NEW! Mysterious Secrets of Circus Boy(R) Revealed At Last!

March 02, 2006 - Burlington, VT - The Magic Hat Brewing Company announced today the release of Circus Boy®, the company's newest year-round beer and the first permanent member of its family of ales to appear in nearly three years. The New Eighth Wonder of the Brewing World is the Greatest Sip on the Planet! An astounding ale, Circus Boy® is the brewery's take on the American hefeweizen. Unfiltered and unfettered, it's a deliciously light-bodied beer brewed for wide consumer appeal and ultimate drinkability for all seasons. Each sip of Circus Boy® contains a pronounced wheat malt character, yet is free of the overly spiced phenolic yeast flavors that mar the typical imported hefeweizen. American hefeweizens experienced 15% growth in 2005 and are now the 5th largest national category in the craft brewing industry. Experts attribute this increasing popularity to the style's uniquely refreshing flavor profile, which attracts a broad cross-section of craft brew drinkers. Available year round, Circus Boy® can be found in six packs, 12-paks, cases, draft, and in every Magic Hat Variety 12-Pak. Preview performances of Circus Boy® can be arranged on request. To arrange a show for your taste buds, please contact Ringmaster Sara Schnipper at (802) 658-2739. Magic Hat Brewing Company® and Performing Arts Center, creators of #9®, Fat Angel® and Blind Faith®, supporting the arts community and educating consumers that "Great Sex is Worth Protecting."
