There are only two tickets left for the Monday, June 13th Saints game. We've disabled the online purchasing option, so you have to e-mail me to find out if you can go. I MIGHT be able to get more tickets near where the original fifty are located, but no promises. John

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Summit Releases 30th Anniversary Keller Pils
The second in a series of four anniversary brews
ST. PAUL, Minn. (May 18, 2016) Summit Brewing Company
<http://www.summitbrewing.com/> today announces the release of 30th
Anniversary Keller Pils. The second beer in a series of four anniversary
brews will be available on draught and in six-packs and 12-packs of 12-ounce
cans the week of May 16.
The 30th Anniversary Series seeks to showcase the unique qualities and
attributes that have helped drive Summit forward over the last three
decades. A belief in tradition and progress, innovation and heritage, and
above all, an uncompromising approach to quality and consistency have been
integral in Summits approach to brewing great beer. Along the way, great
partnerships have developed into great friendships, with suppliers,
distributors, retailers and customers.
Summits 30th Anniversary Keller Pils seeks to highlight the unique flavor
characteristics associated with a classic German pilsner malt, while
recognizing the contributions to craft brewing and support for Summit from a
celebrated German craft maltster. Combining that classic pilsner malt with
traditional and modern German hop varieties in Summits copper brewhouse has
allowed its brewers to produce a superb German-style pilsner, served
unfiltered to allow for more flavor and character in the final glass.
The Weyermann Specialty Malting Company, located in Bamberg, Germany, has
been supplying Summit with specialty malts for many years. Weyermann has
made a concerted effort to safeguard the future of the Barke variety, one of
the most unique malting barley varieties and perfect for artisanal craft
beers. Although superseded by more modern, higher-yielding cultivars, Barke
contributes malty-sweet and honey undertones, and is particularly sought
after as a base for classical pilsners.
Summit has combined the flavor elements of Barke malt with the Tettnang hop,
a slightly spicy and traditional noble hop variety, supplied to Summit from
Minnesota-based Brewers Supply Group. A final addition of the recently
developed Hallertau Melon hop variety, supplied from Germany by S.S.
Steiner, provides a hint of gentle citrus in the final beer.
Wyeast Laboratories, based in Oregon, sourced a traditional private
collection Munich lager yeast strain, the final element required to create a
classical German pils. Two weeks of cool fermentation followed by six weeks
of cold maturation help provide outstanding drinkability and complexity.
For our anniversary year, we wanted to focus on the three C's of quality:
consistency, creativity and community, said head brewer Damian McConn. By
working closely with our malt, hop and yeast suppliers, were able to
produce four special beers that exemplify this motto.
