latest and greatest

Cigar City Brewing’s next two beers, Guava Grove and Humidor Jai Alai IPA, should be getting bottled and headed out for distribution in a week, two at the most. Keep an eye out for it in your local Florida beverage retailer, and if you don’t see it be sure to ASK for it.
(on a side note: if you don’t like their beers, there is something wrong with you)

Blue Point Brewing out of Long Island celebrates 10 years of brewing. To celebrate their success, they will be releasing a series of special 22oz beers. Seeing as how they just moved into a new brewhouse, they should have no trouble accomplishing their new 10th Anniversary line along with other great things in the beery future.
