Because We’ll Always Have Beer: This Year’s Meltdown Pint Glass Design Revealed

[rachellaitala]

Now that you have had your history lesson on Winter Meltdown Glasses Throughout the Years, it is time for a much-anticipated Meltdown event detail reveal: this year’s pint glass design, brought to life by the one and only, talented Brock Beauchamp. 

You’ll be raising this year’s pint glass filled with fresh beer from BlackStack Brewing, because commiserating hits a little differently when you have a great pint in hand. Because there’s something comforting about sharing a drink, swapping stories, and laughing through the heartbreak with fellow Twins fans who get it, right?

And it is a reminder that the Winter Meltdown isn’t just about the glass or the beer, it’s about coming together with a room full of fans who are riding the same emotional rollercoaster. Win or lose, hope or heartbreak, let’s toast to it all together.

Event Details
Date: Saturday, January 24
Time: 4:00 – 9:00 PM
Location: Smorgie’s, 508 N 1st Ave, Minneapolis

With the Winter Meltdown falling on the same weekend as TwinsFest, the day will be a full, perfectly sequenced celebration of baseball. Spend the afternoon at Target Field soaking in TwinsFest, then make the easy trip over to Smorgie’s to keep the energy rolling – the ideal way to transition from daytime fan fest to an evening surrounded by fellow diehards, cold drinks, and great conversation.

Each ticket includes:

• Two complimentary craft beers
• An exclusive Winter Meltdown 2026 pint glass
• Automatic entry into door prize raffles
• Five hours of premium Hot Stove hangouts with your people
• Live on-stage interviews hosted by Aaron Gleeman & John Bonnes
• Face time with special guests who mingle with the Twins Daily community

Past guests have included Kent Hrbek, Trevor Plouffe, Joe Nathan, Michael Cuddyer, LaTroy Hawkins, John Bonnes, Aaron Gleeman, and more – plus rising stars like Simeon Woods Richardson and fan-favorite voice Cory Provus. Who’s stepping to the mic this year? Stay tuned.

How/Tickets
Hundreds of people have previously wanted to attend this exclusive event, but this year, we only have 250 tickets available. You will likely need to become (or know) a Twins Daily Caretaker to get a ticket.

1. Each caretaker gets a free ticket to the Meltdown. 
2. Caretakers can buy up to three additional tickets for just $20

The Caretakers take care of Twins Daily, and we want to take care of them, so to give them the best chance, we are limiting the tickets to them, at least for now. If you want to join Twins Daily's Caretakers, you can do so for as low as $4/month. You get exclusive content, other benefits, and support from our hard-working writers, moderators, and tech guys. We would LOVE to have you join us. 

Can I Just Buy A Ticket?
Maybe? If our Caretakers don't sell this thing out, we will offer general admission tickets the week of the event. They will be $60 apiece.

Become a Caretaker here!

If you are already a Caretaker, THANK YOU. But please do not delay in buying your ticket. We will likely sell out, even limiting them to Caretakers and their friends. So grab them now.

Looking for more details? Great! We will reveal more about the Meltdown as it approaches, including our guests, giveaways, and other sponsors. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Bluesky for more news as it is released.

Purchase tickets here. See you at the Meltdown! We'll be announcing our special guests soon.

Any concerns that Twins fest may be cancelled?  Due to what is going on in Minneapolis currently?  If Twins fest is cancelled, would this event still go on?

You just need to buy a red hat with some printing on it.
