Beer aficionados will gather this weekend to sip on microbrews crafted by more than 40 of the area’s finest breweries. It’s the first annual St. Cloud Craft Beer Expo, held from 4 to 8 pm Saturday at the Civic Center. Attendees will receive commemorative tasting glasses and can taste as many beers as they want. Festival organizer Juno Choi says he’s expecting about 1,300 people to attend this weekend’s event.

General admission tickets are $25. Tickets for designated drivers are $10. KVSC’s own Chris Duffy and Dana Johnson will be at the Craft Beer Expo playing music and handing out free KVSC stuff.
