Arborfest is just around the corner (May 4th).  This event is a great time with great beer.  Another plus is that you can deduct $30 off the ticket price on your taxes (so I hear) as a portion of the ticket price goes to a charitable cause, The Family Tree Clinic!  On the downside they're advertising it on some local drunk college kid sites with a heading of "All-U-Can-Drink Beer Festival" so it could turn into a college frat boy fest real quick if we don't snatch up the tickets first.  Lots of great breweries will be there this year:

- August Schell Brewing Co.
- Barley John's Brew Pub
- Chisago Lakes Liquor
- Fitger's Brewhouse
- Finnegans
- Flat Earth Brewing Co.
- Great Waters Brewing Co.
- Bell's Brewing Inc.
- Lake Superior Brewing Co.
- Town Hall Brewery
- Rock Bottom Brewery
- Summit Brewing Co.
- Surly Brewing Co.
