(KNSI) – Four central Minnesota beverage makers took home some hardware at this weekend’s St. Cloud Craft Beer and CiderFest.
Woodlore Cider in Brainerd is this year’s People’s Choice award winner for Best Cidery. Downeast Cider House in East Boston won best cider for their Cider Donut concoction. The drink maker was honored at the event for the second year in a row.
The Brewer’s Cup award went to Brookview Winery in Milaca for their Raspberry Hard Cider. Best Brewery honors went to Lupulin Brewing Company in Big Lake, and the Best Beer trophy went to Pantwon Brewing Company in St. Cloud for their Fizzy Lifting Drink Cream Soda.
Participants voted on the awards at Saturday’s event at Dick Putz Field in St. Cloud. The winners were competing against 35 other drink makers and nearly 200 submissions.
Part of the ticket sales went to support the Mother of Mercy Foundation.
