We will have contests, prizes, classic carnival games, live music, great food and of course Lift Bridge Beer. You can purchase tickets to the event and pre-order the 2012 Commander™.

About the Beer

This is the 2012 vintage of The Commander™. For those who haven’t tried it from last year, it is our English-Style Barleywine ale brewed with excessive malt and subtle, sweet cardamom. We aged in bourbon barrels, its bold, complex flavor reaches heights measured only by the building of its namesake. This 12.5% ABV treat is best enjoyed in smaller portions when you have some time to savor it,between now and 2021. The barrels were shipped directly from Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky shortly after they were emptied.
