Summit 25th Anniversary Beer

Summit Silver AnniversarySummit celebrates 25 years of beer this year. Many of us have fond memories of our first Summit… For me, that was likely sometime around ’94 when I cracked open a 6-pack box of Extra Pale Ale and enjoyed what had to be one of the hoppiest beers I’d ever tasted. (Of course in college and younger Busch & Budweiser were a bit more readily available.)

In any case, what better way to celebrate 25 years with a special release? Summit’s Silver Anniversary beer is an assertively hopped version of their flagship EPA. The beer will be brewed with 2 row and crystal malts, American ale yeast and Citra, Centennial and Cascade hops and weighs in at 6.5% abv and 80 IBUs. I’m looking forward to trying this… and forward to another 25 years of Summit. Congrats guys!

Release dates to come. As always, watch this space!

    I was hoping for an english style barleywine personally, but really, this is more fitting and makes a lot more sense. Can’t wait for it!

    Darn them for not using my idea of selling 25-packs for the 25th anniversary. Looking forward to checking this brew out though.

    Outstanding, reminds be of Bells double hearted ale. Very Very good.
