If you go to Minnesota, don't buy the beer you see in grocery stores or gas stations. It's a huge waste of money for the lightest beer you can buy.
Is that to say that there are liquor/package stores that are better to buy from?
Yes, if you want alcohol in Minnesota, find a liquor store. You'll get the good stuff there. The craft beer scene is top notch too, everywhere you go there's at least half a dozen local brews in every liquor store.
Thats good to know and good to hear the craft scene is going strong. Most of them in my area like to make overly hoppy brews, but I do prefer the notion of buying local/semi-local.
Where should you buy it?
Liquor stores only. Everything else is 3.2 abv
Weird. It's not like that on the west coast. So beer manufacturers make special batches for your grocery stores?
Yep, but they're almost entirely big box stuff like Coors, Busch, and other In-bev beers like it. In the Twin Cities you can also find Schell's, which is better but still one of the worst local brands.
