The good folks at have posted on an event on their site, Microbrew Mania. Here is some info:
The Water Street Inn is hosting it’s first Microbrew Mania event in the ballroom. Come and taste seven different tap beers including microbrewed, craft and imported brews. With admission you can sample to your heart’s content and listen to live Irish music. Band will be Paul and Lorraine. Charlie’s Irish Pub will have it’s full line up of Irish whiskeys, tap beers and other spirits available for separate purchase in the foyer outside of the ballroom.
We will be on hand with a specialty cask. Local beer distributors will be there to talk about their offerings. The Water Street Inn’s full line up of Appetizers will be available for purchase as well that evening.

Mark your calendars now. Set an alarm on your cell phone. Cross your fingers. Click your heels together. Whatever it takes. If you want to attend this year’s Winterfest, you’ll have to fire up your computers and be online and ready to order by NOON on Monday, December 15th. This event will sell out and it’ll sell out quickly. Don’t miss out! There are only 700 tickets, so if you don’t get one, Monday, you’re probably outta’ luck. If I were to suggest one craft beer event in Minnesota, this would be the one.
