Tap Talk: Summit Releases No. 22 In Unchained Series

On the heels of the release of its second anniversary beer, Summit Brewing Company is releasing another new brew for the summer.

On Wednesday, the 22nd beer in the Unchained Series will be unveiled.

The beer, the Zingiber Cream Ale brewed by Christian Dixon, is "a tribute to true American beer styles." It combines modern and classic brewing techniques, as well as several different types of ingredients.

A 50/50 hybrid of an ale and a lager, it is brewed identically but fermented separately. Then, it is blended after fermentation. This allows the different yeast strains in the ale and lager to develop unique flavors.

Dixon also adds organic Hawaiian ginger to create a spicy dimension.

"Zingiber Cream Ale was a recipe idea born from my desire to recreate one of the lesser-seen All-American beer styles, executed as artfully and creatively as possible," Dixon said in a recent press release. "The result is a supremely drinkable, beautifully crafted beer with the definite presence of ginger spice."

Learn more about the beer from Dixon, and get a taste of the new brew, from 4 – 10 p.m. on Friday, June 10 at Summit Beer Hall. Dan Israel will also be playing from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Dixon will also be on hand to talk about the beer at 4 p.m. Friday, June 17 at Keegan's Irish Pub.

Unchained 22 will be available in 12-ounce can six-packs the second week of June.

It can be found on tap in the Summit Beer Hall, which is open from 4 – 8 p.m. Thursday, 4 – 10 p.m. Friday and 12 – 10 p.m. Saturday.
