Dubbed as “one of the hippest and hoppiest celebrations in Minnesota,” Blues & Brews will host seven of the area’s best breweries: Big Wood, Excelsior, Fulton, Lift Bridge, Summit Brewing, Rock Bottom, and Rush River. Beer will be paired with delicious appetizers prepared by local chefs. Favorite local bands Cadillac Kolstad and the Harrison Street Band will provide music throughout the evening.

Craft beer enthusiasts will be excited to learn that nationally ranked beer judge and expert Gera Exire LaTour will lead interactive beer sessions throughout the night. Guests also can check out the Marco V cigar station; test their skills at a hammerschlagen activity; participate in a silent auction; and fill their event passports with stamps to qualify for great raffle prizes.

This event, hosted by Canvas Health, will raise money for youth in crisis in the Twin Cities area.
