NO STIPENDS FOR 2023

Like last year, the Guild is not able to offer participation stipends at our festivals this year. We appreciate your support as we try to make up significant revenue losses from 2020/2021 and ensure the Guild can continue our work to protect, promote, and grow the MN craft beer industry.

Creative Booth Spaces - UPDATED for 2023

Creative Booth Spaces are 20x20 booths with special themes or activities. A limited number of breweries/brewpubs can have a creative booth space rather than a regular booth space.

The Guild is reserving 5 spots for Creative Booth Spaces. One of these spaces will be awarded to the winners of last year's Best Booth award. The remaining 4 booths will be chosen by the Guild based on creativity, detail, and anticipated level of fun for attendees. The best two ideas will also receive a small stipend ($200). The other two will be granted a space, but no stipend. Creative Booth spaces can no longer be purchased.

For all 5 Creative Booth Spaces:
- The Guild will allocate a 20x20 area to set up.
- The brewery/brewpub must provide their own tents, materials, etc.
- Each brewery/brewpub will receive 6 APN tickets for Creative Booth staff (rather than the 4 allocated to regular booths).
If you would like to do a creative booth, you must submit your booth idea either on this form or via email by Friday, May 12. All creative booths must be reviewed and approved by Guild staff. If you have questions about your idea, please email us.
Would you like to submit a Creative Booth idea?*

Yes, and I will enter our idea below.Yes, and I will email our idea to info@mncraftbrew.org before Friday, May 12.No, I'll just take a standard 10x10 booth space.

NEW for 2023: Additional Marketing Opportunities

Based on feedback from members and attendees, we are considering offering two additional marketing opportunities for breweries and brewpubs.

Educational Sessions for Attendees

Many attendees love MNCBG events because they get to talk about the craft of beer with owners, brewers, and beertenders. We would love to offer those attendees another way to experience the industry through informative sessions during the festival. We last offered this in 2019, and we are excited to provide this opportunity again.

Shuttle Bus Sponsorships

Because the majority of APN attendees come from outside Duluth and hotels will be a significant challenge this year, the Guild is exploring using shuttle buses to help attendees get to and from APN for the day. We will be seeking businesses to sponsor each bus and provide a tour guide to facilitate the loading/unloading process for attendees.

--

This question is to see if you are interested in either option; if you select one, we will send you more information and work with you on details. Selecting that you are interested on this form is not an official committment.
Would your brewery be interested in leading an education session or sponsoring a shuttle bus?*

We are interested in leading an educational session for attendees during the fest.We are interested in sponsoring a shuttle bus and providing a tour guide to facilitate loading/unloading of attendees.We are interested in both opportunities.No - we do not have the interest or capacity for either.
