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.
