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 today announces the release of the second
beer from the limited-release Union Series: 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.

Boadicea Hops
