Cocktails Worth Falling For
Feb

Cocktails Worth Falling For

Craft cocktails that showcase American Single Malt, not bury it.

Join Brother Justus Bar Manager Katie for an intimate, hands-on cocktail experience centered around our American Single Malt Whiskey. You’ll start with a welcome cocktail, then settle in for a practical breakdown of what actually makes a great drink: balance, texture, dilution, and flavor.

From there, you'll take on the role of bartender yourself—shaking a Clover Club with intention and stirring an Espresso Old Fashioned worth savoring. Katie will guide you through what to listen for, feel for, and taste for, so you walk away understanding why these cocktails work, not just how to copy them.

You’ll leave with:

  • The confidence to make better cocktails at home

  • Insider tips you won’t find on a recipe card

  • A 375ml bottle of Brother Justus American Single Malt to keep the night going

Come with a date, bring a friend, or make it your Valentine's Weekend date. Space is limited, and seats won’t last—reserve your spot at the bar today.

An Evening with The Founder

An Evening with The Founder

Spend an evening at the distillery with Brother Justus Founder Phil Steger, and experience the story behind the whiskey.

This immersive tour and tasting brings you in to hear why Brother Justus Whiskey Company exists. Phil will share what inspired him to start a whiskey company in Minnesota, how the story of the Prohibition-era, Minnesota monk Brother Justus shaped the brand, and what continues to drive the distillery today.

From the shadow of Prohibition to the present day, you’ll hear how Brother Justus evolved through years of experimentation, patience, and precision—including the 400+ distillations it took to get our recipes exactly right. No shortcuts. No rush. Just an unwavering commitment to doing things the hard way for the right reasons.

Along the way, Phil pulls back the curtain on how innovation, expertise, and intuition come together in our whiskey. You’ll hear how he and our Master Blender know when a whiskey is ready to be bottled, what ideas are still taking shape behind the scenes, and a little about where Brother Justus is headed next.

Paired with a guided tasting of our whiskeys, this is a rare opportunity to connect directly with the vision, values, and curiosity that define Brother Justus. Trust us—you’ll be engaged from the first pour to the last story.

This tour is perfect for those who love origin stories, thoughtful conversation, and deeper connection to the people behind what they drink.

Step inside our distillery and see how we make our whiskey, from raw grain to the glass in your hand. This guided tour is the perfect introduction to who we are, how we do things differently, and why Minnesota’s climate plays a starring role in our American Single Malt Whiskey.

Art of the Sip: Inspired by Justus

Art of the Sip: Inspired by Justus

Join us to celebrate the Art of the Sip! Brother Justus and potter Samuel Johnson invited potters, ceramicists, and artists to create three different whiskey cups inspired by our distillery's core expressions: Silver, American, and Cold-Peated®. Artists learned about the distillery and vision from Founder Phil Steger and spent the last few months crafting pieces drawing on any aspect of the whiskey, such as its flavor, ingredients, history, associations, and more, that illuminated their creativity.

On December 12, each artist will exhibit their work and share the ideas that inspired their selection at a gallery style reception at the distillery, including renowned artist Richard Bresnahan, Artist-in-Residence at St. John’s University, first living pottery featured at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and subject of the Emmy-winning documentary Clay, Wood, Fire, Spirit. Guests are invited to browse the work and talk with the artists, sample neat pours of Brother Justus American Single Malt Whiskeys, and shop bottles and art. (Each cup that is part of the exhibition may be purchased, in addition to other work at the artists' discretion.)

The event is free, but RSVPs are requested!
