Summit Silver Anniversary Release Parties

Summit is celebrating its 25th anniversary and there are three four parties planned where you’ll not only get a chance to drink their Silver Anniversary Ale, but to get a darn good deal on it as well.

July 25
5:00 – 7:00 pm
Mackenzie
The first 25 beers poured will be complimentary. Then until 7:00, $.25 taps.

7:30 – 9:00 pm
Liquor Lyle’s
Mark Stutrud will be your guest bartender, serving up $.25 taps of Silver Anniversary Ale and 2-4-1’s on all other Summit beers.

July 26
Groveland Tap
Not sure the details on this party but if the other two are any indication, I’d put money on $.25 taps.

July 28
Sweeney’s Saloon
A little foggy on the details here, too, but there will be “specials.”
