About this beer
It's the only label we have from Twin Lights Brewing. It is one of 17 kölsch labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 2 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A landscape scene dominates the label: a hiker with a backpack stands on a ridge overlooking a valley of forested mountains at sunrise or sunset, with snow-capped peaks in the distance and a golden sun breaking through layered clouds. The Twin Lights Brewing shield is centered below the hiker, and the beer name "SUMMIT KÖLSCH" appears in bold sans-serif lettering at the bottom. The entire composition is rendered in a flat, illustrative style with bold outlines and carefully modulated colour fields — sky blue, forest green, golden wheat tones, and cream highlights — creating a mid-century travel-poster aesthetic.
From the label“Summit Kölsch is crafted for those moments when you stop to take in the view. Pours a brilliant straw-gold, this traditional German-style hybrid bridges the gap between ale and lager. It opens with a delicate aroma of floral noble hops, leading into a subtle bready malt sweetness and a whisper of bright fruitiness. Crisp, clean, and flawlessly balanced, it delivers peak refreshment built for the journey”
