Daily Tours, Bottling parties, Daily venue rental. Norseman Distillery, the first micro-distillery in Minneapolis, was founded with principles of using the very best local ingredients to produce small batches of exceptionally fine spirits. From our micro-distillery in northeast Minneapolis, we hand craft each batch with the hopes of inspiring legendary cheer in those who drink it.

WHO WE ARE Our brand represents innovation, creativity, and yet historical simplicity. The Dampfwerk is a family distillery located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota and our goal is simple: produce outstanding spirits to be enjoyed in the company of friends and family. It starts with a name: Dampfwerk. Like most things we do it is not the easiest name to pronounce but it goes to the essence of our process. “Steam works” is the translated version and it is essential to the distillation process to produce our premium spirits. But we are not just a name; we are a global family that enjoys the simplicity of a good meal and spirits. To create these spirits, we have imported a hand-hammered copper still, originating from the Schwarzwald in Bavaria. Like the farmers in Bavaria, we pride ourselves in building relationships with local orchards and suppliers to produce the best spirit possible under exacting conditions.
