Lift Bridge Brewing - 5 Year Anniversary & Pickin' and Grinnin' 2013

Join us on September 7th, 2013 for to celebrate our 5 Year Anniversary.  We will be hosting our largest event ever to celebrate the accomplishments and to thank our all our supporters – You! 

As part of the festivities, we will continue this annual event to celebrate the hop harvest here in Minnesota.  Since the early days, we have been growing our own hops for our annual fresh hop brew called Harvestör™.  We have outgrown the garage and the backyard hop garden.  We have partnered up with our friends at Hippity Hops Farms in Forest Lake, MN.  They grow organic hops right here in Washington County.  For the last few years, we have enlisted your help to pick the hops at the brewery.  Not sure what to expect?  Check out the Heavy Table article about the event. 
 
Pickin’
1-4 pm – All ages – Free – We will cut down the bines and bring them into the brewery.  Join us there to help pick fresh hops for the brew.  We will be brewing during the event!  We will have live blue grass music and plenty of beer.  This is open to all ages, come early to reserve your spot.
