BEER & BOOZE

Earth Rider Festbier

The life of the party! Earth Rider’s Munich-style Festbier is a golden lager with bready malt character and subdued floral-hop aroma.

Superior Pale Ale

Brewed for Northlanders who live near the greatest lake. American hops lend citrus notes to this crisp, clean, and easy drinking pale.

Caribou Lake IPA

Hop aromas of pine and berry harken to lakes of the far North. A prominent malt backbone balances moderate hop bitterness.

North Tower Stout

Gold and Bronze medal winner at the World Beer Cup in the Oatmeal Stout category (Bronze 2018 & Gold 2022). Malty accents of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit are balanced with a restrained hop presence in this stouthearted ale.

2024 Cedar Sour Red

Allouez Amber was the base for this mixed-fermentation sour. Cedar Sour Red was allowed months of secondary fermentation in a French Oak barrel with the addition of bacteria and brettanomyces yeasts. Cedar blocks added for an earthiness and warm woody tone to the lightly tart dark-fruit flavors.

Tap Shack

Let the sun shine. Bright, crisp and refreshing with a touch of lime zest to elevate any day.

2024 Cedar Sour Red

Allouez Amber was the base for this mixed-fermentation sour. Cedar Sour Red was allowed months of secondary fermentation in a French Oak barrel with the addition of bacteria and brettanomyces yeasts. Cedar blocks added for an earthiness and warm woody tone to the lightly tart dark-fruit flavors.

G&T Inspired Seltzer

Our brewers partnered with Vikre Distillery to develop the flavor profiles for this delicious G&T cocktail style seltzer.

Specialty Fest Only Seltzer Infusions

Enjoy a fun variety of specialty infused alcoholic seltzers served up 'to order' by our brew-ologist.

Hop Water

Refresh yourself! This sparkling hop water satisfies your hop fix without the calories. Made with fresh Lake Superior water infused with Idaho 7 and Sultana hops.

Full Bar & More!

Enjoy an additional array of festival only beers, specialty seltzers & this year we offer a full bar (a first for Earth Rider Fest!)

LOJO RUSSO

Lojo Russo has been making music along the ‘Big Muddy’ for most of her life. Born in California she likes to keep the river to her East and currently calls the Quad Cities (IA) home - performing mostly as a solo touring artist. But, most of her childhood and early adult years were spent in and around the Twin Cities (MN) music scene.

Self-taught on guitar and voice Russo spent her formative years in different bands in the Twin Cities (MN) playing guitar, bass and mandolin in all sots of folk, funk, jazz, jam, Irish and indie bands. The range of genres gave her a broader understanding of the music she played and a deeper understanding of the music she wanted to create. Those early years earned Russo a nomination for a "Mammy" (MN Music Award) for "Best Folk Artist" and the title of "Best Female Artist" from MN Women's Press.
