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.

Win Beer Dabbler Tickets

Wanna’ win a pair of tickets to the Beer Dabbler Showcase at the St. Paul Winter Carnival? Send us your best “winter beer photo by 3:00pm Friday, January 15th and we’ll pick a winner!

Rules? Sure. Send ONE photo to ryan AT mnbeer.com. One. Only one. Not two. Not four. Include your mailing address, so we know where to send the tickets. The winner will be announced after January 15th. We’ll pick the winning photo and share it on MNBeer.com.

Hints? Well the site is MNBeer.com… so the Corona you’re painfully sucking down in Jamaica in January probably won’t be our top pick. It’s Minnesota… we have a lot of great local breweries and brewpubs… be creative.

Photo/graphics savvy? Ideally, we’d love it if the photo were saved as a jpg 500 pixels wide and saved at 72 dpi. If not, we can deal.
