Beer & Mead Garden
Ready for a refreshing experience in our Beer & Mead Garden? Savor handcrafted brews and meads from talented local brewers and artisans while soaking in the lively atmosphere and music. Cheers to great drinks, great company, and a great time!
For 2026, we’re introducing a donation-based wristband policy for the Beer & Mead Garden. Entry to the garden will continue to be free for all ages.
To help cover the costs of the beer garden and support the festival more broadly, we invite anyone obtaining a wristband to make a voluntary $15 donation via the St. Anthony Park Branch Library Association GiveMN page. Those who donate and show their GiveMN receipt will receive a ticket redeemable for one beverage at any participating vendor. The remaining funds will help support SAPBLA events and the Arts Festival.
Wristbands are required to purchase alcoholic beverages, but everyone—regardless of age—is welcome to enjoy the garden and its atmosphere.
Thank you for supporting the festival and your local arts community!
Dual Citizen
At University Ave & Hwy 280, that’s where you’ll find us. We’ve been here since 2018, brewing an ever-expanding range of ales and lagers, including the 2022 World Beer Cup Gold Medal winning Mayhem & Mischief. Situated conveniently between Minneapolis and St. Paul, we are a community-driven brewhouse that proudly claims citizenship on both sides of the river.
Bumbling fools
We do, in fact, bumble about a bit.
Skot and Noah stumbled headlong into mead-making in 2019 after simultaneously locking eyes at a party and saying, "... ... we should make mead!"

Hobby Farmer Switchel is an all natural pre-biotic beverage that gives you energy, electrolytes, relieves inflammation, and is great for digestion. Brewed from perfectly balanced proportions of Organic Ginger juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, and crystal clear Minnesota water. Our Switchel replaces electrolytes, balances your bodies pH, cleanses your liver and kidneys, and is packed with the many other health benefits of Turmeric, Cinnamon, and Cayenne.
Switchel has been used for centuries by hard working farmers who used it to relieve pain and inflammation as well as provide them the energy to work hard day after day in the hot fields. Along with Kombucha, Apple Cider Vinegar based drinks like Switchel are making a comeback with people who know and understand the value of maintaining their health in a natural and holistic way.
