STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR
1919 Root Beer
1919 Classic American Draft Root Beer is made by the New Ulm Brewing & Beverage Company in New Ulm, Minnesota. The name marks 1919, the year Prohibition pushed brewers to make near beer, elixirs and sodas; the Arneson family revived the recipe working with three generations of the Marti family of August Schell Brewery.
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair ended on Monday, September 7, 2026. Everything below describes the 2026 fair, which is the most recent one I hold — stands, buildings and rides carry over year to year, but dates, prices and schedules do not. I update it when the fair publishes for 2027. The 2027 fair runs August 26 – September 6, 2027 — 293 days away.
