Sponsorship
The 9th annual St. Paul Summer Beer Fest will be held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds on June 10th, 2017 from 2-5pm (VIP 1-5pm). This outdoor festival will showcase the offerings of craft breweries here in Minnesota, as well as all over the United States. Attendees going to the expo will have the opportunity to sample beers from over 100 different craft breweries in a commemorative sampling glass. They will also enjoy the live music, education seminars, food and beautiful Minnesota in the Summer. Brewery and distributor representatives will be on hand to converse with attendees and engage in answering their questions to further the educational experience and in learning about beer and its components and flavors.
The St. Paul Summer Beer Fest is much more than beer! Our Education Tent will host educational seminars throughout the day covering subjects such as Food Pairing, Homebrewing, and the History of Brewing in Minnesota. Food vendors will be offering tasty treats to pair with beer and live music acts will perform throughout the fest.
All Chop Liver Craft Beer Festivals have a different charity associated with each event in an effort to give back and further support the specific community. With the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest we have worked with the amazing people at the YMCA of Midway in St Paul. We contribute a portion of proceeds to them and in addition, all proceeds from the Silent Auction Tent benefit the YMCA of Midway.
The St. Paul Summer Beer Fest is expected to have an attendance of 4000 people with a demographic of 65/35 male to female ratio, 30-55 year old age range with an average household income of $100,000.
The St. Paul Summer Beer Fest is organized by Chop Liver Craft Beer Festivals Inc, who for the past 8 years have put on successful and sell-out events like the Northern Lights Rare Beer Fest, Mankato Craft Beer Expo, Rochester Craft Beer Expo and Sioux Falls Craft Beer Expo.
