So be sure to submit<\/a> a name for each beer. If you’re really good, you might win more than one 6 month membership! We’d suggest you check out current beer names for each brewery to note their current voice and naming conventions. Cigar City<\/a> | The Bruery<\/a> | Shmaltz<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to know about each beer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"CigarCity-Logo\"<\/a>Brewery:<\/b> Cigar City Brewing Co.
\nClub Featured:<\/b> The Rare Beer Club \u2014 July 2014
\nThe Beer:<\/b> This one’s going to be a big (9%+ abv) American IPA inspired from Cigar City’s Humidor Series Jai Alai IPA. It’ll be aged lightly on Spanish cedar and smaller amounts of spruce using an infusion method to reduce oxidation caused from barrel aging which is not optimal for hoppy beers. It’ll contain no less than 8 different hop varieties including Pacific Jade to tie the Spanish cedar as both have a white grapefruit expression, and Chinook to accent the spruce as both have a piney character.<\/p>\n

\"Bruery-Logo\"<\/a>Brewery:<\/b> The Bruery
\nClub Featured:<\/b> The Rare Beer Club \u2014 Q3 Special Offer
\nThe Beer:<\/b> It’s going to be a big barrel aged blended beer, north of 15% abv. It’ll be comprised of three of The Bruery’s prized beers, Bois, a bourbon barrel aged old ale, Black Tuesday, a massive bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout, and Smokin’ Wood, an imperial smoked porter, brewed with beachwood and cherrywood smoked malt, and aged in rye whiskey barrels. Cacao nibs from one of our favorite featured chocolatiers, Mindo Chocolates, will be added to one of the three beers’ barrels as its aged.<\/p>\n

\"Print\"<\/a>Brewery:<\/b> Shmaltz Brewing Co.
\nClub Featured:<\/b> The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club \u2014 July 2014
\nThe Beer:<\/b> Shmaltz is one of the more inventive breweries we’ve worked with over the years and after 17 years as a contract brewer, they’ve recently built their own playland of steel and concrete. They’re creating a new IPA for us that will combine amarillo, crystal, cascade, and other classics of the Pacific NW genre with an intended juicy citrus, passionfruit, and peachy hop profile. Shmaltz in fact means “chicken fat” in Yiddish – a classic indulgent comfort food – and also an irreverent yet nostalgic sense of humor so have fun with this one! L’Chaim!<\/p>\n

Note: The Rare Beer Club = two 750ml bottles each month.<\/em><\/p>\n

To receive the exclusive selections featured in each club, you’ll need to be an active member of either The Rare Beer Club<\/em>\u2122 or the Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club<\/em> in July of 2014. The Bruery’s exclusive beer will be made available to members of either club in Q3 2014.<\/p>\n
