FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Summit to open Tap Room at its St. Paul brewery
ST. PAUL, Minn. - (Sept. 19, 2012) - Summit Brewing Company will start Tap
Room hours at its brewery "Ratskeller" on Fridays from 3-8 p.m., beginning
Sept. 28. The Tap Room opening will feature a half-barrel of Export Stout
from the pilot brewery and music from Hotpants DJs. Barrio will be selling
tacos on Summit's patio.
"As St. Paul's first tap room, we're excited to continue our focus on the
community and bring more people into the brewery to experience what Summit
is all about," said Mark Stutrud, Summit's founder. "Tap rooms are a step
in
the right direction for Minnesota breweries; it's a return to tradition and
historical experiences."
All of Summit's current beers will be available in the Tap Room as well as
cask-conditioned and specialty beers made with the brewery's pilot system.
The brewery's patio space above the Mississippi bluffs will be open during
public Tap Room hours, weather permitting. Food trucks will be parked in the
Summit lot and will be announced weekly via Summit's website and social
media accounts. Summit will also add tours at 1 p.m. on Fridays, which will
begin on a date to be announced later.
The Ratskeller space is currently offered twice per week to community and
nonprofit groups, and by limiting the Tap Room hours to Fridays, Summit will
continue that community-focused culture.
