St. Paul, Minn - (March 30, 2015) -

Summit Brewing Company today announces the release of Hopvale Organic Ale, a balanced, refreshing session beer available year-round on draught and in 16oz can 4-packs the first week of April.

With the hop character of a full-strength IPA, but the drinkability of a low gravity Bitter, Hopvale seeks to deliver a noticeable hop punch while being seriously sessionable at 4.7% ABV. Notes of grapefruit, pine resin, lemon rind and tangerine feature prominently in the aroma, while the malt blend supports a thirst-quenching bitterness.

“Summit’s ongoing commitment to using the highest quality of ingredients inspired the addition of an organic beer into our year-round line up of brews,” said Head Brewer Damian McConn.

The organic barley is sourced from Montana and Wyoming and the organic hops come from family farms in Washington and Idaho. The organic lemon peel, sourced in Southern California, adds an additional degree of complexity to the beer’s final profile. Organic cultivation ensures that a great degree of care and attention is required for the production of these ingredients, leading to assertive flavors and unique aromas in the final beer.
