The Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild is excited and proud to bring the newest of its craft beer festivals to Duluth! The first annual All Pints North Summer Brew Fest will celebrate beer brewed in Minnesota by breweries and brew pubs in the Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild, plus a few select regional and national craft brands. Join us by the lake to meet the brewers and enjoy unlimited amazing Minnesota+ craft beer samples, hip food vendors, beer-centered activities and educational components, live music and entertainment, and much more!

The Minnesota Craft Brewer’s Guild is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 2000 to promote Minnesota breweries, create an open line of communication between brewers, and be an advocate for progressive beer laws in Minnesota. The Guild promotes Minnesota’s burgeoning brewing industry by sponsoring festivals and special events, including Autumn Brew Review and Winterfest, that showcase the talent of Minnesota’s craft brewers. These long-standing, professional and fun festivals typically sell out quickly, so the Guild is thrilled to bring the same energy and patron enthusiasm to Duluth with the new All Pints North Summer Brew Fest.

If you are planning on traveling to Duluth for the event, be sure to make lodging arrangements early, as rooms tend to fill up during the summer months in Duluth. There is some info on lodging on the festival website, including potential camping options.
