We brought you the news of this label a few months ago, so it’s exciting to see the official press release:
ST. PAUL, MN – (Feb. 27, 2012) – Summit Brewing Company today announces Dunkel Weizen, the ninth beer produced in its limited-time-only Unchained Series. Created by brewer Eric Blomquist, who also crafted the second Unchained beer 90/- Scottish Style Ale, Dunkel Weizen pays tribute to traditional German wheat beers and will be available in draught the week of March 5 and in bottles the week of March 19.
“Dunkel Weizen is a beer Eric has wanted to create for a long time and continues his focus on European-inspired ales,” said Mark Stutrud, founder of Summit Brewing Company. “Really good fresh examples of this style can be hard to find in the states, but Eric’s beer rises to the occasion.”
The brew is mainly inspired by Blomquist’s dunkel-drinking experience at a sidewalk café in Bavaria. A dark, German wheat beer, Dunkel Weizen is made with authentic Bavarian yeast and contains White Wheat, Vienna, Munich, and CaraWheat and other imported malts for body and sweetness. The beer also has more complex and rounded layers of flavor like biscuit, caramel, toffee and chocolate.
