Is a new Prohibition coming to the Northland? 🍺🚫 On November 12th, a new federal ban could change the Minnesota craft beverage scene forever. We visited Bent Paddle Brewing Co. to see how they produce their popular THC drinks and learned that this single amendment could put 40% of their revenue and local jobs at risk.

From the science of hemp-infusion to the secret history of Duluth’s underground speakeasies, we’re diving deep into the "Minnesota Model" of regulation vs. a total federal ban.

Watch the full episode of In Business "The New Prohibition? H**p, History, and the Northland" now on YouTube, PBS North or the PBS app.
