Monticello

Monticello's 44th annual Riverfest is this week with a full lineup of events and activities for the whole family!

A video shared to Facebook shows a multi-vehicle pileup and fire that happened on I-94 in Monticello Thursday morning.

About 18 of us showed up at Emagine Entertainment in Monticello Saturday night to throw axes at the newly-added MN Axe.

If you travel I-94 between St. Cloud and the Cities often, you may want to consider taking Highway 10 for the next couple months instead.

At the end of November, Rustech Brewing in Monticello announced that they would be joining over 1,000 craft breweries around the world in producing a special fundraiser beer with 100% of proceeds going to support California wildfire relief efforts.

"Atop the highest mountain by the light of the moon the all knowing Ibex awakes thirsty from his dream.. he calls out for 3 hero's to embark on one impossible quest...To craft him the perfect beer... Will they succeed? Join them on their journeys, mishaps and conquests..."

The brewery and taproom -- which will be Monticello's first -- is 90% complete says Penny Burt, wife of manager and founder Bill Burt.

The beauty of antiquing is you never know what you're going to find! Ironically, the terror of antiquing is also that you never know what you're going to find.

Beer enthusiasts, rejoice! A new craft brewery - Rustech Brewing Company - is coming to Monticello in early 2018.
