On Tuesday, Minneapolis-based Indeed Brewing Co. will begin selling its own beer in Castle Danger’s growlers. Tom Whisenand, Indeed’s CEO, says it’s a playful workaround designed to raise awareness about Minnesota’s cap on growler sales. Under Minnesota law, breweries are prohibited from selling growlers, crowlers, or other off-sale products in their taprooms once they begin producing more than 20,000 barrels a year.
Indeed hasn’t hit that mark quite yet, which means the brewery can continue selling any growlers it wants. But Whisenand is well aware that that the state’s cap on growlers will eventually impact his operations.
