Wings & Brew Fest April 14th

Craft beer & wings? Twist my arm… On Saturday, April 14th, head to the National Guard Armory in Red Wing, MN for “Wings & Brew Fest,” a festival of… well… wings and beer. The event will feature beer from fifteen different breweries as well as wings from ten different restaurants. If wings aren’t your thing, there are beer-only tickets as well. Entry includes beer (and wings if you so choose), a commemorative glass and some sweet leather coasters from the Red Wing shoe company.

Three two-hour sessions (1:30pm-3:30pm, 4:00pm-6:00pm and 6:30pm-8:30pm). $35 (plus fees) for beer & wings, $30 for beer only. Sounds like fun!

Tickets go on sale this Saturday at 11am.

Rochester Craft Beer Expo

Just a quick reminder to buy your tickets for Rochester Craft Beer Expo now. You don’t want to miss this one, southern Minnesota! If you’re not familiar, this event is put on by the same fine folks who bring you the St. Cloud Craft Beer Expo and the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest and they do it up right… right?

Tickets are $30 in advance or $40 at the door, assuming any are left. As per usual, this event will include a ton of great local and out-of-state breweries, music, food, education and more craft beer nerds than you can shake a stick at!

Some of the MNBeer crew will be making the trip down… come and say hello at the event!
