Not sure what to do for the 4th? Join us at the Stillwater Library for their Light a Spark event. Food by Savories, fun for the whole family.

Join us on the terrace of the Stillwater Public Library for an old fashioned 4th of July Community event featuring Lee Valsvik, Kristen Solberg with The Solberg Trio, the picnic delicacies of Savories, the beers of Lift Bridge Brewery, and Stillwater’s very own fireworks. For additional details, check out LightASpark.

Where: Johnson Terrace Stillwater Public Library
224 North Third Street, Stillwater, MN

Tickets: $35 per person and includes food and lawn activities. Add $10 per person for the “Wines Around America” wine tasting. Reserve tickets at LightASpark or call 651-275-4338.

Maibock – a traditional Bavarian styled brew with a distinctive malt character and a subtle caramel finish.  A bock strong enough for summer campfires and tall tales.

Introducing our first Bavarian Hefeweizen: Cloudy, redolent with banana & clove, our first Hefeweizen in growlers is ready for the hot summer weather. Often served with a slice a lemon in America or straight up in its native Germany, it’s a wonderful taste treat either way.

And it’s possible we may have a few Helles or Black Bavarians in the cooler.  But no guarantees on them still being there too long.

Are you feeling a little fest-neglected? After Indulge and the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest on back to back weekends, the rest of the summer is looking a little less packed with local festivals. But not to fear! The MN Craft Brewers have just announced the date for ticket sales for September’s Autumn Brew Review.

Howdy Folks-
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend! The rumor of Town Hall Brewery tours will become a reality Saturday, July 11th. Look for tours the first saturday of each month at 1pm. They will be on a first come, first serve basis and we will service the first 15 of you to sign up.(see bartender for sign up). The tour will offered for the small fee of $7 and will include your first pint of beer (filled at the bar prior to tour departure), samples in our lower brewery area tasting room poured in your “official TH Brewery tasting glass” THAT YOU KEEP, and 10% off your food post tour. I will be conducting your tours and look forward to your questions pertaining to our beer and how all those tanks work. Expect tours to last 30-60 mins. (length determined by participants questions/interaction).
Again space limited to the first 15, so get yourself signed up today! We will begin with one tour each Saturday and add more as needed. Tour dates will be adjusted for months that begin with a holiday on the first Saturday.
Group tours can be arranged by appointment with at least two weeks notice, and can be a fun choice for a casual company/work outing.
Expect to have fun and you may even learn something!
Cheers

While not a beer destination, I know some of you are foodies, too, so don’t forget that Heartland is closed for their annual staff holiday June 28 - July 14.

Rock Bottom will be tapping their American Dream IPA just in time for the holiday weekend. This IPA is a medium bodied, full flavored India Pale Ale that offers bright, fruity and citrus hop flavors and aromas, expertly balanced with specialty malts.
