Thirsty yet? Given the number of summer beer fests this year, you really don’t have an excuse not to go to one, two or five… Border Battle Beer Fest is a two-day event in Somerset, Wisconsin that promises something for everyone, including whiskey, wings, beer, live music and camping. I’m hoping it’s nothing short of awesome.
The beer fest portion of the event is on Saturday, July 14th from 3-7pm. Over 100 Minnesota & Wisconsin beers are pitted against one another in a knock-down, drag-out beer battle (or something like that) with “celebrity judges” picking the winners. Music follows. Tickets are $30 advanced/$40 at the door.
Whiskey & wings? Why not? On Friday, July 13th from 6-8pm the event will feature a sampling of 20 different single malt, blended and designer whiskeys with wings available for purchase & pairing. $20 advaned/$30 at the door.
If you’d like to make a weekend of it, camping is available for the weekend in several different packages. You’ll be on the Apple River, so tubing might be a nice daytime option as well.
Visit the Boarder Battle website for tickets and complete information.
Here’s another new brewfest, thirsty beer fans. The Monticello Lions are putting on their first fest on August 18th at Westbridge park in Monticello. Advanced tickets are $25, and day-of tickets available for $35. Breweries represented at the fest will include Purity, Schell’s, Bell’s, Boulevard, Cold Spring, Finnegans, House of Shandy, Fullers, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr, Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams and others. Terri Traen from KQRS will be appearing at the event and music will be provided by Blue Hazard Band. Food vendors include Von Hanson’s Meat Markets, The Station, River City Extreme, Primo Pizza, Cornerstone Catering & Buffalo Wild Wings.
Did you miss Badger Hill at the Beer Dabbler at Pride over the weekend? Did you miss the Beer Dabbler all together? Do not worry! Now you can try Badger Hill’s beer at their launch party, this Thursday at Senor Wong in downtown St Paul! Of course, their flagship brew the MSB will be on tap and if you’re one of the first 100 guests, you’ll get it fo’ free! From 5-8pm, come and enjoy libations from one of the Twin Cities newest breweries; you might just win some free swag or gift cards from Senor Wong! And who doesn’t like Senor Wong’s dumplings (among other things)?
