Join PorchDrinking for Three Days of Special CBC Events in Minneapolis

PorchDrinking CBC Tap Takeovers at First Draft Taproom and Kitchen

The PorchDrinking team is taking the Twin Cities by storm during next week’s Craft Brewers Conference by partnering with First Draft Taproom & Kitchen’s Minneapolis location for three special afternoons of special tappings and programming.

We invite all CBC attendees to join us for three days of special tappings beginning Monday, May 2 with a Lager All-Stars takeover presented by our friends at Hopsonomy, followed by a WeldWerks + Forager & Friends Rarities Takeover on Tuesday, May 3, and wrapping with a Hop All-Stars night on Wednesday, May 4.

In addition to a world-class lineup of beers, we’ve also curated an incredible cast of brewery owners and brewers who will be joining us for mini-podcast recordings followed by free samplings of rare bottles not typically available to the public.

Check out our initial draft list below to preview the phenomenal beers we’ve lined up thus far, and stay tuned as we update our speaker list. All tappings will kick off at 3pm at First Draft Taproom and Kitchen located at 324 N 6th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401.
