On our trip up to Duluth last weekend, we made our usual stop at vikre and decided to grab one of their cocktail kits.

Cider and Cedar

apple cider, a bag of spices they put together, a 375 of their cedar gin, and a lemon. Instructions to simmer the spices in the cider for 20 minutes. 1.5 oz of gin, 4 oz of the spiced cider, and a squeeze of lemon. Holy cow this is INCREDIBLE. I'll need to pull that spice bag apart and inventory the contents.

Also, their cedar gin is worth seeking out. Top three gins I've ever had.

For the gin drinkers out there, highly, highly recommend Lussa. A little harder to find than Vikre (also excellent, try the cedar) but in that same tier. Really good neat.

Olde English HG 8000?! What am I supposed to play Edward Fortyhands with now? Colt?!!

Not exactly sure of that. Currently in retail and I still count 60-70 customers walking out with 30s of Busch Light; these people are in their mid 40s or later.

Most younger drinkers get exposed to the variety of options that are available however. Those of us currently in our late 30s are really the 1st "drinking generation" to be exposed to the idea of craft/local brewing. Anyone in their 40s or older knew basically Bud/Coors/Miller and that is it. It's a game changer when you are looking to establish a life long brand relationship.

Also you have to think of economics as well. People buying a 30-pack at Meijer probably have things to say about single cans of beer in the $2-5 range.

Well the dudes that are attached to those names are quickly dying off.... The 21-24 crowd will drink whatever is on sale for $12.99 for a 30-pack. Companies are realizing that the college kids will "outgrow" the party swill and won't form a life long love with a particular brand.

That doesn't make sense. St Paul is around 5k for a 180+ seat restaurant

I might be confusing the liquor license fee with another. He’s been having issues with the city regarding a host of things surrounding his ability to add outdoor seating in response to COVID. That might’ve been the $29k.
