A new alcohol-free option has arrived in Walker for those looking to sip something special without the buzz. Zero Proof Bottle Shop, owned by Catherine and Lowell Hanson, offers a curated selection of non-alcoholic wine, spirits, beer, mocktails and more, so you can “Sip without the sacrifice.” The Hansons, who moved to the area full time in 2019 after decades of visiting from the Twin Cities, opened the store on May 23 after years of piecing together her favorite alcohol-free finds from different shops and wishing for a one-stop option. A grand opening celebration is set for June 28. Zero Proof is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week at 416 Minnesota Ave. W, Walker. Don’t be a stranger! Photo by Dave DeLost.
