Cigar City Brew News

**Heck Yeah! I'm all for more CCB brews in my market specifically and Florida generally. You go!**

When these new tanks are plumbed in with glycol it will add 180 bbls of fermentation capacity and 60 bbls of brite tank capacity. We currently have 120 bbls of fermentation capacity and 45 bbls of brite tank capacity. So this represents a 1.5X increase in capacity to a total of 300 bbls of fermentation capacity (plus another 25 bbls in our open top fermenter for Guava Grove) and 105 bbls of brite tank capacity. With the tanks we currently we'll be able to brew around 6,600 bbls in a full year, a 660% increase from the 1,000 bbls we did in our first year (well really 9 months as we started in March).

What all that means if you don't know a bbl from an oz is that we'll be able to put a lot more CCB beer into the market and we'll be able to make larger batches of one-offs and seasonals. So if you like CCB beer there will be more of it to enjoy!
