Still need a COVID-19 vaccine? Well now you can sup on a free beer after getting one at Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul Monday evening.
The brewery at 550 Vandalia St. is teaming up with St. Paul Corner Drug for a pop-up vaccination clinic between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
There will be 300 doses of the Johnson & Johnson single-shot COVID-19 vaccine available for free, with no insurance required.
And to act as a sweetener, the brewery will provide a free beer to anyone who turns up to get their shot.

In Duluth, they re offering vaccine shots in the downtown bus depot.
In St. Paul, volunteer physicians are working with a local brewery on a pop-up event that rewards those who get vaccinated with a free beer.
And in the northwest metro, an Elk River clinic is offering shots to patients as they seek help for other health care needs.
The strategies are meant to persuade Minnesota s unvaccinated to finally get their shots at a time when the pace of COVID-19 immunizations has slowed significantly. Since early April, the statewide average for first doses administered has fallen from about 40,000 per day to fewer than 14,000 at the end of last week, according to the Star Tribune s vaccination tracker.
Free Beer For COVID Vaccine: Brewery Works To Incentivize More People To Get Shots

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) When Matt Lange got into the beer brewing business, serving shots wasn’t part of the plan at least not of tequila, anyway.
But on Monday, Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul will transform its patio into a pop-up COVID vaccine clinic and offer 300 doses of Johnson and Johnson plus a free beer on the brewery’s tab.
“No hard liquor just a shot of vaccine and beer,” joked Lange, founder of Lake Monster.
St. Paul Corner Drug approached Lange with the idea as a way to offer an incentive for people who are on the fence about getting a vaccine or those who aren’t making it a top priority. It was an easy sell, he said.
