Cigar City has announced that they are brewing a collaboration with San Diego’s AleSmith Brewing. AleSmith Brewing is one of San Diego, California’s mainstay breweries and their head brewer has made a cross-country trek to brew with Tampa’s craft brewery. Naturally, two breweries both renowned for world-class imperial stouts, IPAs, and barley wines got together and brewed a Belgian Dubbel.

The beer, dubbed Dubbel Dare, should see bottles and statewide distribution.

From Cigar City:

Ryan Crisp, head brewer at AleSmith Brewing Company out of San Diego, CA … made the cross-country trip to brew a Belgian Dubbel with us. What’s so special about this dubbel is the inclusion of Deglet Noor dates and Black Mission figs. We’re calling it: Dubbel Dare.

AleSmith is a legend in craft beer circles, and we’re completely stoked to collaborate with these guys.

We’re about a month away from this guy hitting bottles, but once it does, expect to see it in the tasting room and across the state of Florida as well!
