Don't waste your time or money. If you're in the area Oliphant, Pitchfork, or Liftbridge are all solid.
When I saw this post my first thought was "didn't they close". So yeah. I haven't heard much about Maple Island but what I have heard was pretty terrible. Here are Al's words... http://thebitternib.blogspot.com/2016/02/minnesota-breweries-one-by-one-12-maple.html
It is a shame that such an ideal spot in downtown Stillwater on the river is pretty much being wasted.
A quick search of the forum tells me there's a fair amount of feedback so far (and a couple of Staples Mill comparisons.) Not surprised they're doing okay: Downtown Stillwater is jumpin' on the weekends, meaning there's a good chance they see foot traffic in warmer months.
Lift Bridge should shut down the current taproom and find a satellite taproom closer to downtown Stillwater
Was there recently and found things have "slightly" improved. Not close to being in the same neighborhood as Liftbridge, but a tich better than my horrible initial impression of them. But as others have said they are downtown and a lot of people don't know better.
