Summit Brewery

The brainchild of St. Paul beer lover Mark Stutrud, Summit Brewing Company was founded with one goal: To bring back the remarkable craft beers once brewed throughout the Upper Midwest. The first keg of Summit Extra Pale Ale rolled out of the brewery, across University Avenue and into Johnny’s Bar on September 25, 1986, placing Summit well ahead of a trend of craft brewing that would eventually sweep the nation. Beer lovers all across the Upper Midwest and beyond have come to appreciate Summit’s commitment to great beer, and it’s an appreciation that grows with every glass poured.
