Welcome To Gathering In The Wood Beer Festival

More than 30 breweries from across the country (list below) will be gathering in Rochester for the second year in a row. These world renowned breweries will be pouring barrel aged and wood fermented beer at the second annual Gathering In The Wood beer festival hosted by Little Thistle Brewing and Forager Brewery on May 9th, 2020. The Festival will take place at Little Thistle (2031 14th St NW, Rochester, MN 55901) from 3pm - 6pm, with a special VIP Hour from 2pm-3pm.

“We are proud to host a beer festival that showcases our friend’s amazing brews from across the country. It has been exciting to better understand and be a part of the collaborative spirit of the brewing industry which has not only helped improve our brewing practices at Forager, but also provided us the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with like-minded folks,“ says Annie Henderson, owner of Forager Brewery. “These are the same folks that will be attending Gathering In The Wood Festival and we are excited to introduce them to our Rochester community.”

In addition to the great beer, festival attendees can enjoy tasty bites from local food trucks all while enjoying live music from local musicians.

When asked why the Festival is focused on barrel aged and wood fermented beer, Forager Brewery Head Brewer Austin Jevne says that it’s due to his passion for craft beer “which lives within the rings and staves of wooden barrels. The character wood fermentation and wood aging contributes to beer continues to excite me and drives me to be a better brewer and blender. To share an afternoon at Gathering In The Wood Festival with like-minded brewers and beer lovers fills me with happiness.”
