The “off-the-beaten-path” Concept
VOLUME 2 was curated to offer NEW Experiences “off-the-beaten-path” as we’ve selected award-winning Minnesota craftsmen that are in more unique, spread-out locations and pays tribute to some of the (few) Women-Owned Breweries & Distilleries. We want you to have an adventure and try something new, and for many of you, you’ll be visiting many new places and neighborhoods.
Learn More about the concept and how we chose the places we did for Volume 2.

How Drink Passports Work
- Bring your book to each location and…
- …when your tab comes, the staff will stamp it and take 1 drink off your tab*.
- You just tip like you got a free drink, because you did:)
(How Passports Work)
*Great with friends!* Complimentary drinks are provided for each book, so multiple books may be used on a single tab (ie. 2 books gets the 1st round of 2 drinks).
*Remember* Craft Notes is about supporting great local businesses and their local staff! Many of whom love talking beer, so bring a friend, grab a spot at the bar, and settle in for a good time…
Explore at your own pace. Our Passports are the best way for you experience and support the most phenomenal local craftsmen that are helping shape Minnesota culture. You’ll always have something new to do and a complimentary drink to enjoy when you do it!
“We hope you enjoy the “Off the beaten path” experiences we’ve put together. Volume 2 is my personal favorite edition. Me and my wife use it for dates as an excuse to visit a new part of the cities, try a new restaurant, and then after-dinner drinks…
– Matt D. Craft Notes Founder
