Order Hard Seltzer - Twin Cities, MN - Counselor Realty

Hard seltzer—made with a combination of carbonated water, alcohol, and often some type of fruit flavoring—is a deliciously refreshing drink that's enjoyable any time of the year. The following are destinations near Minneapolis homes for sale and St. Paul homes for sale that are worth a visit to order a hard seltzer.

  • Fulton Brewing - 414 6th Ave. N., Minneapolis, MN 55401
    Since founding Fulton Brewing in 2009, its owners have experienced phenomenal growth as their popularity has grown. The brewery produces eight different hard seltzer varieties that have proven to be customer favorites, including lemonade, berry, hops, grapefruit, blood orange, and lemon-lime seltzers. A new edition to their hard seltzer lineup is Strawberry Rhubarb, which the owners say is their most Minnesota flavor to date. It has lots of flavor and a pink hue, and like the brewery's other hard seltzers, it's light and effervescent.

Ice Skating Around the Twin Cities - Counselor Realty

With over 14,380 lakes, it's no surprise ice sports have become quite a tradition around Minnesota. Ice skating is a fun way to exercise during the wintertime. Whether you play hockey, figure skate, or simply like to skate around, there are so many great rinks around the Twin Cities. Many of them are outdoors too, so it's easy to get some fresh air.

  • Parade Ice Garden - 600 Kenwood Pkwy., Minneapolis, MN 55403

Open skating takes place most weekday afternoons, but the rink also hosts adult open hockey and figure skating pro ice as well. There are often many events to watch on the weekends.
