Summit Kolsch Release and Tasting

By Eric on August 7, 2009in beer events, beer stores, free beer

Big week coming up for Summit, as their much-anticipated Kolsch hits shelves. Get a preview this Tuesday at the Four Firkins….

The week of August 10, Summit will be kicking off their new series of limited release beers called the Unchained Series. The series is an opportunity for their brewers to show off their skills and creativity. Each beer in the series will be presented by an individual brewer-the style is their choice and they are running the show! Perfectly paired for warm summer days, the first beer to be featured is a Kölsch, presented by Brewer Mike “the Miz” Miziorko. Brewed in the traditional German style, our Kölsch will be light, crisp, and refreshing. These beers will only be around for a short time!

Come down to the Firkins on Tuesday the 11th at 6:00pm and meet Mike, the brewer. Pick his brain about this ultra traditional Kolsch as you sample some!

The beer will be available for sale too, it’ll be in six packs. See you on Tuesday night!
