3 Squares in Maple Grove is having an Anniversary Party on Thursday, June 4th. New Belgium will be featured AND they will have the new Biere De Mars on draft!! The distributor only got a very limited supply of this beer, so when it’s gone it’s gone… enjoy!

Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.
Lift Bridge Beer… in Bottles!
Dear beer store buyers,
Please stock up on bottles of Lift Bridge Farm Girl Saison. I have a small crush on it. No, it’s okay, Dawn is aware of it. It’s nothing serious but I do enjoy it. That’s okay, right? Can you help me? I think you should.
Love,
Ryan
We are pleased to announce that the week of June 22nd we will begin delivering Farm Girl Saison six packs to bars and liquor stores. If you would like a sneak peak, the Farm Girl Saison beer and bottle are featured in the June issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine.
Who will have them? There are several places who have pre-ordered cases. If you would like your favorite liquor store to get them, please email us the name and we will contact them. Please email us at Sales@LiftBridgeBrewery.com.
Muddy Pig 7th Birthday
It sounds like a wonderful party at the ‘Pig! …and here I thought it was cool that one of my friends living in New York came back for the MNBeer 3.5 year birthday party. She’s very cool, but not exactly the Prior from the Koningshoeven Trappist Monastery. 🙂
Muddy Pig’s 7th Birthday Party on Saturday, June 27, all day. Wow, can it really be 7 years already? We all know The Muddy Pig has the best customers in the cities and to thank you for 7 years of support we are throwing a party. All draft beers will be half price on Saturday, June 27 from open to close. Please make arrangements for a ride home. Koningshoeven Event on Saturday, June 27 @ 1pm and 2:30pm We have a very special event planned to coincide with our 7th birthday party. The Prior from the Koningshoeven Trappist Monastery will be at The Muddy Pig for 2 seminars at 1:00 and 2:30. This will be the first time in forever that a member of one of the Trappist breweries will be in town and it’s an event you won’t want to miss. At the seminar you will learn about what it means to be a member of the order, what it takes to make real Trappist ales and what the future holds for these amazing products. Not to mention sampling the entire lineup of Koningshoeven beers including a one time beer created to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the monastery. Tickets are $30 each and will go on sale the week of June 8. Cheers, Mark
You wanted local craft beer at the new Twins stadium?
Hmm. Not sure if they’re listening. This doesn’t look terribly promising. Nothing says “ultimate Minnesota outdoor experience” like… uh… Budweiser?! Maybe not…
Target Field to feature Budweiser Roof Deck
This probably shouldn’t be looked upon as a final nail in the craft beer for having craft beer at the new stadium… Summit, Schell’s and Cold Spring lack the cashflow that Budweiser brings to the table, but something about having Budweiser as a prominent part of our new baseball stadium sort of cheapens things for me. I guess we can still hope for a little good beer at the new stadium. C’mon Twins… step it up a bit!
Summit Unchained Series: Kölsch
Here’s the scoop on Summit’s Kölsch that will be hitting shelves in July… Label art and all…
Summit will be releasing a Kölsch this July as part of their new limited run series called the Unchained Series. The brewery will release 3 different styles a year, with very small runs of each beer. Each style is helmed by an individual brewer-they get to choose the style and are in charge of overseeing the whole process, from recipe formulation to ordering raw materials. The packaging will actually feature the brewer’s name and signature. The Kölsch is being brought to you by Brewer Mike “the Miz” Miziorko. The focus of the series is to showcase our brewers’ talent and creativity, as well as to brew some styles that may be underrepresented in this market. The Unchained Series will be available in 6-packs and on draught.
PS-the label says German Style Kölsch because the TTB said it had to be labeled as such!
