Each fall, thousands of craft beer lovers gather at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis for Autumn Brew Review, Minnesota’s longest-running beer festival. Described as “fall fun for adults,” attendees of the afternoon festival can enjoy live music, games, and bonfires in the golden-hour light as they sample unlimited craft beer from over 90 Minnesota breweries and brewpubs.
This year, on October 14, the festival will feature a live music stage to highlight local bands Grunge Unplugged and Pleezer. There will also be a new designated area for lawn games along the Mississippi River waterfront.

Autumn Brew Review is put on by the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild, a not-for-profit organization made up of brewery and brewpub members. Like other MNCBG festivals, ABR exclusively showcases Minnesota breweries and brewpubs, often with owners or brewers present. At the festival, breweries will be grouped by region, so fans can more easily explore the variety and quality of craft beer that our state offers. Whether discovering new favorites or enjoying old ones, craft beer fans are able to enjoy fresh Minnesota beer, poured by the people who brew it.
