Humidor Series Old Ale: SOLD OUT
We decided to prep a little more Humidor Old Ale after it sold out Friday. So we'll have more on late next week or the following week.

New 12 oz bottler arrived
Our newest arrival comes all the way from Pasco, WA. It's a brand new Meheen 6 head bottler designed for 12 oz bottles. Which means we'll finally be able to offer six packs in the Tampa Bay area market. We are still sourcing case mother cartons, six pack carrier cartons and glass, but hope to start bottling 12 oz bottles in early 2010. The challenge right now is getting all the carriers and glass down to a reasonable price so we can get on to the shelves at a reasonable price. I'm shotting for a $9.99 to $10.99 sixer on Jai Alai IPA and the new plan, for now, is to start with just the IPA and add Maduro later.
We still have Humidor Series Old Ale on Tap in the Tasting Room along with Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale and Cubano Espresso Brown Ale. And I mentioned it in a previous post but we will have altered days of operation the week of Christmas. Check the calendar at cigarcitybeer.com for the Holiday Tasting Room schedule. We are also prepping more Dragonfruit-aged Winter Warmer and Christmas Mint Brown Ale for those that missed it. Should be ready next week.
