Summit’s Position in Pints at the Brewery, Clarified

By on February 24, 2011in breweries

Summit clarified Mark Stutrud’s position on selling pints on premise at breweries in Minnesota. The Strib piece we mentioned earlier (here, in fact) say on their Facebook page this afternoon:

We fully support the idea of selling pints on premise at breweries. In fact, Summit Pres Mark Stutrud & Ted Marti of Schell’s have been quietly building alliances to promote this legislation for several years. As we continue to work to be able to sell beer at our breweries, we still support the 3-tier system. Our hope is to work together w/ all pertinent parties to open up new opportunities for breweries in MN.

Harriet Dark Abbey Release, Tap Room Opening

By on February 24, 2011in beer events, breweries, free beer

Stop by the new Harriet Brewing tap room this Saturday afternoon for your first chance to pick up a growler of their Dark Abbey.

It’s been featured on our homepage for weeks… Now come taste our newest release!

· Also on tap is our West Side Belgian-Style IPA ($12) & new fills ($12 + $5 deposit).

· City law allows only Harriet Brewing growlers to be filled on the premises. Sorry, we can’t fill other folks’ growlers.

We are also happy to announce the opening of Harriet’s Tasting Room this Saturday!

Enter through the front door from this Saturday onwards.

WED & FRI GROWLER SALES:

Growler sales of current beers continue each Wed & Fri from 4-7pm including this Fri, Feb 25. NOTE: enter through the back door this Fri. After this Fri, our Tasting Room will be open, and you can enter through the front door right on Minnehaha Ave.

PARKING:

Parking is available in our own lot located on the south side of the Harriet Brewing building.

Beer Notes:

Harriet’s Dark Abbey is our tribute to the classic Belgian Dubbel. It pours brown with a persistent off-white head. Hints of chocolate and toast accent the beer’s malt-forward character. Fruity esters resembling raisins and other dried fruit are present, along with subtle spicy qualities. Medium bodied, effervescent, dry finish… remarkably drinkable.

Ingredients:

water, barley, candi, hops, yeast

ABV ~ 7%

IBU ~ 20

O.G. ~ 16.5

T.G. ~ 3
