I'd go check it out but I'll be back there at the end of the month for the Gitchee Gumee Brewfest. Seems a bit strange that they don’t mention any Fitger’s beer at FIRGER’S Bockfest.

A great event from what I recall, but nowhere near as big as Schell's Bockfest. The first time I went Lake Superior Brewing was still in the complex, and that event also coincided with a breweriana collectors' show, and that was a very memorable event. I hope to make it back to this one soon, I've been gone to long : ) I haven’t been here for close to ten years – how time flies I guess!
