On Saturday, April 4th, 2009, the Superior Jaycees will be hosting the 12th annual Gitchee Gumee Brewfest. Now now, keep down the yelling. I know this isn’t a MN craft beer event in the strictest sense. But c’mon. It’s a stone’s throw from Duluth. Plus many MN breweries attend the event. In 2008 Schell’s, Flat Earth, Gluek, Lake Superior, Mantorville/St. Croix, Rock Bottom, Summit, and Surly…at least according to the site. My actually memory of the 2008 event is, understandably, a bit fuzzy. I seem to recall that not all of these folks were actually there. Whatever. It’s a beer event. What more do you need to know? Tickets can be purchased from several outlets in the Duluth/Superior area, otherwise you need to mail in your request. My wife, I and our friends have not had a problem getting tickets in the past.
