We will be doing a second event in November called Beer Tasting and Tailgating.  We are dedicated to eating and drinking with the utmost regard to pleasure – pure and simple! Learn about the brewing process and beer ingredients while sampling several distinct Lift Bridge beers that you will learn to taste from a culinary standpoint.  We will prepare some of our favorite tailgating foods: Brad’s Famous Bloody Mary Bar, Crosscut Pork Lollipops (made with Crosscut Pale Ale), Bacon-wrapped Jalapeño Poppers, Mini Blucy Burgers (inspired by friends and owners of The Blue Door Pub in St. Paul), and Fall-spiced Vegetable Skewers, made with exclusively local produce.

Full Time Service:

Farm Girl Saison® – Belgian Saison - 5.5% ABV
This pale golden, Belgian-influenced ale is brewed in the farmhouse tradition, having a dry malt finish and spiciness that only Belgian yeasts can create. Smooth and well rounded… this one can please anyone. Enjoy!

Crosscut Pale Ale™ – Pale Ale - 5.5% ABV
Well balanced amber pale ale accentuated by multiple additions of floral Cascade hops and our unique introduction of grapefruit zest to compliment the citrus notes of the hops. Enjoy!

Chestnut Hill™ – Nut Brown Ale - 7.0% ABV
A wonderfully big nut brown ale crafted with roasty toasty malts balanced with Yakima hops and just enough alcohol to keep you warm on a fall afternoon. This is our newest seasonal beer released in draught only, so keep your eye out for it at quality drinking establishments around the metro.

Special Tappings:

12 pm: Chai Girl – Infused Saison on Cask - 5.5% ABV
A new and interesting take on our flagship Farm Girl Saison®, we have infused this brew with locally sourced exclusive Chai tea blend while ageing in the cask.  Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and tea blend with the subtle Belgian flavors in a mellow dance.  Enjoy!

This unique ale was inspired by traditional biscotti.  A complex array of malts, clover honey, star anise, grains of paradise, and Belgian yeast produces an interesting culinary experience.  Enjoy!
