Steeped in the unique culture and history of Tampa, Florida, Cigar City Brewing began handcrafting award-winning beer in 2009. Cigar City Brewing’s ales and lagers bring to mind the sun and citrus for which Florida is known, while taking cues from the cigar industry upon which Tampa was built. Behind all of Cigar City Brewing’s liquid is the philosophy that quality is achieved by giving first rate ingredients to first rate people in a space where they are free to pursue their passion.
No, we do not ship beer under any circumstances. We suggest reaching out to a third-party, such as KOLO Shipping, who can help get El Catador beers to you. Please visit our KOLO Shipping page for more information on this program.
Membership is $250 (plus applicable taxes and fees) per allocation of seven (7) 750mL bottles. Members can purchase ONE (1) allocations per account. If more than one set is desired, a separate account must be created to purchase each additional set.
El Catador Club members will receive one (1) 750 mL bottle each of seven (7) barrel-aged beers for a total of seven (7) bottles to be released periodically over the course of their El Catador Club membership. Members (not trustees) also get a 20% discount in the Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room on Spruce Street in Tampa, FL* and Oskar Blues Taproom in Boulder, CO plus access to a members only event determined by your pickup location. Note: these events are ticketed (separate purchase), have a limited capacity, and are first come, first served.
*discount not available at Tampa International Airport location
Typically the club first offers current members the ability to renew their membership within a modest window. Then any available space is opened up to the general public and previous members for period of time. Once the general public window is closed or memberships are sold out (whichever comes first), we will notify all members with the start date for their discount.
If you can not pick up your beer, you can assign a trustee to get it for you.
There are two (2) steps to making this happen. First, your trustee must create an account using their name as it appears on their government issued ID and with a valid email address. Once they are registered and checked the “I would like to be a Trustee” box, you can use the email they registered with to designate them as your trustee. Please visit our Trustee page Trustee Setup for more details.
The El Catador Club discount is currently only valid at the Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room in Tampa, FL and Oskar Blues Tasting Room in Boulder, CO. The discount is not available at the Tampa International Airport location.
At this time, the only two (2) locations available are Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room in Tampa, FL and Oskar Blues Tasting Room in Boulder, CO. That said, we are always evaluating and trying to find more ways for members to easily pick up their club beers.
We are sorry to see you go! Since the club is not auto renewing at this time, per the terms of the agreement there are no refunds (full or partial) of club membership fees or any additional items purchased while in the club. If you don’t mind, we would appreciate hearing from you on why you are choosing to not renew. You can reach us at club@cigarcitybrewing.com.
We love hearing from club members on ways we can improve your experience. You can contact us using the form below.
We open enrollment approximately two weeks after the last bottle drops for a period of about a month. This timeline and time frame are not set in stone and fluctuates based on retention of members and available spots.
Signups for the 11th Edition are now open.
