One of the best things Summit Brewing has done in a long time just keeps getting better. The St. Paul brewery's Unchained Beer series continues with next week's release of Black Ale. The dark, hoppy ale is the eighth entry into the popular series.
For each Unchained installment, Summit gives one of its brewers free rein to create any beer style they want. The result is a small batch release (many of which have wowed local beer fans). Black Ale is brewer Mike Lundell second entry into the series, following his India Style Rye Ale. This time he's cooked up something perfect for the Halloween season. Here's Summit's description of Black Ale: "A medium-bodied brew, the Black Ale evokes citrus, passion fruit and peppery notes inspired by exotic hops from Australia and New Zealand.
The addition of Cara Wheat gives the beer a nice caramel, toasted flavor, and provides contrast to the darker Carafa III Special and Midnight Wheat malt varieties. It’s also dry-hopped with Galaxy and Pacific Jade for extra aroma." The brew will be available on tap at area bars starting the week of Oct. 24 and then in bottles the week of Nov. 7.
There are several events surrounding the release of Black Ale. here's a look: • Noon Oct. 24: Black Ale release party at Muddy Waters.• 6 p.m. Oct. 26: Beer School at the Republic.• 6 p.m. Nov. 2: Urban Eatery Beer Dinner.• 7-9 p.m. Nov. 3: The Nook “Burgers, Bowling, and Beer” event. http://www.chinabeerbrewing.com/

I was shocked today to see that the Philadelphia Electric Wheels store at 550 Carpenter Lane is closed. Yes, There are no more bikes in there. On the side window it says a new store will open February 15, 2011.
On Nov 19, here is message on the PHEW website.
Thanks to everyone for a great first year. We’ve enjoyed the trust & support from the neighborhood as we got our feet wet this past year selling & servicing bicycles. Anthony has moved on, and Afshin is settling into servicing your bikes himself.
In planning our spring season, which should include new non-electric bikes and more bike repairs, we find that we’ll need more space and are planning to move to another Mt Airy location over the winter. Have ideas for products we should carry? Or the perfect site for our new store? We want to know!This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Operating on reduced winter hours, we’re now open 3 days a week and by appointment. Please call 215.821.9266 before heading over.
