One of the most interesting collaborations yet in 2012 has to be Snack Attack!  A three way brew with Bluejacket Brewery (opening in 2013), Funky Buddha and Cigar City.  The beer is inspired by movie theater food.   The beer is brewed with Florida sea salt, cacao nibs, vanilla beans and dry-roasted peanuts. Cigar City says expect this flavor when you’re drinking.

…peanut butter cups, milk duds, black licorice, chocolate-covered peanuts and salted caramel.

First available in Cigar City’s tap room on Thursday at 11 am. No growlers.
