Tickets for the Winter Carnival Beer Dabbler are now on sale.

The Dabbler will be held Jan. 25 and has grown so large the organizers are staging it on the Midway at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

More than 150 local, regional and national breweries will be offering samples of beer, and there will be live music and food from local vendors.

There are three tiers of tickets:

— $35 ($30 in advance) for general admission, which includes access to the event, a souvenir sampling glass and beer samples.

— $50 ($45 in advance), which includes general admission privileges plus a T-shirt.

— $99 ($94 in advance) for VIP access, which includes access to the main event plus access to a heated tent, a pig-roast dinner (vegetarian options available), beer- pouring 30 minutes before the main event begins and exclusive oak-barrel-aged beers from Indeed, Fulton, Ballast Point and Dangerous Man.

Tickets are available at thebeerdabbler.com and at several St. Paul locations, including the Beer Dabbler Store on West Seventh Street, the Ale Jail on St. Clair Avenue and Thomas Liquors on Grand Avenue.
