The earliest discovery of beer dates back thousands of years – and it’s suggested that historically, beer was first enjoyed through straws in a group setting. Some things never change. The Craft Beer Tour originated as a way to continue to pay homage to beer’s roots and the celebratory way it connects people. At Leighton Events, community is a driving force behind our beer tasting events and we invite you to join us for one of our four flagship events in the great state of Minnesota.

Winona Craft Beer Tour

Winona was built as a railway and steamboat transportation mecca and do you know that those industrious and pioneering folks were big fans of? Beer.

Alexandria Craft Beer Tour
When: July 18, 2025
Where: Knute Nelson Field, Alexandria, MN
As our team headed Northwest on sampling tours in Fergus Falls, Detroit Lakes and Grand Forks last summer, we found ourselves stopping…to stretch, at some of the fine breweries in Alexandria, MN. Then one day, we thought – why not stay awhile?
St. Cloud Craft Beer & CiderFest

Core fans only! The St. Cloud Craft Beer & Ciderfest was created to appeal to the other side of craft fans – those who love hard cider and other beer alternatives.

Spend a day in the sunshine basking in apple goodness and sample local and national craft beverages from a wide range of brands.
