MN Beer Festival ‘All Pints North’ Announces New Location

All Pints North is a popular beer festival that's been hosted in Duluth for the past 14 years. But they made the announcement at the end of June that this summer will be the festivals last in Duluth.

At the time, they were still working out the final plans for their new location, but now, they have officially announced the new location of All Pints North for 2027: Bemidji.

Why is All Pints North Leaving Duluth

All Pints North has been hosted at Bayfront Festival Park for the past 14 years, why move it now? They said in the announcement last month that "the new location 'will help keep the festival accessible and vibrant in years to come'".

It's not a specific reason why they've decided to move, but it made me think that they'd be moving it closer to the Twin Cities. Considering they wanted it to be more accessible, I thought the meant not as far of a drive for the large population in the Cities.

But the new location actually moves them further north.

All Pints North Beer Festival Moving to Bemidji

Today, the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild released their official announcement about the move:

Today, the organizers of All Pints North Summer Brew Fest announced that next year’s festival will be held on the shore of Lake Bemidji on July 31, 2027. This move continues to celebrate the best of Minnesota summer by bringing together craft beer fans and the brewers of Minnesota to enjoy local beverages, businesses, artists, shops, food, and music in a new part of the state.

They also write that "Moving the festival to Bemidji in 2027 continues the Guild’s mission to promote craft brewers by bringing their signature event to a new city, its community, and its craft beer fans."

I'll be honest, I'm a little surprised they didn't decide to move it closer to the Cities, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I grew up in the Cities and love it, but they do get special treatment a lot. So while I'm surprised, I'm kind of happy that they chose somewhere outside of the Twin Cities area to host All Pints North next year.
