Re: [mba] Summit Releases 30th Anniversary West London-Style Ale

by Al Boyce

New beer from Summit. - Al From: Harrison deGrood Sent: Wednesday, August 3, 2016 9:52 AM Subject: Summit Releases 30th Anniversary West London-Style Ale CONTACT: Chip Walton Summit Brewing Company (651) 265-7836 cwalton(a)summitbrewing.com <mailto:cwalton@summitbrewing.com> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Summit Releases West London-Style Ale as Part of 30th Anniversary Celebration Party at Brit's Pub Aug. 7 to commemorate brewery's birthday ST. PAUL, Minn. (Aug. 3, 2016) - Summit Brewing Company <http://www.summitbrewing.com/> today announces the release of 30th Anniversary West London-Style Ale <http://www.summitbrewing.com/brews/30th-Anniversary-West-London-Style-Ale> , the third of four celebratory beers in the brewery's 30th Anniversary Series. The beer will be released at a Summit 30th Anniversary Celebration from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7 at Brit's Pub in downtown Minneapolis. The event will feature the inaugural tapping of West London-Style Ale served alongside other Summit favorites, plus live music by Freddie Manton & The Southsiders and Hard Day's Night Beatles Tribute Band. West London-Style Ale will then be available on draught and in six- and 12-packs of 12-ounce cans the second week of August. Combining the classic Maris Otter ale malt with traditional and modern hop varieties, head brewer Damian McConn produced a sophisticated yet highly-drinkable British-Style Best Bitter. It is medium-bodied with toasty, graham cracker malt flavors, complemented with hop flavors and aromas of loganberry, redcurrant, grapefruit and lime. "The 30th Anniversary Series showcases the unique qualities and attributes that have helped drive Summit forward over the last three decades," said McConn. "We kicked off the series early in the year with a powerful Double IPA, followed up in late spring with a classical German Keller Pils, and now we're staying across the pond as we enter August with a thirst-quenching session ale packed with flavor. West London-Style Ale presents complexity, character and drinkability in a low ABV beer with an assertive hop profile that doesn't overwhelm beer lovers."

Many of you have indicated you're planning to attend. Thanks for responding and looking forward to seeing you at El Rancho Manana.

If you're still deciding, look toward the bottom of this e-mail for full camp out details. MASTER OF MALT INFO FROM DICK Hi all, With the Minnesota All-club Campout coming up, I thought I better send out a reminder about the Master of Malt Competition. As most of you know, since the first year of the Minnesota All Club Campout there has been the Master of Malt competition. This is a low key competition that takes place on Saturday afternoon at the Campout. Each club can submit one entry for each of the four categories Open Ale, Open Lager, Open Belgian and Open Mead. The winner of those categories will go to a best of show to award the Master of Malt trophy. You can deliver your beer in whatever container you wish, bottles, growlers, carbonators or keg, but you will need to supply enough for 2 rounds of judging. I am also reminding last years winners to return the traveling trophies (either in person or send them with someone) for each of the categories so they can be passed on this year. Hope to see you all at the Campout, if you have any questions feel free to contact me or others who have attended before. CAMP OUT DETAILS Friday through Sunday August 5-7 El Rancho Manana 27302 Ranch Road Richmond, MN 56368 (Near Cold Springs, not far from St. Cloud) Keep reading for more campout details: Please let me know ahead of time of you're planning on coming. This will help us plan, especially for Saturday dinner. E-Mail tsarne(a)msn.com <mailto:tsarne@msn.com> to indicate your plan to attend, at least a week in advance would be appreciated.

The win is recorded forever in history for your club AND you get to spend a full year with the prestigious Master of Malt trophy.

Sometime in the lull between the Master of Malt competition and dinner we will get together and break out some sour beers. It is a very casual thing. Bring and share if you like sours. * Bloody Mary Mornings (okay, maybe early afternoon for later risers): Some of us like to start the day with a good Bloody Mary (remember the old saying, "you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.") This is another low key event, if you would like to begin your day this way, bring your own mix and vodka to begin, but also bring one Bloody Mary Builder to share with the group (pickles, beef sticks, cheese, celery, the list is endless). Let's see how creative we can get. * Saturday Dinner: Saturday's dinner will be prepared and hosted by the Cloudy Town Brewers and Northern Alestars. This years dinner will be pulled pork with salad and desserts to accompany. So we can plan for dinner pleased indicate your participation by e-mailing <mailto:tsarne@msn.com> tsarne(a)msn.com
