Unlimited beer samples await revelers when the Autumn Brew Review returns this fall

The State Fair isn't the only place where Minnesotans can sip one-of-a-kind beers from in-state breweries.

The Autumn Brew Review, Minnesota's oldest craft beer festival, returns Oct. 12 at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis .

The fest brings together more than 80 breweries, offering attendees unlimited samples of the wares, including newly released beers that won't be found anywhere else.

Collaboration is the theme of this year's get-together, with breweries working together on new drinks for the event. That'll include Minnesota-based brewers working across state lines with other breweries and industry groups for unique takes on classic styles.

“Twenty years ago, Autumn Brew Review was the festival for debuting new fall and winter beers in Minnesota," Jess Talley, Executive Director of the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild, says. "This year, we wanted to pay homage to that history, but with a twist of featuring brand new collaboration brews that fans haven’t seen anywhere else yet."

As with other brewing festivals, there will be more than beer hitting sampling cups. Imbibers will also find cider, seltzers, non-alcoholic options, and THC drinks. There will also be live music, food trucks, vendors, artists, a petting zoo, and an inflatable obstacle course.

The Autumn Brew Review takes place Oct. 12 from 1:30 to 5 p.m. General admission tickets cost $69.06. In addition to the standard tickets, VIP tickets offer early entry, giving attendees an extra 30 minutes to stroll the grounds and grab samples before the lines start to form. There's also an NA (non-altering) ticketing option, which offers access to any non-alcoholic and non-THC drinks.
