FAQ
What do I get with my ticket?
A General Admission ticket will get you unlimited samples from 100+ MN Breweries, unlimited curated small-plate food, and a commemorative tasting glass. DD/Sober ticket holders will be able to enjoy the food and non-alcoholic beverages at the festival, but will not receive a tasting glass.
MNthusiasts with VIP tickets will be able to enter the fest and begin sampling 30 minutes early.
Why has the location changed from last year?
The MN Craft Brewers Guild is always growing! While we have outgrown our previous location, we are thrilled to announce that Winterfest 2020 will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium!
The Winterfest Guide will be added in January.
