Summit Brewing Company

About

Way back in 1986, before craft brewing was even cool, Summit Brewing Company Founder and President Mark Stutrud set out in St. Paul, Minnesota, to make craft beers inspired by old-world brewing traditions and ingredients. Over 30 years have passed since he first brewed our flagship Summit Extra Pale Ale, and it’s safe to say he freaking nailed it.

Today, Summit Brewing continues to infuse traditional recipes with modern ingredients from around the world, crafting high-quality and consistent craft beer out of respect for the hardworking folks who enjoy our beer.

To experience firsthand what Summit Brewing Co. is all about - great, fresh beer - visit the Summit Ratskeller immediately, or take a tour of the brewery! During the tour, visitors will learn the history of Summit Brewing Company, the process for making Summit beer, and enjoy a walking tour of the brewhouse, cellar and packaging areas. At the conclusion of the tour, visitors who are age 21 and older can enjoy a flight of four 7-oz. pours of Summit beer and shop in the brewery's gift shop.
