Two of the Guild’s signature member events will take place on Thursday, April 20, 2023, at Union Depot—St. Paul!

For the first time, the MN Brewers Conference (daytime) will be held the same day as the MN Brewers Cup Awards Ceremony (evening). Both experiences offer unique programming and a chance for us to gather, celebrate, and learn from our robust Minnesota craft brewing industry peers.

You can choose to participate in one or both of these opportunities; you do not need to participate in one to attend the other. 21+ photo ID required for all attendees. By purchasing tickets, you agree to the MNCBG event terms & conditions and Code of Conduct. The MNCBG does not allow ticket refunds or exchanges.
