As owners of a small business ourselves, we love supporting locally owned small businesses. So, when a friend told us about a unique small business in Northeast Minneapolis - Ombibulous, we had to pay them a visit!
First and foremost, what does Ombibulous mean? It means - Drinking everything. One who enjoys beverages of all sorts. If you haven't guessed yet, Ombibulous is a liquor store. However, it's not just any liquor store. These small business owners set out to stock only Minnesota-made products. And it's the only store of its kind - How cool!
You'll find Minnesota-made craft beers, wines and liquor. Don't drink alcohol? Thats ok! The store also stocks Minnesota-made non-alcoholic beverages like seltzers, sodas, CBD water, Hop-waters, mixers and more. In their words, "If you enter our store, we promise you will find a local-something you'll like, with alcohol or not!"
Mark purchased an Ombi-pack, a six-pack he handpicked to get $1 off! I was drawn to the Chai White Russian Cocktail in a bottle and the Norsman Vodka. They also stock a Fresh-frozen cocktail mix from Summer Lakes Beverage Co. that we had purchased in November at the Minneapolis Gift and Art Expo - This stuff is fantastic as a cocktail or mocktail!! And it's all made right here in our state!!
Let's get loco - If you like to support local makers and small business like us stop by Ombibulous in Northeast Minneapolis and see what you can find! Also, keep an eye on their calendar for upcoming pop-ups, tastings, markets, and collaborations at the store.
