We unloaded our new tanks today. When they are in place it will roughly double our tank capacity, which will in theory alleviate some of the beer shortages we have had lately. We also got the bottler running yesterday and ran a few test bottles through it and it actually ran through its processes fairly well. We still need to do a lot of work to get it where it needs to be, but it was a promising day.

We'll have a few beers on draft for growlers this week: Humidor Bolita, Cuban Espresso Maduro, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale, Vanilla Maduro and Humidor Series India Pale Ale. We'll also be prepping some Humidor Series Imperial Stout that will be available in growlers in the coming weeks.

We have a very busy schedule this week. Brewed IPA and packaged IPA today. We will be brewing/filtering tomorrow. Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout will start going out to distributors this week, but we still have some for sale until then. And of course Barrel Aged 110K+OT Batch #2 will be available tomorrow between 11 AM and 5 PM. The limit is 8 bottles per person and the price is $20 per 750ml bottle. 449 bottles were made.

I'll get pics of the new tanks up tomorrow. In the meantime here is a nice piece on Cigar City Brewing @ dcfoodies.com.

Cheers,
Joey
