Summit Brewing Launches Union Series With Meridian Session Ale

We brought you this label a month ago, and now the details coming from Summit Brewing on their new Union Series of beers with the first release--Meridian Session Ale. From Summit Brewing

Summit Brewing is launching a new series of beers called Union Series. The first release in the series will be Meridian Session Ale and this beer will start hitting shelves on April 15th and it will be the first beer to feature the new Summit Brewing logo. Look for the Union Series to feature unique and rare varieties of hops, malts & other ingredients.

“To create Meridian, we used Concerto malt, a new rising star in the UK, and Meridian hops, which was discovered by accident by a grower in Oregon,” said Damian McConn, Head Brewer at Summit. “Both of these new ingredients combine nicely to create a very drinkable beer – simple in design and complex in character.”

Meridian Session Ale is Belgian-style session ale, roughly in the Enkel (single) tradition. The combination of Concerto malt and Meridian hops results in a distinctive ale with a spicy, floral lemon aroma and clean bitterness.

Meridian Session Ale Specs:
AVB: 4.5%
IBU: 32
Color: Hazy sunset gold
Malt: Concerto Pale Malt
Hop: Meridian Hops
