Lift Bridge Brewing Launches Farm Day Golden Ale as New Year-Round Favorite

April 3, 2025 by Spencer Mapes

Lift Bridge Brewing Launches Farm Day Golden AleSTILLWATER, Minnesota — Lift Bridge Brewing Company is excited to introduce its newest year-round release: Farm Day Golden Ale. This bright, crisp, and easy-drinking golden ale is now available on draft, in six-packs, and in twelve-packs of 12-oz cans throughout the region starting April 1, 2025.

Farm Day Golden AleCrafted with balance and refreshment in mind, Farm Day delivers a smooth drinking experience with subtle malt sweetness and delicate floral hop notes. With a 4.8% ABV, it’s the perfect companion for everyday moments—from tending your garden to relaxing on the porch.

Bright · Balanced · Crisp

“Farm Day is designed to capture the spirit of a personal ‘farm day’—whether you’re growing your own food, mowing the lawn, or simply soaking in the sunshine,” said the team at Lift Bridge. “It’s a golden ale that speaks to simple pleasures and fresh starts.”

Saying Farewell to Farm Girl
As Lift Bridge welcomes Farm Day to its core lineup, it also announces the retirement of Farm Girl, the brewery’s first-ever commercial release and a fan favorite since 2008. While Farm Girl Saison was known for its Belgian influence and specialty ingredients like orange peel and melon hops, Farm Day features an all-new recipe focused on traditional golden ale characteristics.

Though Farm Girl is being retired, the brewery hasn’t ruled out a limited return in the future.

What Sets Farm Day Apart?
Unlike its predecessor, Farm Day is a true Golden Ale, crafted for clarity, refreshment, and easy drinkability. It’s clean and light, with a balanced flavor profile that fits perfectly into Lift Bridge’s evolving portfolio of innovative beverages.

When and Where to Find Farm Day
Farm Day Golden Ale officially launches April 1, 2025, and will be distributed across Lift Bridge’s network of retailers and tap accounts. While some stores may still have Farm Girl on shelves during the transition, Farm Day is now the brewery’s flagship golden ale.

About Lift Bridge Brewing Company
Founded in 2008 in Stillwater, Minnesota, Lift Bridge Brewing Company began as a small homebrewing venture among friends and quickly grew into one of the region’s leading independent craft breweries. Known for fan-favorite beers like Farm Girl Saison and Hop Dish IPA, Lift Bridge has since expanded into a diverse range of products, including hard seltzers, sodas, non-alcoholic mocktails, and THC-infused beverages.

In addition to its original Stillwater location, Lift Bridge operates a production facility and taproom in New Richmond, Wisconsin, and is planning a third location in Hudson, Wisconsin, complete with a restaurant, brewery, and event space.

Today, Lift Bridge Brewing produces over 20,000 barrels annually, employs more than 30 people, and continues to elevate life’s moments with innovative and high-quality beverages rooted in Midwestern tradition.

It’s a big step forward in our journey to become carbon neutral in direct emissions by 2030.”

The agreement covers the UK on-trade market, with the exception of certain venues where Northern Monk will maintain direct distribution.

Best Day Brewing Nature’s Pils is a meticulously crafted Pilsner made with Bavarian lager yeast and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops. The combination presents a clean woody and crisp citrus beer with a trailing maltiness and distinct hop character. The packaging features a pattern of North American flora and fauna.

The fan-favorite brew returns with the same great taste and packaging, but with an even bigger mission. Building on the success of the beer and partnership, Nature’s Pils marks the beginning of Best Day’s new 2025 seasonal program, where every limited-edition release will support a 1% for the Planet organization.

Nature’s Pils is available on BestDayBrewing.com and in retailers nationwide for a limited time from now through the spring.

“After an incredible first year partnering with The Conservation Alliance, we’re excited to bring Nature’s Pils back in support of their mission to protect wild spaces,” said Tate Huffard, CEO & Founder of Best Day Brewing. “This beer is a celebration of the great outdoors, and with every sip, we’re helping to preserve the places we love to explore.”

Public Coast Brewing Co. Announces New IPA and Orange Cream Soda

March 21, 2025 by Spencer Mapes

CANNON BEACH, Oregon – Public Coast Brewing Co. is releasing two new special release beverages to kick off March: an India Pale Ale Resurgence IPA and a zero-proof Orange Cream Soda.

“We’re thrilled to roll out two refreshing newcomers—an IPA beer and a zero-proof soda—for all to sip and savor!” says Ben Christianson, Public Coast’s brewer. “Both are perfect for shaking off winter and welcoming the light, bright flavors of spring.”

The Resurgence IPA is inspired by New Zealand’s Te Puna o Riwaka, where the waters of life emerge fresh and free from a hidden spring–filled with crisp, vibrant, and abundant notes. The Riwaka Valley is a sacred place for the indigenous people of New Zealand, and its lush agriculture and flavorful produce draw similarities to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. This India Pale Ale–with a 6% ABV–is Public Coast’s first craft brew of the year following “Dry January,” and has earthy aromas followed by a subtle citrus and grapefruit finish. The Resurgence IPA is available on tap at Public Coast Brewing Co.’s brewpub in Cannon Beach, as well as in 16-oz four-packs available to go.

The Orange Cream Soda is a bright, fun twist on Public Coast’s classic Cream Soda with a nostalgic mix of creamy vanilla and fresh tangy orange puree–reminiscent of an orange creamsicle– making it the perfect sweet and gluten-free beverage for a day on the Oregon coast. The Orange Cream Soda will only be available locally–for sale on tap and in 16oz cans at Public Coast’s brewpub in Cannon Beach and within coastal boundaries for a limited time.

About Public Coast Brewing

Located just 70 miles west of Portland in Cannon Beach, Ore., Public Coast Brewing is named after the only true public coastlines in America: the Oregon Coast. The brewery features a 10bbl Brewhouse with two 30-barrel fermenters, two 20-barrel fermenters, and four 10-barrel fermenters. Public Coast Brewing also offers fresh and delicious fare from local farms and ranches, including their own – Public Coast Farm. Boasting a large pet-friendly patio, large community-style outdoor fire pit, and an open brewhouse easily viewed from the bar, Public Coast Brewing offers a relaxed and welcoming spot for the whole family.

About Public Coast Farm

Oregon’s historic Route 26, known to Portlanders as the Sunset Highway, has welcomed generations of families traveling to and from the coast on its forested byway. Now Public Coast Farm sits on that very route, straddling West Dairy Creek at the base of the Coastal Range, on a 40-acre site lush with blueberry bushes, beehives, fruit orchards and hops. The farm is fertile ground for the farm’s sister properties – the Stephanie Inn and Public Coast Brewing Co. – each of which incorporates Public Coast Farm’s fresh ingredients into delicious dishes and seasonal beers.
