Target tests THC drink sales in Minneapolis

Target has begun selling hemp-derived THC beverages at a handful of Minneapolis stores as of Oct. 10, 2025, in a test to gauge consumer interest, according to Bloomberg and local confirmations. The products include Minnesota brands Trail Magic and Surly Brewing; buyers must be 21+ and drinks are capped at 5 mg THC per serving. The rollout comes as the state’s Office of Cannabis Management opens licensing for low‑potency hemp edibles through Oct. 31 ahead of tighter rules starting in January.
