Lift Bridge Brewing Co. Announces Expansion of Distribution in Wisconsin

STILLWATER, Minn. – Lift Bridge Brewing Company, Stillwater’s first craft brewery since Prohibition, has announced that it will further expand distribution in Wisconsin. Lift Bridge beer will now be available throughout most of the state, including Madison and Milwaukee.

Lift Bridge Brewing Company began in a one-car garage in Stillwater, MN. Located on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin, Stillwater’s iconic lift bridge connects the two states, serving as the inspiration behind the craft brewery’s name and the natural connection between the neighboring states.

Lift Bridge began selling their beer in Western Wisconsin in January 2010. After seven years of spectacular growth, the team decided to expand and began a relationship with Wisconsin Distributors – a leading beverage distributor in Wisconsin – in its territories across the rest of the state. This will serve as the first new territory expansion for Lift Bridge in five years despite 600% growth in the brand’s existing territories.

Lift Bridge offers a variety of fine craft beer, from its flagship brews, – Farm Girl Saison® and Hop Dish IPA® – to its seasonal releases and collaborations. In 2016, Lift Bridge announced several new collaborations and creative releases, proving that the brew team is dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of all things craft beer.

“As we continue to expand, we are constantly thinking of new and creative ways to approach our business,” said Brad Glynn, co-founder and COO of Lift Bridge. “Wisconsin is a natural next step for us, and we’re excited to bring our high quality beer to these markets.”

“We are excited to help welcome the wonderful people and beers from Lift Bridge to Southern Wisconsin,” said John Campbell, Sales Manager at Wisconsin Distributors.

Lift Bridge can be found in Eastern North Dakota and across Minnesota. To learn more about Lift Bridge and upcoming news, visit www.liftbridgebrewery.com.
