About this Event

What could be better than spending a couple hours tasting several local craft brewed spirits, and some wines? Giving back while you are doing it of course! On April 24th, the Lakeville Chamber Foundation is hosting their 8th annual Suds for Scholars fundraising event. The event, hosted at the Holiday Inn & Suites Lakeville, includes sampling from each brewer, while they tell you about their favorite creations. Bring a friend, a date, or your colleagues for an evening of beer and wine tasting, hot and hearty appetizers, and prize drawings. The generosity of our brewers – who donate their time and all their spirits – as well as several local sponsors, make it possible for 100% of single ticket sales to go directly into the Foundation’s scholarship fund.

Check back, or follow us on social media, for an updated list of brewers and wineries: Angry Inch, Arbeiter Brewing Company, Bald Man Brewing, Boathouse Brothers Brewing, Chankaska Winery, Dangerous Man, Fulton Brewery, Giesenbrau Bier Co., Hackamore, Insight Brewing, Invictus Brewing Co, Lakeville/Inver Grove Brewing, Luce Line Brewery, Omni Winery & Taproom, Shakopee Brewhall, South Side Barley Crushers, Tanzenwald Brewing, Unmapped Brewing Co.
