Brewery offering sour beers, IPAs, and THC/CBD beverages
"Minneapolis’s first co‑op brewery has poured its last pint: opened in 2014, it filed for bankruptcy in February 2024 due to debt incurred during the pandemic and told members “The Cooperative is no longer operating as a fully functional business.” While the taproom has closed, the brand will live on as Ranchers Beverage Co. takes over production and distribution, and the pizza pop-up Farina Rossa will continue operating in the space for the time being after reaching a deal with the landlord." - Jeffy Mai
"Fair State’s THC seltzer line, aptly named Chill State, offers two drinks — “Pineapple Express” and “Super Lemon Haze” — that balance five milligrams of THC with 25 milligrams of CBD. The “Super Lemon Haze” beverage is made with 10 milligrams of THC and 10 milligrams of CBD). The beverages are only available to-go, not for onsite consumption; Fair State also does delivery." - Ryan Meaney
"I learned that Fair State Brewing Cooperative filed for Chapter 11 earlier this year, citing pandemic-related declines in distribution revenue, changes in consumer behavior, and supply chain challenges, and that the brewery announced this August that it has successfully exited bankruptcy and that the team is “more excited than ever for the future.”" - Justine Jones
"I observed that Fair State Brewing Cooperative in Minnesota collaborated with Hopewell Brewing, helping Hopewell begin serving THC drinks, and that Minnesota has been a battleground for low-dose THC beverages — Marszewski notes more than 100 Minnesota breweries manufacture THC drinks, and the state generated $1.5 million in tax revenue from $15.4 million in sales two months after beginning regulation." - Ashok Selvam
"Fair State balanced its hemp beverage formulations by pairing THC with CBD, offering drinks that contained 25 milligrams of CBD alongside THC to create a different effect profile." - Joe Berkowitz
