Lift Bridge Brewing Company

We decided to take a little trip from the cities to attend the Slushy Fest a few months back. We went close to opening and it was fairly empty since it was earlier in the day on a Friday.They offered about 6 or so different slushy flavors. We each tried 1-2 flavors. We were able to sample some as well. The Arnold Palmer one was really good as well as the grape ape one. They were out of some of the food items and running out of others as we were there which was a bit crazy as it was the start of the weekend and they had this event going on. They did had a BBQ food truck setting up for the more busy hours which is nice. Overall this was a nice location. It's near buy other breweries/distilleries so that's nice if you are from a ways out and want to explore different places.

We came to Lift Bridge to kill some time before an event at the state park nearby; granted, it was a Thursday, but the whole place was pretty empty. That meant that we got to pick a perfect spot on the patio! They had great music playing inside & the server was super friendly. I was really excited to see that they had the mini donut beer (which I love at State Fair)! My husband tried a couple different beers that he also really enjoyed: the Elevated Amber & their lager. We also ordered food, which is where the single star gets knocked off. They didn't have the chips & dip (but instead pivoted us to your classic stadium nachos, tortilla chips & cheese). My husband got a Chicago dog, which he said was really tasty. I ordered a corndog & was told it would take around 25 minutes, which wasn't a huge deal because we were just hanging out. They also gave me a second corndog for having to wait :)In all, I'd definitely come back any time we're in/passing through New Richmond!

Such a cute little stop in New Richmond! We love Lift Bridge products, so we were excited to stop here on the way to our cabin. The taproom is small but cozy, with tons of fun drinks to try and buy. The bartender was kind and casual, helping us pick out our drinks!I tried the Bomb Pop seltzer and it tasted like a melted popsicle! Light and refreshing, I wanted a pack of them for a summer day. My fiance really enjoyed the Pineapple Blonde, he ended up buying the fruity blonde variety pack on the way out!We will definitely be stopping here on the way to our cabin more often!

5 stars all the way!If you're into beer, you'll really enjoy Lift Bridge. This is the smaller brother to the big brother Stillwater location. New Richmond is mostly a brewery but they have a bar tasting area in the front, along with an outdoor patio (weather permitting).The bar is, basically, a big tasting room. They have a giant menu with a dazzling variety of flavors. You can also take some home from the cooler or you can buy some Lift Bridge merch.Other than a few snacks, Lift Bridge doesn't offer any food to speak of. But they let you bring your own munchies. We brought our own burrito meals from Guac N' Roll. It was a one-two punch of great flavors...Mexico meats Lift Bridge Brewery!I knew nothing about the flavors on the menu. So I asked the bartender to use her discretion and pour me a flight of the most extreme, radical flavors she could find. And she didn't disappoint. I tried everything from a super dark "Irish Coffee" brew to a sweet seasonal "Apple Pie" to a sour "Jibe" - very interesting - definitely a taste extravaganza! They have their own Root Beer soda too - good stuff!Thumbs up!- Maxx

Awesome beer selection and atmosphere. They do have a limited selection of food and snacks, so you're better off eating prior to arriving.

I absolutely love this new spot that Lift Bridge and Big Watt have moved into with a nice size taproom and tons of space for them to brew their amazing beers! I can't wait to see what they do in this space and am happy they could expand their operations. Make sure to grab a beer or two and try to get a tour of this giant place as its super interesting and really different from their spot in Stillwater.
