Plans Underway for Winter Beer Fest #2

3680923

There’s something about standing in the center of town in mid-winter, bundled up against whatever Mother Nature wants to throw your way, with a pretzel necklace and a great craft brew that seriously gets the engines running for craft beer lovers. How else would you explain Michigan’s great winter beer escapes that happen with increasing regularity. One of them is once again slated to come our way in Michigan’s Great Southwest next month with the return of the Winter Beer Fest presented by The Buck Burgers and Brew and hosted by St. Joseph Today.

On January 28th, St. Joseph Today is inviting everyone 21 years and older to roll out of winter hibernation and meet friends at a super lakeside destination during the second annual outdoor Winter Beer Fest presented by The Buck Burgers and Brew. The event takes place from noon to 4pm that day, at the corner of Broad Street and Lake Boulevard in downtown St. Joe.

Ken Kozminski is owner & operator of The Buck Burgers and Brew. He says, “Southwest Michigan is a four-season craft brew destination and we are more than excited to launch our second event. January in Michigan, a perfect time to celebrate the craft brew industry. We have a great mix of both regional and local brewers (15) bringing some outstanding specialty brews to this event. Expect to sample some of the best beers ever brewed and some never brewed before.”

Tickets are limited with only 750 available. They are $35 in advance and go on sale at 10am on January 2nd. Ticket price includes: admission, tasting cup, 12 tokens (one token per sample), live music courtesy of the Rain Dogs, and winter cameraderie. Festival attendees can order tickets online at www.themendelcenter.com or purchase them at the St. Joseph Today Welcome Center, located at 301 State Street, downtown.
