Indeed Brewing/ Northbound Smokhouse Collaboration Beer Release

Indeed/Northbound Hot Box

The collaborative beer is the is like the split 7″ of the punk rock world. That being said, perhaps I need to play my copy of the split from The Strike and Dillinger Four while I sample this particular beer.

Indeed Brewing Co. and Northbound Smokehouse have collaborated on a beer aptly named Hot Box, an Imperial Smoked Pepper Porter. Say that five times fast while listening to jam bands in the brewhouse! The recipe was designed by Smokehouse brewer and owner Jamie Robinson and Indeed head brewer Josh Bischoff and brewed at Indeed with malt and peppers smoked at Northbound.

You can get your hands on some starting at 3pm today (Monday) at Northbound Smokehouse or Thursday at Indeed. Limited bottles will be available for sale at Indeed as well.

Summit’s Damian McConn Promoted to Head Brewer

Very cool. Our friend and all-around good guy Damian McConn has been promoted to head brewer at Summit Brewing Co.! I’m always happy to see Damian’s smiling face whenever I run into him, but perhaps more importantly, I happen to really enjoy drinking his beers! McConn has been with Summit since 2003 and previous to that spent time as a head brewer at the sorely missed Sherlock’s Home in Minnetonka.  Congrats Damian!
