About the Brewery
On September 6, 2014, Fair State Co-op became the first cooperatively-owned brewery in Minnesota, and the third in the country. In the years since they opened, co-op members have helped design beer recipes, picked fresh berries for our annual fruited sour, volunteered countless hours through their “Cooperates” program, and formed meaningful relationships with each other and our staff.
The cooperative’s membership is currently over 1,500 and growing every day. In 2017, they added a 40,000 square foot production facility to meet growing demand in distribution. At the original Northeast brewery, they continue to brew innovative small-batch beers that feature hard-to-source and local ingredients.
