What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (1 Viewer)

Was able to score some of the Cycle weekday BA Stouts this week. Picked up 2 Mondays, 2 Tuesdays, and 2 Thursdays. It was fun hanging out from 6am to 8am on Tue and Thu chatting with some fellow local beer nerd friends to grab some bottles.

Monday: Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Cinnamon Imperial Stout, 4 bottle limit, $30 each. Lasted all day, sold out about 8pm

Tuesday: A rich, many grain (barley, wheat, rye) imperial stout we affectionately referred to as Garbage Stout. Sure, we cleaned up some of our grain supply but we also made one of our best imperial stouts. (we wrote it down, we will make this again), 2 bottle limit, $25 each. Sold out within a few hours.

Wednesday: Cinnamon Hazelnut Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (missed this one due to fishing trip), 1 bottle limit, $30 each. Sold out in 2 hours.

Thursday: Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (Maple DOS), 3 bottle limit, $25 each. Sold out in a little over an hour.

Friday: Colorado Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Cocoa Nibs and Vanilla Beans. $30 each. Only available to ticket holders of Barrel Aged Day.

The local news showed up Wednesday.

That's been on tap at one of my favorite local spots for a week now. Great beer when it's hassle-free. I feel like my last pour was more balanced. Not too much coffee, which works for me.

Nah, not a huge 3F guy so I skip it. Where did you get a Todd?? They release again or is it from the last release? That one Surly release is worth every penny.

It's still an experience worth going to. FFF or not. 

Todd is a new release. Local store had one case...I pretty much took it all. This stuff is the ####.

Sweet last time it came out I was able to get a full case (Wing might be more coming your way!!) I'll have to run out tomorrow. When I said I was out of it for ~2wks I wasn't kidding :(

I likely will be going to Oath Day on 5/14 though.

Steelerfan and Berndog...I read that it is Charlotte beer week. I also read Salud is having a Founders event Tuesday with special tappings. Wouldn't be shocked if they had KBS and would be cool if they had CBS. 

 
Worked Huna Fest today in Tampa and was able to try a bunch of amazing beers, including 2 of the top 3 (as voted by attendees). The first 2 below were voted #2 and #3 best beers (Mazurt's Coconut Aged Brandy Barrel Vanilla RIS won best beer, it was aged in actual coconuts...they would tap the coconut and strain it into the tasting glass...insane.).

“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.” ― Charles Bukowski

Oskar Blues Acquires Cigar City

[SIZE=medium]Longmont, CO, & Tampa Bay, FL -- Oskar Blues Brewery announced the acquisition of Tampa's Cigar City Brewing. Putting months of acquirement rumors to rest, the decision is driven by mutual irreverence, respect and desire to stay true to craft beer roots.[/SIZE]

The combination stems from the want to take risks, sniff out bullsh*t and grow against-the-grain in an era of increasing competition within craft beer. The collaboration will match the years of large-scale growth, expansion expertise and resources of Oskar Blues with the strength of Cigar City's local following to help both breweries strengthen their future position. Similarly to Oskar Blues, Cigar City's award-winning brews are well known and respected within the craft community.

"Cigar City is facing next-level challenges and we needed to develop next-level skills and resources to meet them. But, we got into beer out of passion and an unwavering desire to travel our own path. We didn't want to just shove our round peg into some f*cking square hole and hope for the best. Florida craft beer drinkers want something they can proudly stand behind. These guys get that. They wrote the book on keeping it real," says Joey, founder of Cigar City Brewing.  Joey will remain as CEO of Cigar City following the transaction.

Since 2009, Cigar City Brewing has achieved a near constant growth pattern reaching nearly 60,000 barrels in 2015, placing the Tampa Bay area and the state of Florida on the craft beer map. The partnership will provide additional investment for Cigar City's infrastructure growth within Florida. 

"What Cigar City has done for the community of Florida craft beer is impressive.  It's important for our culture to do business with people we want to hang out with and Joey and the gang fit," Dale Katechis, Soul Founder of Oskar Blues, stated about the new partnership.

Oskar Blues Brewery is the funky brewpub that started brewing beer in 1999 in the small town of Lyons, CO and is responsible for starting the craft beer-in-a-can movement in 2002 with Dale's Pale Ale. In 2008, the brewery expanded down the street to Longmont, CO. and added an additional brewery in Brevard, NC in 2012. Oskar Blues brewed 192,000 barrels in 2015 and announced another brewery in Austin, TX scheduled to open in May of 2016.  

Terms of the acquisition are not disclosed.

I wouldn't call this positive at all. Oskar Blues didn't acquire them, Fireman Capital Partners did. Your article is the spin they want. They are a private equity firm that now owns 5 breweries under the LLC United Craft Brews. Being an equity firm means they are only looking to flip for profit. I think they will try to strength the portfolio as much as they can then sell it off to InBev or MillerCoors. That is if those two are still separate by then. DoJ is suppose to have an anti-trust ruling on that merger later in the year. Here is another article on it.

Had Psuedo Sue for the first time tonight, very tasty and well worth the effort to have acquired it. Todd is next. Likely will crack on Thursday.
