Cigar City is releasing their highly sought-after White Oak Jai Alai for the first time in 2015!

” This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained.”

Look for this beer in 4-pack cans at retailers across the state as well as on draft at select craft beer bars!

Due South Brewing in Boynton Beach is canning Category 3 IPA today. As one of Due South’s flagship beers, this is the first time any of Due South’s Beers will be canned and the first time packaged product will be distributed.

Category 3 IPA is “Brewed with loads of malts and loads of hops, this golden India Pale Ale is true to the style while maintaining a balance between malty and bitter.  A special blend of American hops give this beer its unique flavor.  Although fruity and citrusy, this beer has only four ingredients: malt, hops, yeast and water.” 6.1% ABV and 64 IBUs.

Cans will soon be available in the tasting room (along with other Growlers) and distributed by Brown Distributing.

Hop WeekFor the second year in a row, the hop masterminds of Tequesta Brewing are celebrating lupulin in all it’s glory for a week long celebration. For the Week of September 23rd, starting on Tuesday, they will be offering up a different hop-concoction each day for your enjoyment. These aren’t just regular hops but FRESH, JUICY hops which were overnighted straight from harvest. Once a year, the hop growers harvest their hops and dry most of them for use throughout the year. Only a chosen few are thrown directly into the kettle to release all of those subtle, sticky, fresh, earthy flavors and this week, you’ll get to try a whole mess of beers who are blessed with these fresh nuggets. The following is the tap list:
