Summit Maibock




Summit Maibock
Summit Brewing Co.
St. Paul, Minnesota

My bock your bock we all scream for maibo...yeah, sure we do. This stuff makes me think of fall despite the fact that it's a May beer and announces the coming of spring. But spring means birds and grass and sunshine and my little girl saying "Bwoods, duh-dee" and chasing the red red robin across the field only to watch it fly away. She stands and looks at me as if to say, "Where/why did it go?" There's no answer to this life my little one. It's all in the questions and where you proceed from there. Ask the pertinent questions and realize that answers are inconsequential in the grander scope of things. So what is this beer? Malt, brunt grassy herbs, caramel and candy essence, bread, water, bread, breathy alcohol, gassy foam and bread. Always more bread. Brick cheese and Doritos are purely optional but highly recommended by the man who knows not about life, spirits or matter.

How fortuitous. I tried a Summit Maibock last night as well. How fortuitous and how odd, as neither of us are a stone’s throw from St. Paul, Minnesota. I’d like to say that I tried it while enjoying a spring evening, with the gentle breeze flowing through my goatee, sipping joyfully as the birds sang and danced, and fornicated, watching as the condensation on my beer glass slowly dripped down the glass and onto my bare feet. But that would be fiction. In reality I dislike the sunshine and the screams of birds tear through me like nails on a chalk board. The beer was half decent though.

The sunshine is no friend of mine either. In fact I hate it other than in the winter time and only then when I can't warm up.

We are mind-melding my sudsy brother. If only you had a Ruby Paulk LP in your collection could we be true blud bruvas.
