Visit Our Minneapolis Distillery
Overlooking the rolling hills of the Columbia Golf Course in Northeast Minneapolis, the Brother Justus Distillery awaits you! Host your next party, corporate get-together, or happy hour in our space, or join us for a distillery tour — perfect for making lasting memories with friends and family.
Brother Justus Whiskey Co. is a strictly 21+, ID-verified establishment. No guest under the age of 21 will be admitted to the distillery, including infants and children in strollers. Exceptions may be provided for private event rentals.
All guests will need to show proof of photo ID, even if not intending to drink alcohol. We card everyone; no exceptions. Thank you for your understanding!
Our Distillery
Our distillery was built to showcase our whiskey and the way it brings people together. Every space, from the production floor to the lounge, is intentionally designed to bring you closer to the process and moment. Whether you're here to learn, connect, or simply enjoy a great pour, you're part of the craft.
The Production Floor
This is where the work happens, from barley to bottle, amidst steel, copper, and the steady hum of distillation. You stand just steps away from our pursuit of flawless flavor, where every batch is shaped with intention, not automation.
The Lounge
Our lounge offers a welcoming space to slow down over a thoughtfully poured whiskey. It’s comfortable, but never casual when it comes to what’s in your glass—a perfect backdrop for your private event, from small group celebrations to large corporate parties.
The Chapter Room
Here, business meets barrels. Tucked away from the main floor, this space is designed for conversation, whether you’re hosting a team, clients, or something more personal. Views into behind-the-scenes operations keep you connected to the craft during your rental period.
