by Al Boyce

>From Summit. a new logo! - Al From: Emily Rinde [mailto:ERinde@always-thinking.com] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 9:30 AM To: alboyce(a)comcast.net Subject: Summit Brewing Co. debuts new logo, rebranding Good morning, Al: Summit is excited to unveil its redesigned brand, debuting with the new logo (attached jpg). The logo will first be seen at the new Summit Townball Tavern at Target Field, followed by the first beer to feature the redesign - Meridian Session Ale released April 15. More information reads in the news release below. If you have any questions or would like to speak with Summit or Duffy regarding the redesign, please don't hesitate to contact me via reply email or by phone at 612-547-5030. Thanks! Emily Rinde On behalf of Summit 612-547-5030 Summit Brewing Company debuts new logo, rebranding ST. PAUL, Minn. - (Feb. 21, 2013) - Summit drinkers will begin to see a new logo and look for the brand beginning this April. The rebranding will launch April 1 during Minnesota Twins Opening Day at the newly redesigned Summit Townball Tavern and April 15 with the release of Union Series: Meridian Session Ale. "We redesigned our original logo in 1999 after Summit's new brewery opened, and with the expansion of the brewery 14 years later, we felt it was again time to update our look," said Mark Stutrud, Summit's founder. "Innovation is part of our DNA and we think this change signals that commitment while also honoring the community that built this company." Summit is partnering with local branding and design firm Duffy & Partners for the redesign of the brand, debuting with the new logo. The new look is an evolution of Summit's past two logos and carries forward the diamond shape that has been the hallmark of Summit's brand since its start in 1986. Summit Avenue, the vein running through the heart of St. Paul, is seen in the interpretation of the street sign. The new logo also honors the high quality, raw ingredients at the center of Summit's brewing tradition. "We're very excited to debut our new look at the Summit Townball Tavern during the Twins home opener," added Stutrud. "Here at Summit, we're big fans of the hometown team and what they mean to Minnesota. With this new tavern we can continue to deepen that relationship with our community." Meridian Session Ale, a beer in the new Union Series released April 15, will be the first beer to feature the redesigned bottle and packaging. The Union Series will focus on new raw materials and ingredients appearing on the brewing scene. Availability of these ingredients will dictate the schedule of each new Union Series beer. Additional information on Meridian Session Ale will be released late-March. The rebranding will rollout throughout 2013 and 2014 as Summit continues its commitment to sustainability by using up the bottles and packaging that currently exist with the past design. For additional updates, please visit www.summitbrewing.com. Summit Brewing Company Founded in St. Paul, Minn. in 1986, Summit Brewing Company has stayed close to its roots, serving the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. Summit's beers are currently available in 17 states including Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin. Summit now produces 12 varieties of premium craft beer, including seven year-round, four seasonal beers, and the limited release Unchained Series. Since its inception, the brewery has been a consistent pioneer in the craft beer movement. ###

Re: [mba] [mnbrewers] February Meeting!

by Gera Exire La Tour

Sorry I am going to be missing the meeting. I am visiting my new nephew in TN this weekend. Their event coordinator Michelle was nice enough to allow us to use the private North Star room on very short notice as a favor to me. So make sure to be nice to the wait staff. (I believe that the brewer Pio is going to try to be there Saturday.) Have fun! -Gera To: mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com; mba(a)thebarn.com From: cotemichael01(a)yahoo.com Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:46:51 -0800 Subject: [mnbrewers] February Meeting! Hello All!

Re: [mba] [mnbrewers] Surly Abrasive recipe

by Scott Haraldson

Fruits of my labor. 10 gallon batch 17 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 60.9 % 7 lbs Golden Promise (Simpsons) (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 24.4 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 3 5.2 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Oats, Golden Naked (Simpsons) (10.0 SRM) Grain 4 5.2 % 2.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 5 34.2 IBUs 1 lbs 3.5 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 6 4.2 % 3.50 oz Warrior [15.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 7 74.7 IBUs 4.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 8 0.0 IBUs 1.0 pkg English Ale (White Labs #WLP002) [35.49 ml] Yeast 9 - (2l yeast starter) 4.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 0.0 Days Hop 10 0.0 IBUs I think I could have had a little more warrior to get the same bite that Abrasive delivers. I also could have done a better job of dry hopping. I used leaf hops and didn't get them submerged as much as I could have. Color is off for a clone but the taste is really close. I'll be tweaking this one just a bit (based on Justin's recipe) and definitely brewing it again. I didn't do any of my usual tricks to try and get this one to clear more but next time around I'll give it more attention and try to clean it up some. Overall very satisfied with this brew.
