In 2012 the Bash raised over $18,000 for the MMC. An additional hour-long set has been added to the lineup this year to bring in more Minnesota music fans and help break last year’s fundraising record. “The Backyard Bash is one of our favorite days of the year,” said Mark Stutrud, president and founder of Summit Brewing Company. “It’s a day for the community to celebrate the terrific music from independent Minnesota musicians. We’re absolutely thankful for all of the Summit fans, the Minnesota Music Coalition, and our partners at The Current for making this event possible.”  The Backyard Bash will include performances by local bands Secret Stash Soul Revue (http://secretstashrecords.com/twin-cities-funk-and-soul/#sthash.YQ6RBOSY.oz…) (featuring The Valdons, Sonny Knight, Jackie Harris and Wanda Davis), Haley Bonar (http://haleybonar.com/) (full band), The New Standards (http://www.thenewstandards.com/) Lizzo (http://totallygrossnationalproduct.com/artists/lizzo) (featuring Lazerbeak (http://www.doomtree.net/lazerbeak/)) Night Moves (http://nightmovesmpls.com/) Charlie Parr and friends (http://www.charlieparr.com/) and Hotpants DJs (https://www.facebook.com/HotpantsMpls?hc_location=stream) David Campbell from 89.3 The Current will emcee the event, along with Ellen Stanley from the MMC. Local restaurants will be onsite and, of course, plenty of Summit beer varieties will be on tap, including specialty cask beer tappings throughout the day.

Jenga wood for campout

by Michael Behrendt

Unfortunately, I'll be missing the campout this year..I think I've been to everyone since that 'hot' one down south when we visited Minnesota Malting. So, if anyone can bring some 'Jenga' wood, I'm sure it would be appreciated. If you don't know what it is, it started with small cutoffs from my workshop..relatively little pieces that people can use to build a Jenga tower inside a burning fire. Yes, it's crazy! Thanks! //Mike Behrendt

Summit Brewing Company releases Unchained Batch 13: Another IPA

by Ryan Benson

Hi Al, I'm writing on behalf of Summit Brewing Company<http://www.summitbrewing.com/> to share the latest limited release beer in the Unchained Series: Another IPA<http://www.summitbrewing.com/brews/another-ipa> (Batch 13) As a reminder, each batch in the Unchained Series gives one of the eight brewers at Summit the opportunity to showcase their artistry. There are no budgetary constraints, no outside influences from a sales team, and the brewers are free to collect ingredients from anywhere in the world. As long as it's legal, they are given complete autonomy. I attached a news release with more information about Another IPA. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks for your time, Al! Have a good Thursday, Ryan Benson On Behalf of Summit Brewing Company rbenson(a)always-thinking.com<applewebdata://61257589-8998-4C0F-B72E-BD6341529E1D/aoeth@always-thinking.com> P: 612-547-5030
