Summit’s Extra Pale Ale is a great go-to beer, able to be found at nearly any establishment ’round these parts, but have you had it on cask? You’re chance is coming up next month at the Eagan location of Old Chicago.
With the number of beer pairing dinners Summit has been offering, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to find one on a date that works for you and a restaurant you like, or have been meaning to try out. Especially when they’ve set dates all the way out as far as November.
