December 21st, City Star Brewing celebrates the Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year with the release of our darkest beer of the year. Widow Maker is a colossal Imperial Stout, to be released on draft and in 16oz. cans alongside toasted coconut, coffee and vanilla variants. This nod to the Winter Solstice boasts a big, bold and complex flavor profile. Smooth, rich and ready to sip and savor. Not for the faint hearted. This beer will be rolling out with our 2022 commemorative winter solstice glasses. Glasses and cans will be available for purchase starting at 9am 12/21 online at citystarpickup.com.
Celebrate the Solstice in style with a flower crowns handmade by local florist, The Flower Gypsy. Flower crowns can be pre-ordered online now for pickup on day of event. Live music will be provided by Jon Garson’s Late for Supper bluegrass band in the taproom. In person tarot card reading will be done 4-7pm and Scrooge Maki food truck will be serving Asian inspired noodles, dumplings, poke bowls and more out front starting at 4pm.
The Solstice is a celebration of the return of the Light. It is indeed the twenty four hour period when the day-time or light is shortest and the night is longest, but the very next day is when the daytime starts to become longer! This brings hope and light for better things to come, along with our dreams, and hopes for love and all good things “coming to light”. Bringing out, love, inspiration and joy are always the basis of my readings, with positive insights, blessings and wisdom thrown in for good measure.
We look forward to welcoming the return of the light with good friends and great beer!
