Win a Pair of St. Paul Summer Beer Fest Tickets from MNBeer

By on March 16, 2010in breweries, brewpubs

First and foremost… you can buy ticket to the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest on Sunday, March 21st at noon. I went with a couple of friends last year and we all had an absolute blast. Juno, Mark and everyone else involved did a great job in putting the event together. In any case, since we love you so much, we’re giving away two pairs of ticket to the event this weekend.

“So how do I win these tickets?” you ask? Easy… assuming you can follow directions. Email your name and mailing address to ryan AT mnbeer.com with the subject line “I love you and you are awesome. Please hook me up.” Winners will be drawn at random on Saturday. Please limit entries to one per person. That’s it.

Thanks in advanced for the ego boost! Ha!
