Where to Find Summit Beer at the Minnesota State Fair

Hi, Friends. We probably don’t need to tell you that the Minnesota State Fair starts today. That’s like telling you the sky is blue or beer is wet. There are things you, as a Minnesotan, just know.

What you may not know, however, is that there are nearly 20 different locations where you can find Summit beer on the fairgrounds (and that doesn’t include the beer you’re sneaking into the Fair inside the kid’s diaper bag). That said, it doesn’t matter if you’re at the Midway, the Haunted House, the Grandstand, or Bob’s Snake Zoo — Summit beer is nearby.

Rather than providing a very cute, illustrated, caricature-style map of the fairgrounds with little beer mugs marking the intersections where you can find our beer, though, we’re gonna give you a detailed list telling you where the beer is AND what’s being poured there.

You’re getting a list instead of a map because: A) Lists are super-informative! B) Those maps are hard to read, and they’re 100 percent useless once you hafta fight against the foot traffic of a million sweaty bodies all moving in seemingly random directions. C) The graphic designers are busy.

So here it is, The List of All the Summit Beers at The Fair:

• Shanghaied Henri’s and the Summit on a Stick Booth in the International Bazaar — Summit Extra Pale Ale, Saga IPA, Dakota Soul, Skip Rock, Oktoberfest, Oatmeal Stout, and our brand-new Helles Ya, You Betcha!, which you can’t find anywhere else.
