Ryan Anderson (that's me!) is the editor & founder of MNBeer. Much has changed since the fall of 2005 and I'm proud to have been a part of it all. Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Lift Bridge & Laura Mullen in January Metro

I rolled into the office today and found the January issue of Metro magazine in my mailbox. First, Lift Bridge Brewery made the Metro5. Definitely a nice nod for the brewery, though I’ll have to disagree, respectfully, with the writer who mentions that Farm Girl Saison is reminiscent of New Glarus Spotted Cow.

Secondly, Laura Mullen, who many of you know from Winterfest, Autumn Brew Review, Arborfest, etc. was featured as well.

Nice press guys… it doesn’t look like these pieces are online yet, but they’re in the January issue of Metro. Enjoy!

Enjoy a local beer, chat with the folks that bring you MNBeer.com and have a good local beer with other great people! More details forthcoming. Suffice to say that you’ll have a good time!

  • Cask beer from Summit (IPA dry-hopped with Amarillo), Lift Bridge (Double-hopped Pale Ale), Surly, Brau Brothers!
