Lift Bridge Biscotti Release & Bake-Off

Yes, you read correctly, in addition to releasing Biscotti, Lift Bridge is also giving you the opportunity to show off your baking prowess.

To celebrate the release of one of the most culinary brews in our lineup, we are hosting a bake-off at the brewery and taproom on Saturday December 17. We will have regular hours throughout the day (tours at 1 and 3), but then keep the taproom open until 9pm. We will have 750ml bottles of Biscotti to sell direct to you during the day and evening.This will be your first chance to taste and purchase it before it hits the bars or store shelves! Biscotti was created to emulate the traditional Italian cookie baked during the holiday season and celebrates the warmth and comfort of a hot oven radiating sweet aromas of tasty treats. We encourage you to [flour] sack up, iron your apron, and arrive with your signature cookie or sweet bread delight by 6pm. Local baking gurus will be on hand to judge your efforts and award prizes (judges and prizes to be announced next week!). Special attention given to contestants that work in a beer theme, and the winning recipe will be posted on our website for all to try to replicate. Bring enough to share as there will be a “crowd favorite” category as well. There is no cost or cover charge to enter; Normal taproom prices for pints, flights, growlers, and 750ml bottles of Biscotti or Commander. Timeline: If you wish to enter the bake-off, you must bring your cookies by 6pm for registration. Awards Ceremony and grand Biscotti bottle opening at 7:30pm. We will close at 9pm.
