On October 16, 2021, craft beer fans can celebrate the season with unlimited samples of Minnesota-made beer, cider, and more at Autumn Brew Review beer festival. The festival will feature special seasonal releases and classic favorites, non-alcoholic and gluten free options, food trucks, music, games, and more!
Autumn Brew Review is hosted by the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild (MNCBG), the state’s nonprofit association for craft breweries and brewpubs. Like other MNCBG festivals, Autumn Brew Review will exclusively showcase the local talent of Minnesota’s breweries, brewpubs, and cideries. “We hear from attendees all the time that they love how they actually get to talk with the head brewers and owners of Minnesota’s breweries at our festivals. Our fests are a great way for craft beer fans to connect in a new way with some of their favorite local businesses, and discover new places they haven’t been able to try yet,” said Lauren Bennett McGinty, Executive Director of the MNCBG.

The MNCBG is taking new precautions for the upcoming festival; proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for all attendees, workers, and volunteers.The nonprofit will also be releasing tickets in stages, and, in the unlikely case of a full cancellation due to COVID, will offer refunds to ticket holders.
“The health and wellness of craft beer employees and customers is extremely important to the Guild, and so is continuing to host the festivals that energize and connect the craft beer community. As COVID continues to be a concern throughout the state, we felt it was our responsibility to do what we could to support community and industry safety at ABR,” says Bennett McGinty. “We know not everyone will be happy with the vaccine requirement, but our goal is to limit the potential negative impact our festival could have on community health, and allow people to be more confident in working, attending, and volunteering at ABR.”
