Congrats to Juno for submitting the favored toast for Minnesota Craft Beer Week:
O’ beer, craft beer
to my heart so dear
raise a glass and cheer
to Minnesota beer.

Twin Cities Business has a rundown of production of breweries and brewpubs in Minnesota. Interesting stuff.
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
* Cold Spring Brewing Co.
* Crispin
* Finnegans
* Fitger’s Brewhouse
* Flat Earth Brewing Co.
* Great Waters Brewing Co.
* Lake Superior Brewing

Rob from Showcase MN is a homebrewer and beer fan as well, FYI.
