A micro-distillery and cocktail room featuring 10 handcrafted distilled products and 40+ cocktails! Research and investments ensued. Louis Park.

Copperwing Distillery is the story of three friends who come from the fields of engineering, medicine, and law. In 2014, Chris and Brian, who were former neighbors and fast friends, got to talking one night over cocktails. They speculated about what it would take to open their own micro-distillery and realized it was something within their reach. A short while later, Chris recruited Kyle, a former colleague and home brew hobbyist, to join the endeavor and Copperwing Distillery was born. The guys found a warehouse space in St. Louis Park and set to work pursuing licenses, designing and building stills, and developing recipes for spirits. They did this in the hours after tucking their children into bed because all three had day jobs and family responsibilities. The original goal was to make product for distribution, but it didn't take long for sights to be set on something bigger. Focus shifted to creating a cocktail room, something that hadn't been done before in St. Chris, Brian, and Kyle worked closely with the St. Louis Park mayor and city council to get zoning and licensing approval. They invested in industrial stills and cocktail room construction. Kyle resigned from his day job to take on the work of creating a distillery full time. Our cocktail room is now open for your enjoyment, so stop in and become a part of our story.

Probably the most unsung hero on our menu is our barrel-aged Negroni. It’s one of those drinks people have had at a bar where the bartender bastardized it with Campari, and you were scarred for life.

I know we all carry scars from that day, a moment we wish we could forget.

Not this one. It’s a balance of our bangarang gin and our house-made bitter orange, also known as our Arancimaro. Plus, we put it in a barrel and let it chill out for a little while, so it gives you that chill sipping vibe.

In case you’re hesitant, we have our Spaghetti Policy. Negroni goes very well with our SLP 75, in case you’re proceeding with caution.

We encourage you to try both while bringing your own bag of spaghetti during your next visit. Charlie Day would be proud.

Did you know Copperwing is launching weekly Trivia Nights this week? On Wednesday, November 4th, we’ll be busting the brains of our bar patrons while having a few laughs along the way. Hosted by our longtime bartender and self-proclaimed loudmouth, Travis. Come enjoy our all-night Happy Hour along with a few questions, such as: how does the flux capacitor work? We don’t know how it works either.

Welcome to Distillers Digest, Edition 6: Stop Advertising Christmas

Merry Christmas, but not really. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Around the city, Christmas advertising is among us, and we’re still watching slasher movies. When did it become okay to start Christmas before Halloween? Even our distillery is guilty, and it keeps a Christmas tree up year-round, because once we put it up, we realized it’s very hard to take down.

Nonetheless, spread the bloody joy of whatever season you’re in. I know this is a byproduct of consumerism, but can we please wait until the current holiday has at least passed? Let the ghouls finish their candy before Santa clocks in.

This is Distillers Digest our new weekly series where we take whatever's rattling around in our brains and turn it into something (hopefully) funny. Mispronunciations, myths, weird bar questions, the works.

Got a topic you want us to tackle next? Drop it below. We promise to handle it with the same level of respect we just gave Christmas.

It’s spooky season! 🎃

Our Cranberry Solstice is probably the scariest thing on our menu, and it’s not because of the pumpkins or our carved pepper. (What do you call a carved pepper? A pepper-lantern?)

Anyway, come drink the metaphorical blood juice of witches as the days get shorter and we move into the dark world.

We don’t go too big for Halloween, even though we’ve had chicken bartenders in the past, but we still love to see costumes and serve you bloody-looking nectar.

Welp! Mother Nature’s on a bender, so all my posts about the weather getting colder are void for the next couple days.

It’s gin and tonic season, and we’re serving it Spanish style: in a big cup. Try it once and you’ll never go back. It’s officially called a copa de balón (Spanish for balloon glass), but you get the point.

We’ve got the finest gin and tonic, with all the raw ingredients to match the weather, until Mother Nature sobers up.

Drink a glittery beverage amongst our gourds! It’s still harvest season, and our Harvest 75 has you covered for all your harvest tastes. It features a refreshing apple shrub that will have your taste buds begging for this year-round. Did I mention it comes with glitter? I was told to lead with that, and I did. Not only is it eye candy, it tastes like it too.

Don’t forget: Wednesday is Happy Hour all night, and we’re launching Trivia at 7:30 on November 4th. All-night Happy Hour AND Trivia? I might as well be in a used car salesman commercial. For such a deal, I don’t know how we stay in business.

Plus, it’s hosted by our very own LLM (local loud mouth), Travis. In case you miss him bartending for you, come see his overly dry sense of humor behind the mic.

Welcome to Distillers Digest, Edition 5: Maraschino Cherries Are Plastic

Let’s talk cherries. America has been force-feeding us these our whole lives. The maraschino cherry was supposed to be the gold standard of fruit: a bright, sugary little bomb of joy that makes every Mai Tai and Shirley Temple look exotic.

Then you learn what happens to them before they reach your glass. They’re brined and bleached until every trace of natural color and flavor is gone, then pumped full of sugar and dyed with FD&C Red 40. Add a splash of bitter almond oil, bury them in syrup, and you get candy that has never met a real cherry.

Because nothing says “craft cocktail” like a credit-card-textured nugget swimming in almond oil. And we’ve been eating them for decades.

We serve Luxardo cherries. Word on the street is they cost 20x more than those plastic marbles, and one bite shows why. They taste like actual fruit, not the memory of sucking on a Hot Wheels car when you were five.

This is Distillers Digest our new weekly series where we take whatever's rattling around in our brains and turn it into something (hopefully) funny. Mispronunciations, myths, weird bar questions, the works.

Got a topic you want us to tackle next? Drop it below. We promise to handle it with the same level of respect we just gave Maraschino Cherries!

Brrrr... it’s been cold out, bring the dark stuff out.

This is the time of year your bartender starts steering you toward something a little different. Ask what’s good on the menu and the answer is always weather dependent.

Expect more bourbon and dark liquor suggestions as the days get shorter and the temps drop. Why does it taste better? Couldn’t tell ya, but it does. (Ask me about gin in the summer. It just slaps differently.)

Anywho, pictured is the Black Forest Manhattan, a top contender for tastiest Manhattan in the city. With a touch of cherry, cacao bitters, and a bourbon-blended base, it’s the smooth, well-balanced beverage everyone needs as the season changes.

The only guarantees this time of year: death, taxes, and more Manhattans.
