A beer stock exchange and tasting alley will be set up at Main Street Square’s 12th annual Bierbörse, a German beer, and cultural celebration, on Saturday, July 22nd, from 1 to 5 p.m., presented by A&B Business Solutions, Vast/Bluepeak, Coors Lights & Scull Construction. The Designated Driver booth is sponsored by Coca-Cola.

Try a selection of brews down Tasting Alley, participate in a beer stock exchange at the Coors Light Beverage Garden, taste authentic German food from Enigma, enjoy live music, test your strength and wit with 3 of your best mates in the Beer Olympics or enjoy other solo yard games such as stein-holding, keg bowling and more.

In the beer stock exchange, the price of beer will vary from $2 to $8, and price is dependent on demand. For example, if the Dakota Point’s Nephobiber Hazy IPA brew is very popular, the price will rise. If no one is drinking Coors Light, the price will plummet and possibly crash. When a beer’s value is low, it will cost a minimum of $2. If it is high in demand, it may cost up to $8.

There will be two fenced-in areas, one for tasting and one for the Beer Stock Exchange. The event is 21+, Only those with a valid ID may consume alcohol. Main Street Square promotes drinking responsibly.
