IMPORTANT DETAILS
- This is a member-only opportunity. All member breweries and brewpubs are eligible to participate.
- Keg Delivery Window: August 15 and 16 (you must be able to deliver your beers to the fairgrounds during this period)
- Fair Dates: August 22 - September 2
New This Year: NA Flights!
This year, we are adding a flight of NA craft - beer, seltzer, sodas, etc. - to showcase the variety of your products to the NA Fair crowd!
QUANTITIES:
All members who register are guaranteed to have at least one keg purchased and poured during the Fair! There is no keg minimum!
Please only submit the number of kegs you can guarantee! The amount of beer purchased is subject to change based on need throughout the Fair. Depending on Fair attendance, you may be asked to bring additional beer during the fair.
BEER SELECTION:
Price will be a consideration; please make every effort to submit beers under $250 /keg, and provide discount pricing if you are able. If you are providing a speciality beer to the fair at another exhibit, we encourage you to submit your flagship beers for our exhibit. Beers with offensive names and nitros/beers with nonstandard dispensing requirements will not be ordered.
PURCHASE, DISTRIBUTION, DELIVERY:
Lancer Hospitality Group will purchase the beer directly from the distributors, self-distributing craft breweries, and brewpubs. We have a special carve-out in MN law to allow member brewpubs to sell their beer for our exhibit at the fair. After final selections are made, Lancer will contact the designated distribution contact regarding delivery procedures. Kegs must be dropped off at our exhibit in the window designated by Lancer; empties must be picked up after the Fair.
OUR EXHIBIT:
Our exhibit in the Agriculture/Horticulture building features flights of beer in the following flavor categories: Crisp and Clean, Dark and Roasty, Fruity, Spicy, Tart and Funky, Hoppy and Bitter, Malty and Sweet, and our new NA flight! The exhibit also features member maps, education, and presentations highlighting the industry.
