(Tampa, FL) – Cigar City Brewing updated its blog today . . .
Per Cigar City, “[…] when our new 60 bbl tanks arrive in June, we plan to keep Cubano Espresso and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie as semi-year round beers.
In 110K+OT news, we’ll be releasing Batch #3, a 10% ABV, 110 IBU, Double India Pale Ale which we have nicknamed “The Other West Coast”, on May 28th at the brewery. Details to follow in the days to come.
We bottled Humidor Series: India Pale Ale yesterday, about half of the yield will be going to the Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club and the rest will hit our normal Florida distribution channels.”
Brewmaster, Wayne Wambles, briefly discusses the West Coast-style IPA known as 110k + OT Batch 3 in the video below.
For anyone wondering what 110k + OT means, it is based on a RateBeer thread (now nixed) about how much money people made. The user that started the thread claimed that he made $110k each year plus overtime. Apparently, quite of bit of “flaming” ensued.
110K+OT definitely lived up to its billing. It has a sweet malty presence that compliments the hops, and reminds me of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot in that it has the feel of a barley wine as much as it does a DIPA.
Cheers,
Bill Z.
