Lift Bridge Harvestor Release Paaaaartaaaaay

By on October 11, 2009in bars/restaurants, beer events, breweries

Lift Bridge is releasing their fresh hop IPA, Harvestor, on October 25th, 2009 from noon to 3.  Important note:  Harvestor has an umlaut over the “o.”  I don’t know how to type with an umlaut, so you’ll need to add that yourself when reading this (that is, if you know how to use diacritics).

The Happy Gnome is hosting this release party, apparently under a Happy Tent.  Happily the event is free.  For three happy dollars you get a ticket for a happy pint, or four tix for ten dollars for you big, happy spenders.

Lift Bridge Has Arrived

Yep, that’s right.  Lift Bridge “has arrived.”  You know you’ve “arrived” as a brewery when your beer makes it to my drowsy hometown of Sleepy Eye, MN.  One of my hometown neighbors will be pushing the goods (Farm Girl) throughout Southern MN (or SoMin, if you’re trendy).  That’s Arneson Distributing , btw.  Anywho, here’s a posting by the gang at Lift Bridge about this momentous occasion.  Holidays with ma and pa just got a bit more cheerful.  Thanks guys!

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday!

We are having growler sales tonight and not Thursday this week.

Next week (11th – 17th) we will be retooling and changing some things at the brewery, which means there will be no growler sales next week at all.

So stock up tonight because there will be no growler sales until the 20th.

Tonight we will have:

Angry Planet Pale Ale
Element 115 Lager
Unfiltered Cygnus X-1 Porter
Black Helicopter Coffee Stout
Mummy Train Pumpkin Ale
Double Dry Hopped Angry Planet

and

Sodas

Cheers!
