Cigar City Brewing keeps on expanding its reach and as it continues to grow, it also continues to improve its product offerings and packaging. One new addition is the Cigar City Brewing Mixed 12- pack, a year- round offering containing three cans each of fan favorites Jai Alai IPA, Guayabera Citra Pale Ale, and Florida Cracker Belgian style White Ale. The packs also include a brand new beer, Space Pope IPA, a beer brewed using Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin hops.
CANarchy, the craft beer collective that includes Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Perrin Brewing, and others, already launched a 12- pack mixer of its own that included Jai Alai IPA. This is easily the brewery’s most popular product and its inclusion on the CANarchy 12- pack sampler only helped to fuel Cigar City Brewing’s popularity, leading curious craft beer fans to seek out more beers from this Tampa based operation. The new Cigar City 12- pack sampler helps to satisfy this growing customer demand.
Even longtime fans of the established Cigar City beers will want to get their hands on this new 12 pack just to try the all- new Space Pope IPA. This 7.3 percent alcohol by volume beer is a citrus- forward American IPA brewed with Citra, Mosaic, Hallertauer Blanc, and Galaxy hops. This new beer was test- marketed in select places and due to the positive response, it is now launching throughout the brewery’s distribution footprint. Space Pope IPA will be available on draft in limited places, but the canned version will be available year- round in the new 12 packs.
Neil Callaghan, Cigar City Brewing’s El Lector, expects the new 12 pack mixers will be a major hit with craft beer consumers.
“We’re anticipating a huge response to CCB Mixed 12-Pack,” said Callaghan. “Variety 12-packs resonate with consumers who want to explore different beer styles or keep their fridges stocked with options for all kinds of occasions. The success of variety packs from our brothers and sisters at Oskar Blues Brewery and Perrin Brewing got us really excited to tackle this project. This is a perfect vehicle to showcase Space Pope IPA, one of my favorite new CCB brands, so I think CCB Mixed 12-Pack will be a permanent fixture in my cold box at home!”
Cigar City Brewing’s new 12 pack mixer will make its way to select markets across the United States beginning in January, 2019. By the early summer of 2019, the 12 packs will enjoy full distribution to all locations where Cigar City beer is presently sold. For more information, please visit online at www.cigarcitybrewing.com.
