Related: About this forumSpotted Cow beer sold illegally at bar in Maple Grove, Minn.
Ooops...MAPLE GROVE, Minn. (KMSP) - A popular bar in Maple Grove, Minn. was caught selling Spotted Cow beer on Monday, which is only legal in Wisconsin. All brews made by the New Glarus Brewing Company are only distributed in Wisconsin due to limited supply.
After receiving an anonymous tip, undercover police traveled to Maple Tavern where they were served a glass of the Wisconsin-only beer.
Investigators also saw images of a Spotted Cow tap handle on Maple Tavern's Facebook page, and advertising indicating that the beer was available.
Since New Glarus Brewing Company is not a licensed manufacturer of alcohol in Minnesota, there are no licensed Minnesota distributors who are authorized to legally distribute the beer to retail establishments.
