I guess my only issue is, as we plan our brewery expansion, we will lose some party space. So, let's tear up the grass for the next few years.”  Turns out, our expansion only made the party better! It was with great pride we opened up the doors to our brand new cellar and shared that beautiful, cool (literally), space with all the party goers. And the aforementioned grass? We got rid of the big tent and made it an open air affair, so there was plenty of grass tearing to go around. We had a great time partying in the sun with all of you. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the success of our brewery is due to you, our loyal customers. Thank you for celebrating 27 years with us.  READ MORE » (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=57zzztoab.0.4qvivwoab.cgp6o8bab.0&ts=S0967&…) **///////// NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS ////////** VIDEO VAULT We recently unearthed a couple of news story videos from the Summit archives and posted them to our YouTube page.

GREEN PARTY We’re proud to report that with 2,400 attendees at our Backyard Bash, we only generated 78.6 pounds of trash–that’s less than a half an ounce of trash per person, or approximately the same weight as seven beer bottle caps!
