FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Summit releases second Beer in Union Series: Rebellion Stout
Stout loosely based on 1896 recipe from Cork brewery
ST. PAUL, Minn. – (November 13, 2013) – Summit Brewing Company
(
http://www.summitbrewing.com/) today announces the release of the second beer from the
limited-release Union Series: Rebellion Stout
(
http://www.summitbrewing.com/brews/rebellion-stout) The Union Series explores the latest
malts and hops in the industry by focusing on brewing with new raw materials and
ingredients. Rebellion Stout will be available the week of November 18.
“Many famous Irish breweries originated in the coastal city of Cork,” said Damian McConn,
Head Brewer at Summit. “Due to its fiercely independent nature, Cork is known as ‘The
Rebel County’ and played a prominent role in the Irish War of Independence and Irish Civil
War. Our Rebellion Stout is loosely based on a recipe from 1896 taken from the archives of
an old Cork brewery.”
Rebellion Stout is single-hopped with Broadicea, a new UK dwarf hop named after a Celtic
queen who led the fight against the Romans. Coal black in color, the beer is brewed with
the quintessential Stout malt from County Cork, Ireland, making it a feisty stout with
spicy, floral hop notes and a hearty, roasted malt character. A huge body leads to a dry,
intensely bitter finish with flavors of mocha coffee, liquorice and black molasses.
Rebellion Stout marks the second entry in Summit’s Union series, where new and more
obscure ingredients are combined with traditional techniques to produce
limited-availability beers. While most brewers focus on the ingredients required to
produce a certain style or idea of a beer, the Union concept is based upon first acquiring
new ingredients then combining them in creative ways.
