Taste Minnesota beers at the "Brewed in Minnesota" exhibit

Each day, there are new Minnesota beers on tap at the craft brewers guild. 

The "Brewed in Minnesota" exhibit is in the Agriculture Horticulture building. The guild represents 170 breweries in the state. 

There are six different pouring stations at the exhibit, and each station has a different flight of four beers, which come from different breweries throughout the state.

In the end, it's all about highlighting beer in Minnesota and celebrating craft membership.

"Try different beers from especially breweries that you might not have ever had before," said Bob Galligan with the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild
