Beer anybody?
First up, you’ll want to visit 10k Brewing, Anoka’s first and only taproom. Sample a flight of some of their wide variety brews and take home a growler or two of your favorites. 10K’s taproom features a friendly atmosphere and entertainment. Nice beer. Nice people.
And lest we forget, Forgotten Star Brew Co. in Fridley is a new brewery and taproom fashioned from a 1940s pump company that was converted to manufacturing canon for the navy during WWII. The plant was recognized seven times throughout the war for efficiency and excellence – and is one of just eight plants to achieve this lofty recognition. Forgotten Star Brewing is committed to this same level of excellence in brewing craft beer.
Or how about a little wine?
Wine enthusiasts have a special treat in store at Willow Tree Winery in Ham Lake. Willow Tree is a new vineyard and tasting room featuring several varietals and seasonal wines. Willow Tree wines are only available on site, so find your favorites and bring a bottle or two home. The tasting room is open Thursday – Sunday. Groups and group tours are welcome.
