ST. CLOUD — A craft beer expo will be held this Saturday at the St. Cloud Civic Center.

Craft beers are the new name for what used to be micro beers. They’re made by smaller brewers, and are usually ales instead of lagers.

Juno Choi is the organizer of the first ever “St. Cloud Craft Beer Expo”. He says you’ll be able to sample a variety of beers, as well as learn about the industry.
