Ryan Anderson (that's me!) is the editor & founder of MNBeer. Much has changed since the fall of 2005 and I'm proud to have been a part of it all. Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Arborfest Friday! Tickets available at the door!

So it’s probably no secret that I’m a fan of Arborfest. It’s a fun, intimate beer (and now wine) event that takes place every Spring in support of Family Tree Clinic of St. Paul, whose mission is to cultivate a healthy community through comprehensive sexual health care & education. It’s my trifecta – good people, good beer, good cause. Head on over to St. Paul on Friday and join me and the MNBeer crew and a ton of your other friends.

Other good stuff: Drinking Song & Shanties by The Eddies, rides on the PedalPub, Bag Pipes, food, DJ Double Trouble and perhaps a beer or wine or four:

* August Schell Brewing Co.
* Barley John’s Brew Pub
* Bell’s Brewing Co.
* Boulevard Brewing Co.
* Carlos Creek Winery
