Minnetonka’s premiere craft brew celebration, Tonka Brew Fest, returns for its 10th year of beverages, eats and fun—courtesy of the Mound-Westonka Rotary Club, which brings 20 local breweries together to provide a sampling of some of Minnesota’s finest brews.
Tonka Brew Fest is set for 3–6 p.m. November 4 at Gale Woods Farm, 7210 County Road 110 W., Minnestrista. Event-goers will be treated to music from the Abiders, freshly grilled brats, beer, a commemorative tasting cup and more.
Over the past nine years, Tonka Brew Fest has raised more than $112,000, which has been earmarked for local charities, including the Eli Hart Foundation, WeCAN and the Westonka Food Shelf, for example.
