Summit Brewing Company Plant Tour - Summit Brewing Company

Summit Brewing Company is a regional craft brewery in St. Paul, Minnesota that brews a wide selection of popular beers. It is sometimes mistakenly believed to be a microbrewery, even though Summit's output is in the top 50 of breweries in the United States, approximately 88,000 barrels of beer per year. Their flagship beer, an American pale ale (branded Summit Extra Pale Ale) is especially popular in the Twin Cities area.

Chapter Logo horizontal color How Cool are You?
 
My sons recently started talking about being cool, and I recalled my own teenage years and the need to be cool.  That driving desire dictated the clothes I wore, the music I listened to, and what subjects I became conversant in.  And, yet despite all my motivation and effort, it remained elusive.

What I Worry About 
I envy Alfred E. Neuman, the MAD Magazine mascot who stares from his perch on the magazine masthead, blithely stating these words: "What-me worry?" I worry. I worry a lot. And lately, I am beginning to wonder if I am worrying enough. Really? Really.
