Beer Dabbler founder opens a liquor store in St. Paul

The creator of The Beer Dabbler Festival, has opened the Dabbler Depot on West Seventh in St. Paul. It’s in the former Stransky’s Liquor location. The building underwent a major renovation to become the Dabbler Depot. It boasts a living wall that’s watered with the condensation from the beer coolers that stretch the length of the building. There’s a tap wall for sampling and a video production studio in back. The idea is to create videos about the products that can be accessed through QR Codes, but they’ll also host podcasts. On the other side of the glass wall is a coffee shop with locally made donuts and pies. The depot is open Tuesday through Sunday.
