The Great Minnesota Get-Together is up and running for another year at the Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights. And THIS is the thing I'm most looking forward to about the Fair...

And, no surprise here, it's a beer. But not just any beer, mind you. It's the special Mini-Donut Beer, and you can only get it at the State Fair. It's made by Minnesota’s own Lift Bridge Brewing Company in Stillwater.

And, it's only available one place at the State Fair: The Ball Park Cafe, on Underwood Street, next to the Food building. This is the fifth year Lift Bridge has been making Mini Donut Beer. I’m not always a fan of really sweet beers, so I wasn’t sure I’d like it when I first tried it last year, but I was pleasantly surprised– it was really good!

Lift Bridge describes the Mini Donut Beer this way: “Lift Bridge Brewing Co. Mini-Donut Beer has a warm tan color, like the exterior of a mini donut. A malty base and natural flavors give this sweet sipper enough rich flavor without overwhelming the palate. Mini-Donut will be served in a glass rimmed with cinnamon and sugar.”  

The sugar on the rim of the glass– the same sugar you get on an order of mini donuts– really made the beer. It was great! (I kept wishing I could buy some to bring back home.)

What's the one thing you just HAVE to have at the State Fair?
