The 45th annual Guzzle-n-Twirl show was held on October 6 at Aldrich Arena in Maplewood, Minnesota. This is the largest beer collectible show held in the upper Midwest.I saw many of my border batch brothers scanning the aisles for treasures. this is the largest beer collectibles show held in the upper Midwest. There are nearly 300 tables of breweriana for sale. The North Star chapter really comes together with volunteers and donations. There is room to room trading the day before the show at the Hilton Garden Inn. Many collectors spread their beer stuff out in their hotel room, and you can wander from room to room drinking, laughing and buying. A few folks ventured over to the newly renovated Jacob Schmidt brewery on W. 7th St. in St. Paul. They have retail shopping, craft beer and amazing food. Revival BBQ was a huge hit with their amazing smoked meats. Here are a few pictures of the collectors, treasures and fun that was had. If you’d like to add to your knowledge and collection, Mark the show on your calendar for next October!
