I spent the day at the Winter Beer Dabbler, Minnesota’s biggest beer festival, asking folks one simple question:
What’s your Minnesota hot take?
Turns out… y’all had a lot to say.
We heard that the
#JuicyLucy is overrated (one guy said the cheese in the middle doesn’t make it special). Someone else swore that the Renaissance Festival is better than the
#MNStateFair—cheaper turkey legs and better vibes. There were strong feelings about zipper merging, a takedown of Saint Cloud drivers, and a bold claim that
#Wisconsin's drinking culture might be… better?
Oh, and of course: The Nook vs. Matt’s Bar.
You know that one’s gonna stir people up.
This was a blast to film. Thanks to everyone who shared their take—whether I agreed or not.
Got a
#Minnesota hot take of your own? Drop it in the comments. I might just come find you next time.
