Rails & Ales: Light Rail Brewery Crawl is back for a third year, and now includes a dozen breweries, the organizer, GetKnit Events, announced via press release.

The crawl takes place via Metro Transit’s Green Line Light Rail on Saturday, August 27, from 11am–6pm, and hits up the following breweries:

• Inbound BrewCo
• Modist Brewing
• Fulton Beer
• Day Block Brewing Company
• Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery
• Surly Brewing MSP
• Urban Growler Brewing Co.
• Bang Brewing
• Lake Monster Brewing

Participants will check in at Target Field Station, Stadium Village Station, or Union Depot Station. From there, they will receive two tokens, each good for a pint of beer at any participating brewery; an event T-shirt (your voucher for special discounts at the breweries); and an event passport that includes maps and information. From there, the event is a self-guided crawl, with exclusive beers, activities (live music, games), special offers at surrounding businesses, and discounts on food, brews, and merchandise available at most locations.

Last year’s event sold out with 1,250 tickets sold. Early registration tickets for this year’s crawl go on sale today, Tuesday, June 21, at 12pm, and are available for $35 until July 27. After July 27, they will be $45 (if still available).
