Roseville Mayor
DAN ROE
................................................................. IN YOUR OPINION WHAT MAKES ROSEVILLE SO SPECIAL? Roseville is a special place not just because we are close to all of the great cultural, sporting, and entertainment opportunities in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, but more importantly because of our residents who care about each other and the community, and are committed to making Roseville the best place it can be. That community spirit is on display every June during Rosefest, featuring a car show, great musical performances, a first-class parade, all topped off by a fantastic July 4th fireworks display in Central Park. Just down the street from Roseville in late August is “The Great Minnesota Get-Together” - Minnesota’s State Fair, offering the best of Minnesota food, culture, and entertainment in one place. WHAT’S ARE SOME DON’T MISS IDEAS FOR VISITORS? Visitors should not miss the opportunity to explore the growing variety of dining options at Rosedale Center, especially Revolution Hall, and Har Mar Mall as well as on neighborhood corners throughout the city. Plus retail options have increased with the opening of Von Maur and Rose & Loon. WHAT’S YOUR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY IN CITY? I love to explore Reservoir Woods Park in all seasons, on foot or on cross-country skis. It is like a piece of the north woods plopped down in the city, providing natural tranquility and opportunities to see wildlife. FAVORITE BREWSTILLERY? Whenever I can, I stop by Roseville’s Bent Brewstillery - a unique combination of micro-brewery and micro-distillery to see what is brewing and catch up with friends.

BENT BREWSTILLERY Founded in 2012, Bent Brewstillery is the first combination brewery and distillery in the state of Minnesota. Our mission is to bring great adult beverages to the public and more diverse offerings to those tired of the same old thing. We do this by taking everyday style guidelines and “bending” them into a new flavor or style completely. In addition, we bring to spirits what craft brought to beer: the highest quality ingredients and the utmost care in preparation. Quality over quantity is the craft brewer’s credo, and Bent Brewstillery extends that from beer to spirits.
ASK YOUR HOTEL STAFF FOR A 2-FOR-1 CARD FOR THE TAPROOM. 1744 Terrace Drive, Roseville, MN 55113 (844) 879-2368 | bentbewstillery.com Please note that in order to comply with Minnesota law, Bent does not serve spirits on site. Beer and non-alcoholic options are available for consumption at the taproom. Bottled spirits are available for purchase to take home.
