The things that I have been hearing about Back Shed closing have all been very sad.  Most people, if you like craft beer, loves Back Shed.  They have worked very hard for years to have as many beers as possible, and also to have as many beers as they can that people will like.

They have been very successful at that mission.

But now, because of the sale of Crafts Direct, they are forced to close.  They were looking for another spot to relocate, and hopefully that search will continue.  People who like Back Shed Brewery would love for that to happen.  But for now, they will have to close.  So, since this is the situation, they are going to go out with a big event.

Saturday, March 1st is when they are having their Minnesota Good-bye.  And as we all know, those Minnesota Good-byes can take quite awhile, so this event will last for 13 hours.

They have created a Facebook Event that spells out exactly what will be happening throughout the day.  There will be so much fun with beer, obviously, food, games, and a band.

Our last day of operation here in Waite Park will be March 1st. Come celebrate with us and our amazing staff for the last three and a half years in this amazing space. We will be open until midnight and we are going out with a BANG!
Food Truck: Brick Oven Pizza Bus from 12-8 PM
Beer Poking from 12-5 PM
BINGO! from 12-1:30 PM
Meat Raffle from 5:30-7 PM
LIVE MUSIC:
Elle Johnson from 2-5 PM
Music Muffin Man from 8-11 PM
If you cannot be there for the entire event, at least you can see what time everything will be happening.  So plan accordingly!  Even if you don't like beer, this is still an event you will want to attend.

Let's help Back Shed Brewery go out the Minnesota way, and hope that this isn't a total good-bye, and hopefully just a "see ya later".
