winterfest_logo.jpgMark your calendars now. Set an alarm on your cell phone. Cross your fingers. Click your heels together. Whatever it takes. If you want to attend this year’s Winterfest, you’ll have to fire up your computers and be online and ready to order by NOON on Monday, December 15th. This event will sell out and it’ll sell out quickly. Don’t miss out! There are only 700 tickets, so if you don’t get one, Monday, you’re probably outta’ luck. If I were to suggest one craft beer event in Minnesota, this would be the one.

Winterfest takes place on Friday, February 6, 2009 from 7-10pm at Minnesota History Center, 345 W. Kellog Blvd. in St. Paul.

2009 Gitchee Gumee Brewfest

By on December 7, 2008in beer events

On Saturday, April 4th, 2009, the Superior Jaycees will be hosting the 12th annual Gitchee Gumee Brewfest.  Now now, keep down the yelling.  I know this isn’t a MN craft beer event in the strictest sense.  But c’mon.  It’s a stone’s throw from Duluth.  Plus many MN breweries attend the event.  In 2008 Schell’s, Flat Earth, Gluek, Lake Superior, Mantorville/St. Croix, Rock Bottom, Summit, and Surly…at least according to the site.  My actually memory of the 2008 event is, understandably, a bit fuzzy.  I seem to recall that not all of these folks were actually there.  Whatever.  It’s a beer event.  What more do you need to know?  Tickets can be purchased from several outlets in the Duluth/Superior area, otherwise you need to mail in your request.  My wife, I and our friends have not had a problem getting tickets in the past.
