Five Central Minnesota breweries are teaming up for a joint fundraiser on Saturday, February 20 to donate $1 from the sale of every beer sold in the taproom.
With the Minnesota State Fair not happening this year, something else is also not happening: a lot of craft beer from great Minnesota craft brewers isn't going to be consumed.
It was a toast to end the summer as beer lovers raised their glasses for the America on Tap beer festival this (Saturday) afternoon. Over 100 different craft beers were available to sample at the Benton County Fairgrounds, included some fan favorites and new varieties.
The popularity of craft beer is increasing nationwide and bars in the St. Cloud area are embracing the movement. Sales of craft beer nearly doubled in the past five years, increasing from $5.7 billion in 2007 to $12 billion in 2012.
