Vodka Made From Sugar Beets Right Here In Minnesota
Leave it to Minnesota ingenuity to come up with a great idea like this. Ben Brueshoff, of Minneapolis was pondering awhile back about starting a craft brewery but figured the field was pretty much saturated. So what now?
Well, why not make vodka out of sugar beets? "The craft beer industry is really saturated. There's a bunch of breweries; distillers, very very few," he said. "So we kind of had the lightbulb moment and said, let's create another social, locally made spirit, or drink, I should say, and that was a spirit, vodka, made out of sugar beets."
