Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

In early June, I posted some information on the next recipe in the Summit Unchained Series. Now, Summit has listed some more specific info and release events for Batch 4:

Unchained Series 04: Belgian Style Golden Ale

Brewer Eric Harper is releasing his Unchained beer the week of July 19! In his own words:

Light golden in color, pours effervescent with a thick, rocky head. The aromas of fruity esters produced by our Belgian yeast strain dominate, while a subtle spiciness from the Czech Saaz and Styrian Golding hops linger in the background. Brewed with 100% Belgian Malt and tons (literally) of Belgian Candi Sugar, the body was lightened, and the alcohol increased. The end result is a sublime drinking experience!

We have a number of release events planned that week and beyond:

Monday, July 19: Golden Ale on tap at 3 Squares in Maple Grove, The Longfellow Grill, and Groveland Tap.
Tuesday, July 20: All week long, all Punch Pizza locations will be featuring the Golden Ale on tap. Harper will be visiting their Grand Ave on the 20th from 4-6pm.
Wednesday, July 21: Harper will be at Grumpy’s NE at 4:30pm, Golden Ale pints $3
Thursday, July 22: Join Harper and crew at Sweeney’s in St. Paul at 6pm
Thursday, July 29: Harper and Rudolphs from 6-8pm. All Summit pints $2!
Friday, August 6: Golden Ale firkin lunch at Grumpy’s on Washington. This will be our first Unchained Series beer to go into a cask. Join us for triple fermented goodness!
