Summit Brewing Co.s Newest Unchained Series Release,
Dark Infusión: A Coffee Milk Stout
(October 12, Saint Paul, MN) Summit Brewing Company announces the release of
the brewerys first-ever coffee beer, Dark Infusión: A Coffee Milk Stout,
the twenty-third beer released in the limited edition Unchained Series. The
beer will be released with a party at Summit Beer Hall in Saint Paul on
Saturday, October 22, from 6-10 p.m. Dark Infusión will then be available on
draught and in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans starting the last week of October.
For his first Unchained Series beer, brewer Pete Stacy crafted a sweet stout
made even more complex and bold with the infusion of cold brewed coffee. For
the coffee, Pete worked with Saint Pauls <http://www.blackeyeroasting.co/>
Blackeye Roasting Co to create a custom blend of Brazilian and Colombian
varieties.
The best part of brewing this beer was learning about the coffee industry
first-hand: sourcing and importing beans from all over the world, analyzing
for quality, and then blending coffee varieties to perfectly fit the profile
of my sweet milk stout, said brewer Pete Stacy.
The Dark Infusión Release Party at Summit Beer Hall will include the release
on tap as well as in cans. Blackeye Roasting Co will provide samples of
their cold brew coffee for people to experience side-by-side with the beer.

Unchained Series
Launched in 2009, the rotating Unchained Series gives Summit brewers the
opportunity to explore their craft and brew a unique beer outside of the
brewerys year-round portfolio. Were fortunate to have eight phenomenal
brewers at Summit, said Mark Stutrud, founder and president of Summit
Brewing Company. The Unchained Series is a way for our brewers to showcase
their artistry. There are no budgetary restraints, no outside influences
from a sales team, and the brewers are free to collect ingredients from
anywhere in the world. As long as its legal, they have complete autonomy.
