Minnesota Monthly’s 10th annual GrillFest was one to remember! The 2022 GrillFest celebration took place on the third weekend in May as guests returned to CHS Feild to commemorate the very best parts of the warm-weather season. We set out to make the 10th annual GrillFest the biggest and best yet, and with the help from over 120 exhibitors and sponsors, we achived our goal at this year’s record-breaking festival. Guests sampled mouth-watering foods and refreshing beverages as they watched live demonstrations while interacting with local and national crafters and artians. 

GrillFest will return in 2023 to continue the celebration.

The MAGIC is in the STASH. For our stash series, our brewers reached into their secret stash of Cryo Hops® to deliver uniquely flavorful, less bitter, & beyond approachable beers! Cryo Hops® from Yakima Chief Hops are a hop product in which Lupulin, the yellow, pollen like material within the hop cone (which carries the essential oils & acids used for brewing), is cryogenically separated from the hop with a Nitrogen bath at sub-zero temps. Brewing with Cryo Hops® helps us create easier-drinking, less bitter IPAs vs. traditional hops, without sacrificing the juicy flavors and tropical aromas that drinkers love.
