St. Petersburg saw the opening of one of its first craft breweries, Cycle Brewing, four years ago. (Time flies, man.) To celebrate its milestone on the 500 block, the pioneering downtown brewery has four bottle releases in store for the tasting room later this month.
There's the $25 Rare DOS 1, a whiskey barrel-aged imperial stout, aged over one year; $30 Hazelnut, a barrel-aged hazelnut imperial stout with cocoa nibs; and $35 Rare DOS Double Barrel, an imperial stout aged in both bourbon and cinnamon-vanilla whiskey barrels.
Cycle fans can also look forward to Rare Noa, a collaboration with award-winning Swedish brewery Omnipollo. Available for $30, this one's a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with coffee, cinnamon and pecan.
"Starting Tuesday August 15th" is the only release-day hint Cycle's Facebook followers received last week, but you're gonna want to get in on this. CL will update this post when more details become available.
