Surly Brewing hosts 4th annual Legacy Cup celebrating all things cannabis

MINNEAPOLIS — From THC pretzels and seltzers to customized glass pipes, the fourth annual Legacy Cup at Surly Brewing continues to develop as extra Minnesotans change into cannabis curious.

“We started it just on the CBD side of things to kind of get the ball rolling, and, you know, still celebrate our hemp farmers and our cool CBD topicals and tinctures,” Josh Wilken-Simon with Legacy Glassworks mentioned. “And then just every year as legislation changes can be more fun of an event.”

Thomas Thorpe is a Minnesota native hoping his small enterprise, Granny’s Edibles, can develop greater because the cannabis trade grows throughout the state.

“There’s a lot of changes of, you know, positions of committees that are being formed, and the rules haven’t been made yet,” Thorpe mentioned. “So a lot of us are kind of just sitting and waiting to see how things are going to fold out, knowing that there’s a lot of opportunity for local small businesses to be involved.”

As a result of legalization hasn’t been totally accomplished but, the car parking zone of the brewery could not flip right into a dispensary — at the least not fairly but. Attendees had been inspired to carry their very own weed from house to smoke and even share.

“We can have the public consumption of cannabis, so people can go in, we have the smoking lounge, and they’re able to smoke weed, smoke hash with their friends safely, responsibly, and together as a community,” Wilken-Smith mentioned.

“I don’t know if I ever or when I thought that Minnesota was going to be able to have the opportunity to do something like this. We’re open to the general public — 21 plus — having people being able to come to one place and consume cannabis, sample cannabis, promote their cannabis products,” Thorpe mentioned.

Organizers say greater than 6,000 individuals attended final yr’s Legacy Cup. This yr, ticket gross sales are pointing to a end up between 12,000-15,000.
