In everything we do from our beer to our future food, we challenge the idea that tradition is destined to be broken and that perfection is bad. Exclusivity means exclusion, and we live to share. We are creative thinkers who design and brew fiendishly good, traditional beers which challenge traditional thinking —these are great beers that are supporting a lively and diverse community through sharing, education, and unwavering quality.
Community
We work to build an inclusive community of beer and food enthusiasts.
Collaboration
We strive to build relationships and collaborate with our community organizations to help fight poverty, food insecurity, and social injustice.
Trust
We maintain a community gathering space where everyone may come to learn about beer, share a pint, and share a story in a safe, inviting environment.
Honesty/Integrity
We are honest, even when it is difficult. We listen and seek first to understand.
Respect
We treat everyone with dignity, regardless of background or differences.
Excellence
We nurture our talent for unusually good products and strive to surpass ordinary standards. We shall share no beer before its time.
The Starters
Teri and Keith are a wife-and-husband team who share a common love of food and craft beverages, whether they be beer, wine, or spirits. They have been homebrewing for over twenty years, and while other homebrewers were experimenting with recipes – mainly hops and unusual ingredients – they spent the vast majority of their homebrewing careers perfecting their technique and refining their understanding of what makes an exceptional beer.
Ever since their first visit to Brussels in 2005, they have endeavored to perfect these time-tested beer styles. This has lead to a home brewery reminiscent of commercial operations, including conical fermenters and glycol chillers.
After years of searching for a suitable brewery location, Teri and Keith purchased the assets of Hops & Seed Brewing Co in March, 2025, from JM Cellars.

Our Portfolio
LIBRARY SECTION!Toll Bridge's products are high quality, easy-drinking, and “Fiendishly Good.” Our initial product offering contains a selection of beers chosen from our library. Although, our main focus is on our Belgian styles, we have a diverse portfolio of tastes. The beers listed are beers we have worked on perfecting over 22 years. We will continue to develope our small portfolio of unique beers containing bread with freshly milled flours for the bigger system, our homage to the importance of bread as both foodstuff and ancient brewing ingredient.
We are also developing several non-alcoholic beverages as well for our non-drinking friends.
Belgian-style Blond
Belgian-style blonde ale with a low but pleasing hop bitterness and low malt aroma that has a spiced and sometimes fruity ester character. It is medium in sweetness and not as bitter as its sibling. It is balanced between light sweetness, spice, and low to medium fruity ester flavors.
7.0% ABV • 28 IBU
Abbey-style Single
Abbey-style single. Its name is French, meaning “six lanes.” The beer is a slightly sweet blonde ale, with the typical fruitiness of Belgian yeast. Not-so-typical (but not IPA) hoppiness finishes this refreshingly bright Belgian-inspired Abbey-style single.
6.0% ABV • 40 IBU
Belgian-style Dubbel with Bread
Belgian-style dubbel with a malty sweetness and cocoa and caramel aromas and flavors. Its hop bitterness is medium-low to medium. Yeast-generated fruity esters (especially banana) are balanced by extended lagering times. Bread using freshly milled heirloom wheat contributes a unique spicy character and a smoother mouthfeel.
8.3% ABV • 26 IBU
Belgian-style Tripel
Belgian-style tripel with a mild spicy flavor and a yeast-driven complexity. This one is on the higher end of the ABV spectrum, yet is very approachable to many different palates.
9.2% ABV • 39 IBU
Saison with Apricot [seasonal]
Belgian-style saison with some yeast character and high carbonation, a slight Brettanomyces/lactic character, and fruity aromas and flavors. Apricot puree is added to enhance the fruity characteristics of the yeast.
5.8% ABV • 22 IBU
Belgian-style Golden Strong Ale
Belgian-style golden strong ale, the pilsner of Belgium. It has the traditional characteristic spiciness from the Belgian yeast and a highly attenuated, dry finish.
9.5% ABV • 26 IBU
Belgian-inspired IPA
"Belgian" IPA with a heavenly taste, slightly aromatic and refreshingly fruity due to the use of four hop varieties. The yeast lends a nice spiciness reminiscent of our Teuflisch Golden Strong Ale.
7% ABV • 61 IBU
Classic American Pilsner
A delicious historical reproduction of the Classic American Pilsner, this pilsner has a beautiful, full, golden color and a long-lasting, thick, creamy head. Its full flavor, with modest maltiness, is bolstered by the subtle sweetness of corn. The beer's yeast character is balanced by a well-defined hop bitterness. It has a long, clean, subtly bitter finish.
5.5% ABV • 42 IBU
Seasonal Porters
A robust porter featuring a bitter and roasted malt flavor reminiscent of cocoa. Its caramel and malty sweetness balances with the sharp bitterness of black malt. The hop bitterness is evident and some diacetyl is present at very low levels. The twist? A seasonal “Pumpernickel Porter” brewed with a Bavarian-style 100% rye bread made from freshly milled grain.
6.2% ABV • 40 IBU
Flagship American Strong Ale w/Rye
A strong Rye IPA, this beer is decidedly hoppy without being overly bitter. This is definitely a true Northwest IPA with the addition of a significant amount of rye malt. The balance is hop-forward, with a clean fermentation profile, dry finish, and clean, supporting malt flavors, allowing a creative range of hop character to shine through. It is drier and spicier than typical IPAs.
8.2% ABV • 64 IBU
West Coast IPA
Inspired by a brewery in Waimea, HI, and Kirkland, WA, this traditional West Coast IPA is characterized by a balanced floral, fruity hop character. The IPA is all about hop flavor, aroma and a moderate bitterness.
7.6% ABV • 67 IBU
German-Style Black Lager
German-style Schwarzbier, or black lager. It is drier, darker and more roast-oriented than the dubbel. It has a nice, surprisingly pale-colored foam head and a mild roasted malt character without the associated bitterness. Its malt flavor and aroma is at low to medium levels of sweetness.
4.5% ABV • 40 IBU
Seasonal
Also called a “hellerbock” (meaning “lighter bock”), this German-style Maibock has a dominant malt-rich profile with lightly toasted and bready malt character with a pleasant caramel finish. Watch for our roasted habanero-infused seasonal!
8.0% ABV • 41 IBU
Scottish-style Wee-Heavy [seasonal]
Strong Scotch Ale with fruity, malty aromas leading to plummy vanilla flavors, finishing with a touch of oaky earthiness which nicely balances the dark malt nuttiness. One sip and you will not want to share it!
9.0% ABV • 38 IBU
Flight or Pint
This ginger ale "flight" features three different ginger syrups: fresh ginger, fresh galangal, and a house blend. Blend your own or have a pint of the house blend.
NON-AL
Housemade Cream Soda
One of our special housemade sodas, the first of many planned.
