    Everything will be contract brewed by Brewhub (same place that brewed for Toppling Goliath) in FL.

    They just started to distribute to MI. Is that Brewhub beer too? I need to warn a friend.

    Cigar City hasn’t used Brew Hub since they partnered with Oskar Blues.

    (As noted by others above) Dec. 2017 Brewbound article on Brewhub:
    [​IMG]
    CANarchy owns a number of breweries, and they've brewed some Cigar City brands at Oskar Blues breweries in TX and NC (and apparently some draught at Perrin in MI) but, as noted below, they are well-labeled.

    I'm holding out hope Cigar City will expand here in South Dakota at some point, since Oskar Blues is distributed here.

    I had Jai Alai a couple weeks ago while in Chicago, and it was transcendal. I don't care who made it.

    ...and they chose J.J. Taylor for their distributor. I don't blame Cigar City for their choice, but it's bad timing. I'm sure this was in the pipeline long before J.J. Taylor's drivers went on strike, but I personally won't try their beer until the strike's over.

    Don't know if my IPA palette has just changed, but I was super underwhelmed by Jai Alai while visiting Florida this past week. It's good, but definitely not something that I would crave. To each their own I guess. I liked their Tropical Pale Ale and much better
