Take It Where Summer Takes You: The Summit Boundary Waters Box Variety Pack
By Summit Brewing Company
Summer is here, and around Summit Brewing Co. that means it’s time to update the beer fridge.
Now, back to the beer fridge. We’re sure you don’t have any old, expired beers tucked away in the back. You drink your beer cold and fresh, after all. But why not take a look, just in case, and make sure there’s room for a few new flavors?
Namely: Summit Skip Rock, Summit Lazy Sipper, Summit Golden Fruited, and Summit Hefeweizen. All four are available inside the Summit Boundary Waters Box, a new variety pack of twelve 12-oz. cans.
WHERE WILL YOU TAKE YOUR BEER?
Whether you’re hitting up the lake, a ballgame, the dog park, your favorite bike trails, the neighbor’s backyard fire pit, a sick bocce tournament, a block party, a family get-together, a road trip with buddies, helping a friend move out of their crummy apartment, grilling some pork chops at home, chilling in your hammock, doing some yardwork, stopping by a pool party in your new European-style short-shorts, flying model rockets and airplanes, going birding, planting your garden, walking around the block at sunset with your dog, playing horseshoes, paddling downriver, fishing off the dock, rollerblading on fresh blacktop, or playing beach volleyball, these Summit Boundary Waters Box beers are ready for any adventure you can dream up — as long as you stick ‘em in the cooler with ice. They need ice.
Brewed with tangerine peel and fresh-ground coriander, Summit Skip Rock White Ale offers notes of zesty citrus, clove and biscuit. Unfiltered and brewed with a complex malt bill including wheat and oats, it’s full-bodied, slightly sweet, and a little tart beneath the surface, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish. Find it on draft and inside the variety pack now, and come June, you’ll be able to spot Skip Rock in 6-packs and 12-packs of 12-oz. cans.
First brewed for the draft lines at the 2017 Minnesota State Fair, Summit Lazy Sipper is back this year and available now in 12-oz. bottles and cans both on its own and inside the variety pack. Brewed with all Minnesota ingredients, Lazy Sipper features Mighty Axe hops, malts from Rahr Malting, just a touch of fresh Minnesota strawberry in the finish and aroma.

Featuring aromas of passionfruit and mango from 100 percent Galaxy hops from Australia, plus notes of toast and bread from US, UK and Argentinian malts, Summit Golden Fruited is balanced by hints of fresh peach and apricot. Crisp, refreshing, and low in bitterness and alcohol, this perfect patio beer is available only inside the variety pack and in limited draft. Not thirsty yet? Read this.
A classic German wheat beer, this one’s got some history with Summit Brewing Co., and we’re happy to welcome it back to our seasonal lineup. Available on draft and inside the variety pack, our Hefe offers up a toasted breadcrumb base, a little hop spice, aromas of banana and clove, and a dry, refreshing finish.

Summer is officially upon us…well not yet its technically on June 21st!! What a beautiful weekend for getting the outside tasks done. Hopefully, you got to enjoy the weather with a beer in your hand and it was not all chores, like I spent my weekend. Between pulling the weeds and planting new grass seed I did enjoy a few beers from the Samuel Adams Summer Variety Pack. The new packaging design of the sampler packs are bright and colorful making it hard to miss on the shelf. The beers themselves are just as bold and bright as the new packaging – making them perfect for the long summer ahead.
If you’re looking for draught options don’t miss out on Samuel Adams Summer Ale, Porch Rocker or the VERY Limited Golden Ale.

Summer officially kicks off this month so if you haven’t already picked up an American Summer Variety Pack, now is the perfect opportunity. Whether you’re firing up the grill or lounging the longer days away, the six unique brews in this summer’s pack pair perfectly with any summer occasion. This year’s line–up includes:
BOSTON LAGER
The backbone of the Samuel Adams family of beers, this flavorful and balanced lager is our original brew that helped start a beer revolution.
SUMMER ALE
The crisp citrus character of Noble hops and malted wheat get a lively kick from zesty lemon peel and spicy Grains of Paradise in this beer. Bright and refreshing, it’s summer in a glass.
HEFEWEIZEN
This hazy golden Hefeweizen is our take on the classic German beer. Notes of clove and banana, signatures of this style, are complemented by a slight malt sweetness. Clean and crisp, this beer pairs best with a sunny summer day.
RASPBERRY LEMON GOSE
This beloved beer finally makes its way out of our Boston Brewery for the first time this summer. Light-bodied and hazy with the crisp taste of white wheat, this gose gets a summery twist from the tart and citrus flavors of lemon and raspberry.
PALE ALE
The distinct flavors of Centennial and Cascade hops strike a balance between hoppy and refreshing for the summertime. The hops add their signature citrus and piney character, along with peach and melon notes, with a crisp, dry finish.
GOLDEN ALE
This bright golden beer is inspired by the laidback and easygoing days of summer. Clean and balanced, its malt sweetness is accented by Cascade hops for a crisp and simple yet refreshing flavor.

With Rib Fest, one of Fargo’s most attended events of the summer starting this week. I thought it would be fitting to pair some beers with pork ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket. Finding the right beer to balance the flavors and spiciness of barbecue may seem over-whelming but beer is the perfect companion to whatever you’re barbecuing. The three most common ways to pair beer with any food is contrast, complement or cut.
Most barbecue sauces are a combo of sweet and acidic, sugar and vinegar, in one form or another with sauces ranging from mild to intense spiciness. Fortunately, beer’s carbonation cuts through barbecue’s fire and spice while refreshing and recharging the palate. At the same time, its complexity can complement the layers of flavor in any slab of meat.

The Wait is Over….. Grain Belt BLU Blueberry Lager has arrived to our market!!! We’ve had people asking when this beer would be back since the day we sold out last year. It was a huge hit the last two years and we expect the same results this year. This year Grain Belt BLU is available in 2/12/12oz Cans for the very first time and again on draught.
Grain Belt BLU, a summery spin on the iconic “Friendly Beer,” combines Grain Belt Premium with a generous load of real blueberries. It would be a mistake, however, to associate the beer with a sweet, syrupy blueberry pie dessert. On the contrary, Grain Belt Blu is light, balanced, and refreshing—a delightfully subtle twist on the classic American lager.
Grain Belt BLU
BEER STYLE: American Lager with Real Blueberry Juice
ALCOHOL BY VOLUME: 4.7%
CHARACTERISTICS: Purple in color, as the real blueberry juice takes charge. A light malt flavor with a balanced blueberry sweetness puts a delightful twist on the classic Premium lager.
About Grain Belt
Grain Belt, considered “The Friendly Beer,” has a history that traces a long line of private and public ownership for more than 120 years. Today, Grain Belt is owned by August Schell Brewing Company, and produces Four American Lagers: Premium, Premium Light, Nordeast and Lock & Dam. Grain Belt’s longevity, dedication to quality, and approachable nature are what make its Minnesota brews iconic. For more information, visit www.grainbelt.com.
