by

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – Indeed Brewing Company announces the release of a new IPA Variety Pack, Hop Parade. Like any great parade, the pack puts on display the best of what the brewing team at Indeed has to offer in a colorful collection of flavor-packed IPAs. Hop Parade includes a range of brews, from a 3.8% ABV session IPA dubbed Modern Age to the comeback of Indeed’s first ever IPA, Let It Ride. The Hop Parade Variety 12-Pack is now available year-round throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota.

“Enjoy the full spectrum of hop flavors in this pack, from lush to dank, fruity to herbal,” said Ryan Bandy, Director of Experience at Indeed Brewing Company. “This pack was curated for hop lovers of all kinds.”

A parade, at its heart, is a celebration. With something for every IPA lover, this baton-twirling, trumpet-sounding variety pack is perfect for bringing to your next celebratory gathering. In the pack, find the following:

Flavorwave IPA (6.2% ABV): Brewed with fruity, juicy Centennial, Mosaic & Citra hops. Flavorwave IPA is the Grand Marshall of this parade.

Modern Age Session IPA (3.8% ABV): Big on flavor, low in alcohol. This session IPA marches to the beat of its own drum with flavors of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Strata hops.

Blue Dream Honey IPA (6.4% ABV): Brewed with honey and Simcoe, Altus and Mosaic hops, Blue Dream Hazy IPA invites you to float along with dreamy clouds of dank hop aroma and flavor.

Let it Ride India Pale Ale (6.8% ABV): Let it Ride all the way down the parade route. Indeed’s original IPA is brewed with an unfettered blend of Mosaic, Calypso and El Dorado hops.

Find the Hop Parade IPA Variety Pack, with colorful carton packaging and artwork designed by Minneapolis-based artist Chuck U, in your favorite craft beer aisle in Wisconsin or Minnesota.

Oh My Kölsch! There’s a New Summit Lake Crusher!

by

ST. PAUL, Minnesota – Spring is here, and Summit Brewing Co. is already looking forward to Summer with the introduction of the new Lake Crusher Mixed Berry to extend the summer seasonal brand and round out the Crusher Series Combo Pack.

The new Lake Crusher Mixed Berry extends Summit’s Crusher Series of Kölsch Style Ales that currently tickle your tastebuds with Cabin Crusher with Lime, Cabin Crusher with Lemon and Lake Crusher Tangerine. The popular summer brew, Cabin Crusher Kölsch-Style Ale with Lime came to the scene in 2019 and has been a summer time staple ever since. Building on the success of Cabin Crusher with Lime Summit introduced Cabin Crusher with Lemon, Lake Crusher with Tangerine and now Lake Crusher Mixed Berry. Each beer in the Crusher Series is brewed in the traditional Kölsch style, a light ale featuring aromas of honey and biscuit. A combination of Lemon Drop and Loral hops with the addition of fruit create beer that welcomes warmer weather. Its effervescent mouthfeel and smooth finish make it a highly easy-drinking ale. Perfect for hot summer days on land or lakes in cabin country, it’s brewed to be crushable.

“The Crusher Series is a great opportunity for us to experiment with flavors that are both complimenting to and enhanced by this crisp, refreshing Kölsch style ale. Mixed Berry was a natural next variety, continuing to offer a beer first experience with a subtle berry finish,” said Damian McConn, Chief Brewing Officer. “It’s an easy beer to enjoy during those sunny summer days when the only place you want to be is outside with a cold beer in hand.”

Not only will Lake Crusher Mixed Berry be available in 12-packs of 12oz cans, but you can get all four of Summit’s Crusher Series varieties in this year’s Crusher Combo Pack beginning May 2023. The Crusher Pack will include three of each of the Crusher Series beers – Cabin Crusher with Lime, Cabin Crusher with Lemon, Lake Crusher Tangerine and Lake Crusher Mixed Berry.

Director of sales, Brandon Bland is excited about the new Lake Crusher Mixed Berry because, “Lake Crusher Mixed Berry lets us offer a refreshing mixed pack for the summer and extends Summit’s offering in the craft brewing landscape. The Crusher Series itself allows us to keep the traditional brewing methods our business was established on and explore new flavors to connect with consumers looking for something refreshing.”

Lake Crusher Mixed Berry Kölsch-Style Ale is available now in 12-packs of 12oz cans and as part of the Crusher Series Combo Pack in stores May 2023. All four of the Crusher Series varieties will also be available on draft exclusively at Summit’s Ratskeller located at 910 Montreal Circle in St. Paul, MN.
