Grain Belt Bottling House

Grain Belt Bottling House is a diverse venue, used for everything from the Autumn Brew Review to various other gatherings and shows throughout the year. Depending on the size of the crowd, parking and entry can be a breeze or really tough. It is a venue that has a lot of potential, with both the inside of the building and the outdoor field where ABR is held available as potential space. I guess I would say that I feel the ABR is too big for this venue and there are parking issues (not to mention the wrap-​around-​the-​block hour-​long wait to get through the gate). Other things I’ve been to at this facility seemed better suited.
For the record, I do think that reusing an old building period is awesome. It’s way better than just letting it sit there. :-)

I truly hope someone will be able to write a more thorough review than me, but I will at least give my holler-​out to the Grain Belt Factory.
I go here once per year for Autumn Brew Review. The place is a fantastic host! They allow the parking lot to be overrun by micro-​brew vendors and patrons who enjoy a tasty libation. If nothing else, I appreciate their support for the booming micro-​brew industry, especially that in Minnesota. Thanks Gain Belt!
