(Tampa, FL) – Some recent updates on the Cigar City Brewing front…

According to Brown Distributing’s Facebook page (they’re a Virginia distributor):

Cigar City has arrived! Get the first taste at the Havana 59 launch party next Wednesday, 11/9 during Richmond Beer Week!! Details coming shortly.

According to Cigar City’s Facebook page:

We love our lager yeast so much that we’re gonna keep pumpin’ ’em out. Today we’re tapping Ligero, a black lager. It’s a traditional schwarzbier: black, roasted and nutty. It’s low in alcohol at about 5% and quite easy to quaff. Look for Ligero in the tasting room, or at your favorite pub: we made a lot of it, so it’ll hit distribution! And to get this out of the way now: yes, you can get growlers, and no, we have no plans to bottle anytime soon!

According to Cigar City’s blog:

Way back in the early early days of the brewery we had a pilot of a beer called Patio Pils. It was a pre-prohibition pilsner, brewed to replicate a style that is long-gone since the days of prohibition. Well we’re proud to announce that we will be bringing the beer back next summer as a regular seasonal! But the most exciting thing to announce is that we’ll be brewing a special batch just for the Repeal Day Party coming up next month!
