What Manjit is known for

Manjit Minhas made her money in beer and spirits. At 19, while studying petroleum engineering at the University of Calgary, she sold her car and used the roughly $10,000 to start in the alcohol business with her brother Ravinder. Minhas Breweries, Distilleries and Wineries has since grown into one of North America's largest independent liquor companies, with more than 90 brands sold across Canada, the United States and overseas, and a historic brewery in Monroe, Wisconsin. She also sits on corporate boards and co-owns the Edmonton Stingers basketball team.
