According to Thomas Cingari Sr., President and CEO of Cingari Family Markets, "We are delighted to offer our customers a locally brewed, exclusive option that encapsulates the spirit of the season. This collaboration with Half Full Brewery is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with unique, high-quality products that reflect the best of what Connecticut has to offer."
Half Full Brewery, known for its community-oriented approach, echoes Cingari Family Markets' vision. "Brewing a beer that feels like fall in our own backyard is something special," said Conor Horrigan, Founder of Half Full Brewery. "Partnering with Cingari Family Markets once again allows us to create a beer that not only brings the flavors of the season but also the spirit of our Stamford community."
The Cingari Family Markets Pumpkin Ale is designed to be an easy-drinking option for fall traditions. With a smooth, classic ale base, it is ideal for sipping during gatherings, after days of outdoor activities, or beside the first fire of the season. Cingari Family Markets currently operates ten ShopRite locations across Connecticut, ensuring that customers in various towns can enjoy this limited-edition seasonal brew.
This collaboration between the supermarket chain and the local brewery continues a tradition of seasonal offerings that have been well-received by customers. Both companies are proud to offer a product that resonates with the season and the communities they serve.
