By on March 4, 2013in beer events, brewpubs, free beer

Rock Bottom has a new IPA to share with all you hop heads.

Pio brewed this ale with RB Minneapolis’s only original employee, day bartender AJ. It’s loaded with citrus hops, featuring Citra and backed up by Amarillo, Ahtanum and Centennial. 6.4% ABV – 72 IBUs

We’ll tap the beer and hand out free samples at 6pm. Pio will be around until 8pm to share this beer with you! (AJ will be in New Orleans, but give her some love when she returns!)

Brand-spanking new Summit logo

Summit will be debuting a new logo, sponsorship and beer this April. At right is Summit’s new logo, set to debut April 1st at the Minnesota Twins opening day in the newly redesigned Summit Town Ball Tavern. Summit’s new Union Series debuts April 15th with Meridian Session Ale.

This is Summit’s third take on their logo after a rebranding in 1999 with the opening of the new (current) brewery. “Innovation is part of our DNA and we think this change signals that commitment while also honoring the community that built this company.” said Summit founder Mark Stutrud.

Summit’s new Union Series is said to be inspired by the union of new ingredients and time-honored brewing traditions. We don’t have official word from the brewery just yet, we suspect that Meridian Session Ale will be in the style ballpark of a Belgian Enkel and will feature a couple of “newer” brewing ingredients, Concerto Pale Malt and Meridian hops. Official work on this beer should be confirmed in late March.

Lift Bridge Farm Girl

Lift Bridge Farm GirlIt would look that way, anyway. We stumbled upon this post on BA and figured that if MyBeerBuzz.com and Beer Advocate fans are sharing, we’ll share too.

Click to expand the artwork. The right side of the label refers to a 16 oz. silo. Very nice. I’m a fan of the artwork, too.

Obviously no release date just yet.
