Brand-spanking new Summit logo
Summit will be debuting a new logo, sponsorship and beer this April. At right is Summit’s new logo, set to debut April 1st at the Minnesota Twins opening day in the newly redesigned Summit Town Ball Tavern. Summit’s new Union Series debuts April 15th with Meridian Session Ale.
This is Summit’s third take on their logo after a rebranding in 1999 with the opening of the new (current) brewery. “Innovation is part of our DNA and we think this change signals that commitment while also honoring the community that built this company.” said Summit founder Mark Stutrud.
Summit’s new Union Series is said to be inspired by the union of new ingredients and time-honored brewing traditions. We don’t have official word from the brewery just yet, we suspect that Meridian Session Ale will be in the style ballpark of a Belgian Enkel and will feature a couple of “newer” brewing ingredients, Concerto Pale Malt and Meridian hops. Official work on this beer should be confirmed in late March.

Remember me?
August Schell Brewing Co.releases the 7th beer in their Stag Series, an American Barleywine, next week. They brewed about 200bbl of the beer and each of the 100 bbl brews required two separate mashes of over 6,000 pounds of malt. They added 150 pounds of hop, fermented it with American Ale yeast and aged it for three+ months. Now it’s your turn. Schell’s says to expect “an amped up malt flavor, high alcohol (9.5% ABV) and heaping amounts of citrusy American hops.” Look for this beer starting February 28th.
