NA (non-altering) tickets are only $20. Enjoy locally-made NA beer and other non-altering options throughout the fest and at our designated NA tent. NA Ticketholders wear a special wristband and do not receive a commemorative tasting glass. (Note: THC samples are not included in NA tickets.)

Refunds: Festival is held rain or shine. No refunds, including if APN must be canceled due to dangerous weather or other unforeseeable circumstance. 

Please do not purchase secondhand tickets!

Every year, we turn away dozens of attendees who have purchased a fake or duplicate ticket to APN. Scammers often buy a single ticket and sell it to multiple people, or copy our branding and create QR codes to mimic real tickets.  There is no way for us to ensure the authenticity of your secondhand ticket before the fest, and those with fake/duplicate tickets will not be let into APN.

APN sells out every year; buying your ticket directly from us is the only way to guarantee an authentic ticket. If you must purchase a ticket on the secondary market, please make the transfer AT the event to ensure the authenticity of your ticket and the seller.

The Guild’s mission is to promote, protect, and grow a robust Minnesota craft brewing industry. As part of that mission, we only feature Minnesota businesses and Minnesota-made beer at our fests.

Is this fest accessible?
APN is held in Bayfront Festival Park. Much of the fest is located on uneven grass that may be wet, muddy, or soft. Portions of the festival grounds may be difficult to access via wheelchair. There will be multiple ADA-compliant restroom stalls. Guests are encouraged to bring their own seating.

How early should I arrive?
Guests can begin the ticket/wristband process at 2:30 p.m. and wait for the fest to open in our APN Marketplace. Once in the Marketplace, you will not be able to leave and re-enter. (There will be bathrooms and water access within the Marketplace.) At 3:30 p.m. anyone in the Marketplace will be immediately let into the festival to begin sampling.

Will there be any special or rare beers?
Yes, we’ll share more about our festival app with the beer list in the week or two before the festival.

Will there be any gluten-free beers/ciders/etc.?
Yes, you’ll be able to find them on our app!

Will there be non-alcoholic drinks?
Yes. Brewers are bringing non-altering (non-alcoholic and non-THC) options that will be poured in a designated NA tent and at the respective breweries. There will also be plenty of water.

Will there be THC drinks?
Yes! Breweries and brewpubs make a variety of Delta-9 hemp-derived THC beverages, so they will be bringing those products along with their beer and non-altering offerings. If this is your first time trying THC beverages, or your first time sampling both beer and THC, here are some tips:

• Start slow! Beer and THC can both take some time before you feel the full effects, so be sure to take your time between samples.
• Ask questions! The beertenders at our festivals work at breweries and are familiar with the product and its potency, so listen to their descriptions and suggestions.
• Drink water! Water is available in the APN marketplace. There are also non-alcoholic and non-altering beverages available to sample if you’re feeling like you need a minute.
• Every body is different! Don’t try to “keep up” with anyone, and make sure you check in with yourself throughout the festival.
• Get a sober ride home! This goes for all attendees 🙂

Will there be an ATM?
No. All craft brew samples at APN are free, and most food and other vendors have electronic payment systems. Please bring cash with you if desired.

I can’t find my ticket. What do I do?
First, please check your email, including your spam folder. There should be an email from Humanitix with your receipt and ticket. You will also receive a pre-fest email in the day or two before the festival from Humanitix as well.

Could the festival get canceled?
We do everything we can to provide a quality event for craft beer fans, and the health and safety our festival attendees, workers, and volunteers are of utmost importance. The event would be canceled if conditions that threaten the health and safety of people at our festival occur, including extreme weather, dangerous air quality, or other public health or safety emergencies. We make every effort to alert festgoers as early as possible if these conditions are likely, or if we have to cancel an event. Unfortunately, if a cancellation like this occurs, we are not able to issue refunds or reschedule the festival.

I can’t attend the fest. Can I cancel my ticket and get a refund?
All purchases are final and we cannot issue refunds. You are welcome to sell or give your ticket to a friend or family member.

Will there be tickets day-of?
Possibly, but it is unlikely. If you still see tickets available on the ticket page, go ahead and purchase them! If the page shows tickets as sold out, then there are no longer any tickets available. There are no ticket sales at the door. Tickets must be purchased online.

Can you verify the authenticity of my ticket?
No. Buying your ticket directly from us is the only way to guarantee an authentic ticket.

Every year, we turn away dozens of attendees who have purchased a fake or duplicate ticket to APN. Scammers often buy a single ticket and sell it to multiple people, or copy our branding and create QR codes to mimic real tickets.  There is no way for us to ensure the authenticity of your secondhand ticket before the fest, and those with fake/duplicate tickets will not be let into APN. If you’d like to be notified when tickets go on sale for future events, please sign up for our email list.
