Hopped Up Caribou Beer Festival

This first-ever Lutsen Mountain beerfest's got Duluth-area bands, epic Lake Superior views, and cheap lodging packages bolstering tastings, Q&A's, and a Saturday beer garden from brewers like South Shore, Lake Superior, Surly, and Bell's: a sturdy group of "brewing heroes handpicked for their mastery of the craft and bravery in the face of homogenization", which makes you wonder exactly what they did to piss off the milk industry.
