This is the second new state to receive deliveries of Cigar City Brewing’s award-winning beer in over four years.

CCB will hold launch events across North Carolina through March 29, with CCB representatives on site, including El Lector Neil Callaghan and Brand Manager Lucas Widrick. The official North Carolina Launch Party takes place at Oskar Blues’ Tasty Weasel Taproom in Brevard, NC on Saturday, March 25 beginning at noon. The event will feature specialty CCB taps, a Jai Alai-infused food special from the Oskar Blues CHUBwagon food truck, and live music from South Carolina rockers The Excons from 6-8pm.
