History

Bent Brewstillery arose from a genuine passion for the art of brewing. They are proud to offer locally produced, award-winning beers and describe themselves as Minnesota's first Brewstillery, combining a brewery and a distillery and challenging traditional style guides to create unique tasting experiences, while emphasizing quality and integrity.

Production and Distillation

The brewery has a 7,500 square-foot storage area in Roseville, Minnesota. The brew house uses a 2-chamber, 20-barrel system that fills four 40-barrel conical fermenters, as well as a 5-barrel pilot system for sour beer. Distillation is used to produce washes for the distillate, and the distillation consists of a 500-gallon MegaStill for production and a 26-gallon spirit still for experiments and recipe development. According to the plan, the brewery and fermentation will be used to produce washes for the distillate, and their approach involves using the highest-quality building materials and tight heart cuts to eliminate undesired flavors.
