Beer lovers, meet your makers! That’s the invitation from the organizers of the 2012 Hopped Up Caribou Beer Fest at Caribou Highlands Lodge in Lutsen on Saturday, July 14.

The Hopped Up Fest features a mouth-watering barbecue and live music by Cook County’s Most Wanted in the mountain side beer garden from 3 – 6 p.m. Beer lovers will have the chance to sample homegrown (local and regional) beer from 13 area breweries and to get to meet the brew masters behind the beer. Fest-goers get to vote for the beer that should receive the Lake Superior Beer Cup.

From 7 – 10 p.m. there will be a Still Hopping After Party with an outdoor bonfire, barbecue, and more live music with the Boomchucks.

Cost is $35 per person in advance ($40 at the door), which includes food and live entertainment. Lodging packages are available. Designated drivers receive discounted admission.
