Winter Solstice at City Star

150 150 City Star Brewing

Widow MakerA celebration of the shortest day and the darkest beer. 
This weekend, 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 bottles alongside toasted coconut 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.

Celebrate the Solstice in style with a flower crowns handmade by local florist, The Flower Gypsy. Pre-order yours online here and pickup at the taproom. We’re also adding a little magic to all bottle orders for the weekend! When you purchase any bottle of Widow Maker we’ll add in Flying Wish Paper. In spirit of looking forward to the changing of seasons and the return of the light we invite you to write down your hopes and wishes for the coming year and light the paper to watch it fly and disappear into the air!

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!
