Tampa- One of Cigar City Brewing’s most lauded events of their early brewing life will make its triumphant return after a 30-month hiatus.
Fruit in the Room, an event where the brewery pours nothing but fruit and fruit treatments of beers, will be back on Tuesday, January 28th, 2014. This time around, Fruit in the Room will be hosted by the Cigar City Brewpub in Northdale, with only the date being released so far.
The previous incarnation of Fruit in the Room saw Cigar City bring in fruited beers from around the U.S.A, including beers not distributed in Florida. Beloved beers like New Glarus’s Belgian Red and Raspberry Tart, R.J. Rocker’s Son of a Peach, and the then-unavailable New Belgium Eric’s Ale. The event also included fruited CCB beers and fruited versions of Tampa and Florida beers like Saint Somewhere’s Saison Athene aged on lemon leaves as well as numerous Jai Alai IPA and Maduro Brown Ale treatments.
Shortly after its last appearance, Fruit in the Room went on a temporary vacation as Cigar City Brewing began major expansions to the brewery and its Tampa location.
