So I just got back from the Brewer's Ball, which is the culmination of a weekend long event which showcases Florida brewing. We were pretty excited to find out on Friday that we won medals for 7 of our 8 entered beers; 5 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze medal. You can't ask for much more as a first year brewery. And Doug (our Production Manager/Assistant Brewer) won 2 Golds (of three entries) with his brewery Peg's Cantina.

It was a great weekend right there and we were on cloud 9 (the good cloud). So today was Brewer's Ball where the Best of Show is announced and Wayne and the team won First Place Best In Show (for Hunahpus) and Third Place Best in Show (for Cubano Espresso). It was a great day and much deserved for Wayne, Doug and Tim.

Which brings me to the thank you.....Our goal is the same as it was from day one; make beer we like. And while we feel like we do that, the fact is if no one else liked it our efforts would be for naught. So thank you to everyone who drinks Cigar City Beer. To everyone who tells their friends about us. To everyone who asks for CCB beer at their local watering hole and to everyone who just generally helps spread the word about CCB. We are nothing without our supporters and we thank you...

Cheers,
The CCB Crew
