Why was the fest canceled?

The MNCBG hosts four major public events each year through the hard work of our nonprofit staff of three, a small festival committee of brewery volunteers, and the help of ~200 public volunteers throughout the year. We pride ourselves on the quality of our events for craft brewery fans, volunteers, and the breweries that are featured.

At this time state and federal guidelines do not indicate that safe gatherings of thousands of people will be possible by October. Canceling the event now will allow the hundreds of businesses—breweries, vendors, sponsors, attendees, and others—to better prepare for the coming months with less uncertainty.

What if I have a ticket to ABR through the purchase of a 3/6 Pack?

If you purchased a 3/6 Packs that granted you access to ABR 2020, it will be honored for the 2021 fest. You do not need to take any action for this ticket transfer to take place. In the months prior to the festival, new tickets will be sent to you via email.

How will my 3/6 Pack tickets be transferred to the 2021 festival?

You do not have to take any action for your tickets to be transferred to ABR 2021. If you have a unique ticket type, that ticket type will maintain during the transfer (example: if you have purchased a MNthusiast VIP ticket, your 2021 ticket will be a MNthusiast VIP ticket, regardless of your 2021 MNthusiast status).

In summer of 2021, all ABR ticket holders will be emailed new tickets. If you have lost access to your email account during that time, we will be able to send tickets to a new email address.

I have another question.
