Maple Grove bar busted for selling Wisconsin beer

In an unusual beer bust, state investigators recently spotted a Maple Grove bar illegally tapping a popular Wisconsin beer after a border run to get it.

Undercover officers busted Maple Tavern for selling New Glarus Spotted Cow, a farmhouse ale that can only be sold in Wisconsin — a felony criminal offense.

In a search warrant filed in Hennepin County, the state Department of Public Safety said it was tipped off to the alcohol-related crime by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, which was notified by an anonymous complaint. According to the search warrant, Maple Tavern’s manager made beer runs to get six Spotted Cow kegs for retail sale from a liquor store in Hudson, Wis., from Feb. 20 to April 4.
