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.”
Either / Or
Cigar City. Critical darlings of the craft beer world have a new beer available for those lucky enough to be in Florida.
Cigar City Brewing joined forces with Denmark based Grassroots Brewing and Hill Farmstead of Vermont on four beers. Half of the bounty is now close to seeing the light of day. Either and Or, which the labels describe as a high gravity black ale brewed with special honey, hops and aged on toasted Spanish Cedar.
Oatmeal Cookie
The popular and inventive folks at Cigar City have a new offering made with…raisins, cinnamon and vanilla beans.
I hope all the spices don’t obliterate the brown ale base.
Bruery + Cigar City
The Bruery and Cigar City are planning to do a collaboration brew!
The possibilities seem limitless.
