Rare Beer Picnic

Junkyard Brewing Company invites you to join us at the annual Rare Beer Picnic!

The Rare Beer Picnic is a beer sampling festival held in Moorhead, MN.

The focus of the Rare Beer Picnic is Aged, Soured, Infused beer. This year we invited some of the top breweries and friends in the brewing industry to bring their "Rarest" beers to share with you!

This is a festival unlike any in our area!

It is a smaller festival giving you and the participating breweries a more intimate experience. We ask that each participating brewery send an owner, a brewer, or someone that knows everything about their brewery. With limited space we limit the number of participating breweries and attendees. Part of the proceeds go to one of our sponsors, a nonprofit in Moorhead, The Rourke Art Museum.

See you at the picnic!

Pride and Joy Rescue focuses on horses going to slaughter. "These horses are either surrendered, abandoned, negligent cases, among so many other reasons". Pride and Joy strives to save as many horses as it can to nurture, care for, and rehabilitate these horses so they are ready to go to a loving home.

Event Details:
The event is May 19th from 4-7pm.
-Dress up in Western theme for a chance to win prizes from Junkyard Brewing!
-Come pet Jude, the mini pony.
-Participate in a silent auction by Pride and Joy Rescue

We hope this will raise awareness of what is happening to these horses and that there is hope for them through organizations like Pride and Joy Rescue!
