Summit Brewing Company is a regional craft brewery in St. Paul, Minnesota that brews a wide selection of popular beers. It is sometimes mistakenly believed to be a microbrewery, even though Summit's output is in the top 50 of breweries in the United States, approximately 80,000 barrels of beer per year.[1] Their flagship beer, an American pale ale (branded Summit Extra Pale Ale) is especially popular in the Twin Cities area.
The brewery was founded in 1986 by local brewer Mark Stutrud and a group of his friends in an old auto parts warehouse on St. Paul's University Avenue. Their beers quickly became local favorites, and the company began to grow rapidly. By 1998, the company's beer production had exceeded the capacity of the original University Avenue brewery, and a new brewery was built on the west end of St. Paul, overlooking the Mississippi River.[2]
As of 2007[update], Summit beers are available from distributors in 14 U.S. states throughout the Midwest and Great Plains (CO, IA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, MT, ND, NE, OH, PA, SD, WI). The brewery currently brews five year-round styles, a variety of seasonal, and a limited release beers.[3] It is the third-largest brewery in Minnesota (31st largest in the United States), after Gluek's and August Schell Brewing Company.
