This creative beer’s warm tan color, malty base and natural flavors are reminiscent of a fresh State Fair mini donut. This sweet summer sipper has enough rich flavor not to overwhelm the palate. Each glass is served rimmed with cinnamon sugar to enhance the aromas. 5% ABV. Brewed in Stillwater, Minn., by Lift Bridge Brewing Company.

Location: Ball Park Cafe (Underwood Street between Dan Patch Avenue and Carnes Avenue)

A refreshing squeeze of key lime in a light biscuity golden ale, sweetened with a touch of lactose and rimmed with green sugar. Why eat pie when you can drink it? 4.5% ABV, 13 IBUs. Brewed in Stillwater, Minn., by Lift Bridge Brewing Company.

Location: Café Caribe (Carnes Avenue between Chambers Street and Nelson Street)

Other Lift Bridge beers that will be sold at the fair include the Farm Girl, Hop Dish, Juice-Z NE IPA, Mango Blonde, and the BOMB hard seltzer.
