About this Event
We are the Minnesota Brewery Running Series® — and we run for beer! 🍻🏃♂️
Join us for our final event of the 2026 season — the 14th annual 0.5k Winter Beer Dash connecting two of Northeast Minneapolis’s favorite craft beverage destinations, Dangerous Man Brewing Co and Minneapolis Cider Co! 🎉
You read that correctly, just a 0.5k distance between these two locations. Start at one and finish at the other. Go back and forth as much as you wish!
🎁 What’s Included
Every participant receives:
✅ Two (2) craft beverage tokens — one from each location!
✅ A festive holiday sweater
✅ A Brewery Running Series winter swag item ❄️ (like a mug ☕, socks 🧦, or hat 🧢)
✅ Live music + Caroling Corner
✅ Food trucks
✅ Door prize giveaways
✅ Inflatable photo ops for the best holiday snaps!
✅ And plenty of holiday cheer to wrap up the year!
🎄 About the Dash
You’ll start at one taproom and make your way oh-so-merrily to the other, passing by music, cocoa, and holiday fun along the way.
And when you reach the finish line? More beer, food, music, and good cheer await at our Holiday Finish Line Festivus! 🎉
