E-Malt.com News article: US, MN: Summit Brewing Company launches Gold Sovereign Ale

Summit Brewing Company announced on March, 1 the launch of Gold Sovereign Ale, the sixth beer produced in its limited-time-only Unchained Series. Created by brewer Damian McConn, the beer will be available in draught the week of March 7 and in bottles the week of March 21. Gold Sovereign Ale will also include the new pry-off style bottle.

“Damian’s brew honors the pale ales of the Victorian era while using modern ingredients available only in the last few years,” said Mark Stutrud, CEO and Founder of Summit Brewing Company. “The result is an unfiltered beer with a solid malt base and an assertive character.”

The beer has an aroma of pear, apricot and spicy orange, ending in a pronounced hop bitterness and malt flavor reminiscent of freshly baked bread.

Summit Brewing Company was founded in St. Paul, MN in 1986, and has stayed close to its roots, serving the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. It is currently available in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, and Florida. Summit now produces eleven varieties of premium craft beer, including six year-round, four seasonal beers, and the limited release Unchained Series. Since its inception, the brewery has been a consistent pioneer in the craft beer movement.
