also.

    Cheers,
    Matt
