We first told you about Summit’s new in-between seasonal offering, Frost Line Rye back in October. We’re excited to say that you should start seeing it this week. For those of you playing along at home, this beer is Summit’s fifth, tucked nicely in between Winter Ale and Maibock (..shhh! Hold that thought. I know some of you have already seen Maibock in spring samplers.).

Here’s what Damian had to say about the beer: “We’ve had our four seasonal brews for a long time, but as these winters seem to get longer and longer, we thought we would introduce a beer that helps folks make it to spring with their sanity intact.”

Earlier reports suggested that this beer was inspired in-part by Mike Lundell’s Unchained 3: India Style Rye Ale. Frost Line Rye will highlight the earthiness and spice from several varieties of rye and unique hops. Look for a little citrus, some floral notes and a bitter & dry finish.

How ’bout we drink some today?

Deets:
Malts: US pale, US pale rye, US caramel rye, German chocolate rye, US flaked rye
Hops: Summit, Citra, dry-hopped: Citra, Experimental hop #01210
ABV: 5.8%
IBUs: 55

Look at this sweet little label! We twisted a few arms and learned some more (emphasis mine):

Frost Line Rye is our new “between-seasons” seasonal release for the bitter cold late winter months, planned for release in mid-January between our Winter Ale and Maibock. Beer lovers in the Upper Midwest know that that time of year is a beast all its own and requires a beer that brings a bit of warmth and comfort. Inspired in-part by Mike Lundell’s Unchained 3: India Style Rye Ale, Frost Line Rye will highlight the earthiness and spice from several varieties of rye and unique hops. This is going to be a great beer to help fight off the deep freeze while longing for the spring thaw. More details to be released in the coming months at Summit Brewing Company’s website, Facebook and Twitter.
