Alabama to get Limited Release Cigar City beer
TAMPA BREWERY PAYS TRIBUTE TO MONTGOMERY AREA BAND
On July 29, Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing will release Black Whole, A Multi-Dimensional Ale in honor of Montgomery-area band El Chupa Cobras. Only 144 cases of the beer will be sold in the U.S., and it will only be available in Tampa, in the Birmingham area and at El Rey Burrito Lounge, a longtime supporter of fine craft beers in Montgomery.
About the beer
Black Whole is a multi-dimensional ale that takes many twists and turns similar to our daily lives. It has a big chocolate expression with moderate caramel notes, complex toasted to biscuit notes and hints of clove and black licorice. Don your chocolate mask and discover the meaning of life as you sip this complex, dark beer.
Black Whole is a tribute to El Chupa Cobras, a mathy indie band from Montgomery, Alabama. This effort came about from our realization that craft beer and indie music have a lot in common. Wayne Wambles, our head brewer, and Kenny Johnson, the front man for El Chupa Cobras, played in indie bands together many years ago and this tribute is for all indie music fans and craft beer lovers.
