Arbeiter Brewery to hold Phoenix Festival

The Korean American-owned Arbeiter Brewery in Minneapolis is holding its annual Asian Phoenix Festival, a free event,  on May 10 l to lift up AAPI culture through community.

The Asian Phoenix represents resilience, revitalization, and harmony., and has become an important symbol to the South Minneapolis neighborhood as it works to renew and rebuild since the spring 2020 uprising.

The free event will include several Asian food vendors, including Bao Bao Buns, Caphin Vietnamese Coffee, and D’s Bahn Mi. Asian performing artists will include JangmiArts, and special guests Gina Choi and Chansoo Lee, DTG Lions, SeevCev and the DJ Diane Miller.

There will be an Asian craft market, and activities for children include face painting and a bounce house.

The event is sponsored in part by the Lake Street Council and Lake Street Lift.

Arbeiter Brewing Company, located at 3038 Minnehaha Avenue, creates a variety of beer styles, including a Korean rice lager, and a German pilsner. Arbeiter Brewing is one of a very few Asian-owned breweries in the country, since Asian owners represent only two percent of all breweries in the U.S.
