News & Updates
Minnesota Brews in Mpls/St. Paul Magazine
For those of you that receive or have stumbled upon a copy of Mpls/St. Paul magazine this is old news. For the rest, check out the nice nods they gave to our local, hard working breweries in last month’s issue.
If you’re looking for the Cliff Notes version, here are their “best local brews to sip this summer”:
Lift Bridge Farm Girl Saison (which scored a nice full page version of this picture)
Surly Cynic and Furious
Summit Scandia Ale
Flat Earth Element 115
Lift Bridge Beer Tasting at Thomas Liquors
Make your way to Thomas Liquors in St. Paul Friday July 3rd at 4pm. Lift Bridge Brewery will be on hand with samples of their Farm Girl Saison. While you’re there pick-up a couple of six-packs of this fine brew!
And the People’s Choice Winner Is…
Congratulations to Flat Earth for taking the People’s Choice title with their Sunburst Apricot Ale at the Saint Paul Summer Beer Fest yesterday! It was a beautiful day and a great festival. If you couldn’t attend I hope you were somewhere else enjoying good beer with good friends.
Surly Furious can shot
A little birdie informed me that there is a story on American Craft IPAs in a certain gentleman’s magazine with a Surly Furious can shot. If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, look for one that starts with a “P”.
