Join us for a very special event – LEAP BEER SNOW DASH between Dual Citizen Brewing Co and The Lab Brewery + Pilot Facility on Saturday, February 29 @ 11AM.
These two taprooms border our fine Twin Cities and are less than 1/2 mile apart. That + the fact that 2020 is a leap year + the fact that year rhymes with beer is all the reason we need to celebrate!

WHAT IS THE BREWERY RUNNING SERIES?/ running. beer. fun.
Co-founders Nate Herrington and Morgan Jappe joined forces to start a series of events combining their favorite things – being active, drinking beer, and supporting their community. Turns out, a few thousand other MN locals share those same interests! Since their inaugural event at Fulton Brewery in 2012, the structure remains the same. Participants walk / jog / run a 5k course and then drink beer. It’s that simple! Everyone is invited to enjoy the day’s entertainment: live music, food trucks, giveaways and activities with partners and sponsors, and all finishers get a FREE craft brew and collectors pint glass or seasonal swag item. Icing on the cake? A portion of all proceeds goes to benefit local non-profits. Nate and Morgan are thrilled to partner with even more great craft breweries this year and expand the series throughout the state.
