(St. Paul, MN) – Summit Brewing is set to release its third beer in the Summit Unchained Series. Summit India-style Rye Ale by Brewer, Mike Lundell, uses at least four varieties of rye and features Summit and Citra hops.

Lundell will appear at a number of release parties the first week of March:

March 1: Jersey’s in Inver Grove Heights at 8pm
March 4: Muddy Pig in St. Paul at 6pm
March 5: Tracy’s in Mpls at 7pm
March 11: Shamrock’s in St. Paul at 6pm

According to the official Summit Brewing website, “The [Unchained Series] is an opportunity for our 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!”

Summit IRA is the latest in a slew of beers with rye as a feature component coming out this year and begs the question, “Why is rye picking up steam?” Watch for an upcoming post on that very topic.
