Cigar City Bottles Batch 69

Cigar City just bottled Batch 69.  The beer was once brewed to celebrate the 69th batch by the Tampa based brewery. It will return soon in 750ml bottles.

Batch #69 is a Double Cream Ale, a style which isn’t really a style. This beer is our way of doubling the pleasure and doubling the fun. Originally brewed to celebrate the 69th batch of beer we brewed, the bottle in your hand is a nod to earlier, maybe slightly more immature days. We hope you enjoy a mouthful or two.
