"Sure there’s plenty of beer, but isn’t the preferred drink for celebrating all things Irish really whiskey? An actual monk will be on hand from the Brother Justus’ monastery to bless the still at this Northeast Minneapolis distillery on Saturday from 4:30. The distillery is named for a Minnesotan Benedictine blacksmith monk, who built and gave away pure copper whiskey stills to Minnesota farmers during Prohibition. A true hero if there ever was one." - Cinnamon Janzer
