The Green Standard Is Expanding Across Minnesota

May 2, 2026

The Green Standard by Canna Connect and Earl Giles

There’s something easy about the first sip.

Maybe it’s the citrus. Maybe it’s the light, familiar lift. Or maybe it just feels like something that fits naturally into a Minnesota spring turning into summer.

However you experience it, The Green Standard is beginning to find its place on shelves and menus across Minnesota, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support we've received so far.

Available Now at Earl Giles

The Green Standard on Earl Giles Spring Menu

Right now, you can find The Green Standard on the spring menu at Earl Giles.

This collaboration means a lot to us. Earl Giles has always been intentional about creating a space where quality, curiosity, and community come together, and we're proud to have this beverage included in that experience.

If you stop in, you'll find a few ways to enjoy it:

  • $9 Single Can

  • $20 Four Pack

  • $110 Full Case

Whether you're simply curious or already know it's your kind of drink, there's an option that fits.

Now Available at Select Minnesota Retailers

Over the past several weeks, The Green Standard has quietly begun making its way into retailers and dispensaries throughout Minnesota.

Current retail partners include:

  • Trailhead Cannabis Company – Brainerd

  • Higher Place – Chaska

  • Silver Therapeutics – Stillwater

  • High Fidelity Cannabis Co. – Luverne

  • MN THC Co. – Lakeville

  • MN THC Co. – Dundas

  • Grazzhopper – Big Lake

  • Scandia Olde Towne Liquor – Scandia

Each of these businesses serves a unique community, and we're honored they've chosen to carry The Green Standard.

Built for Community

From the beginning, this project wasn't about becoming another beverage brand.

It was about creating something that feels at home in Minnesota's emerging cannabis culture. Something that can be enjoyed at a backyard gathering, a community event, after a long week, or while connecting with friends.

That's why we're focused on partnering with retailers, dispensaries, restaurants, and hospitality groups that care about the customer experience and the communities they serve.

What's Next

We're continuing conversations with additional dispensaries, liquor stores, hospitality groups, and specialty retailers across the state.

As new partners come online, we'll continue updating our retail footprint and making it easier for Minnesotans to find The Green Standard closer to home.

If you're a retailer interested in carrying The Green Standard, or if there's a shop you'd like to see it stocked in, we'd love to hear from you.

Stay Connected

If you discover The Green Standard somewhere new, let us know.

Tag us on social media, bring it to the next Canna Connect gathering, or share it with a friend.

This brand is being built one relationship at a time, and we're grateful to everyone helping make that happen.
