Extra Pale Ale
Craft Beer Pioneer
The beer that started it all! Our first brew, Summit Extra Pale Ale is St. Paul’s craft beer pioneer. EPA has been gracing the pint glasses of serious beer lovers since 1986. Caramel and biscuit malts balanced with a juicy citrus hop bite have led this beer to be crowned a winner throughout the years and for more to come!
