Xmas 2012 – Cigar City / Sugar Plum Ale
For the next 24 days, I will treat you to some of America’s holiday offerings and we start in Florida at Cigar City…..
“A rich-bodied brown ale forms the stage for holiday flavors which dance a festive ballet highlighted by pirouetting leaps of Christmas inspired spices. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, rose hips and chamomile compliment the subtle chocolate and light coffee notes of the malt and the addition of roasted carob and chicory complete the performance.”

Every December here on this very blog, I highlight a holiday/Christmas/winter warmer every day up until Christmas. Some of these beers aren’t available here in Los Angeles but your holiday travel plans may take you near one of them that you can taste.

December is all about the holiday ales. I started highlighting individual seasonal offerings right after Thanksgiving. So we all could celebrate each holiday in it’s proper time. It will end with a review of Anchor Christmas on Christmas.
Also, again thanks to Charissa Santos, for the above logo. If you like the look of it, check out her site HERE. She does branding, print and web design and she is easy to work with and she really made me take a hard look at where I am going and what my design does to help me get there.
