Bases Loaded (St Paull, MN) – Two beloved Minnesota brands Summit Brewing and the Minnesota Twins are celebrating baseball’s return with a special beer that will be widely available throughout the region as well as at the hometown ballpark.
Actually a rebranding of one of the brewery’s most popular releases, Keller Pils, Summit Twins Pils is a 5.1% ABV unfiltered German-Style Pilsner with sweet, honey malt notes and floral citrus hop flavors that finishes dry and clean. And with the renewal of their seasonal partnership, the iconic Twins Pils packaging is getting a fresh, new look for the 2024 MLB season, featuring the updated Twins logo.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Minnesota Twins as an ‘Official Craft Beer’ and ‘Official Hometown Craft Beer.'” said Summit Brewing Co. CEO Brandon Bland. “The renewal of this partnership is a testament to our shared commitment to providing fans with the best beer experience possible. We are excited to unveil the fresh, new look of Twins Pils just in time for the Twins 2024 season to start.”
An All-Star Beer (San Diego, CA) – Almost a decade ago, AleSmith released an American original that honored the late Tony Gwynn, San Diego Padres Allstar and Hall of Famer…Originally introduced at Padres Beerfest in 2014, AleSmith San Diego Pale Ale .394, was named after Gwynn’s career-high 1994 batting average, and that beer has gone on to become a core year-round offering for the brewery, as well as a a beloved symbol of the city where it originated.
Crafted to Tony Gwynn’s specifications of being “light with a kick,” this hoppy pale ale captures the essence of San Diego’s craft beer scene. The result of the Gwynn family’s feedback on test batches rendered a 6% ABV golden Pale Ale bursting with American hop notes, a subdued bitterness, and a malty sweet finish.
