In fact, I think we were the newest brewery for an entire year, which you don't hear about that anymore. We're kind of in on the front end of any of that craft beer boom. It's a little weird calling it a "differentiator" now at this point, but I mean we've been around now for six years. In the years since you've opened there has been a number of breweries pop up. Croix Valley and kind of the river lifestyle, but obviously still see it as a big tie to Stillwater. So it could be more representative of the St.


We wanted something that kind of represented the area but not specifically Stillwater. Lift Bridge obviously references the lift bridge in downtown Stillwater. I think the community would definitely agree with you! Tell me, where did the name Lift Bridge come from? So, we were kind of wondering why didn't Stillwater have a brewery? We stared looking into it and just thought would really go well with the community here, and so we decided to start our own home town brewery. Well we, all five of the co-founders, were all originally from Stillwater or live in Stillwater. You've touched on the fact that Stillwater was alluring because of the brewing history in the town, but why did you decide to open here after working with Flat Earth?
