JAI ALAI IPA

Jai AlaiÂŽ

7.5%

INDIA PALE ALE BEER DESCRIPTION Jai Alai, a game native to the Basque region of Spain, is played on a court called a fronton. Jai Alai players attempt to catch a ball using a curved mitt whilst the ball travels at speeds up to 188mph!

Proving they have a sense of humor the Spanish dubbed this game, with its ball traveling at racecar speeds, "the merry game." Tampa was once home to a bustling Jai Alai fronton but sadly all that remains of Jai Alai in the Tampa Bay area is this India Pale Ale that we brew in tribute to the merry game. The India Pale Ale style of beer has its roots in the ales sent from England to thirsty British troops in India during the 18th century. Pair Jai Alai India Pale Ale with beef empanadas, deviled crabs and other spicy dishes.

MADURO BROWN ALE

Maduro

5.5%

BROWN ALE

BEER DESCRIPTION Maduro is a Northern English-style Brown Ale with some American affectations. Maduro is higher in alcohol than the common English Brown Ale and features flaked oats in the malt bill which imparts a silky body and works to mesh the roasted, toasted and chocolate components together in Maduro's complex malt profile. The end result is a remarkably full-flavored yet approachable Brown Ale that pairs well with mild to medium cigars.

25 32 Chocolate malt, flaked oats

TASTING NOTES Aromas reminiscent of toffee and chocolate macaroons belie the low alcohol content and moderate body of this well-rounded English-style Brown Ale. Semi-sweet chocolate, almond and brown sugar flavors fill the palate but quickly dissipate into a dry, clean finish with notes of coffee grounds.

FLORIDA CRACKER

Florida CrackerÂŽ

5.5%

BELGIAN-STYLE WHITE ALE

BEER DESCRIPTION The Cracker Cowboys of Florida were colonial-era settlers, often of Scots-Irish descent, who arrived in Florida when Spain traded their territory of La Florida to the English. The term Cracker in Florida usage relates to the whip these "cow hunters" used to herd cattle in Florida's Palmetto Prairies.

Called Quaqueros by the Spanish, these hardy and hard working Cracker Cowboys helped to shape the history of Florida, the nation's oldest cattle raising state. We brew Florida Cracker White Ale with unmalted wheat, orange peel and coriander and then ferment it with a Belgian yeast strain to give it a spicy and dry finish. Perfect for a warm day on the Palmetto Prairie.

TASTING NOTES Citrus aromas of oranges and lime leaves mingle with bubblegum and dried flowers on the nose of this hazy and refreshing Belgian-style White Ale. High carbonation and herbaceous bitterness quench the thirst while lemon-lime esters and flavors of Valencia orange add unique depth of flavor and complexity.

INVASION PALE ALE

InvasionÂŽ

5%

AMERICAN PALE ALE BEER DESCRIPTION The people of Tampa Bay have fallen prey to a pirate invasion annually for well over 100 years.

After more than a century of failing to repel these seafaring raiders in their anachronistic wooden ships and despite access to modern sea, land and air arsenals that ostensibly should make short work of wind powered vessels equipped with naught but cast iron cannons and raging scurvy, it occurred to the folks of Cigar City Brewing that if you can't beat them, start saying "Arrrr Matey!"

We have brewed Invasion Pale Ale, a citrusy, tropical and low-alcohol session beer brewed for those long days of marauding, pillaging and pirating. Cheers!

IPA

12oz Can

TASTING NOTES Tropical aromas dominate the nose of this approachable, low alcohol pale ale with distinct notes of mango, tangerine and soursop. On the palate, a moderate bitterness is tempered by flavors of navel orange and clementine and a dry, bread-like malt quality that makes this Pale Ale at once approachable and incredibly flavorful.

TAMPA STYLE LAGER

Lager

4.5%

TAMPA-STYLE LAGER BEER DESCRIPTION Inspired by traditional German lagers, our Tampa-style Lager is brewed with German malted barley, Hallertauer hops and an authentic Bavarian lager yeast. We combine these ingredients to create a style that's quite unique to our hometown of Tampa, Florida but will find admirers wherever a crisp, dry and flavorful lager is called for. Familiar to generations, it's truly a beer that's made for drinkin'.

why we brew it

why you should drink it

In 1997, DuClaw Brewing Company Brewmaster, Jim Wagner, decided on a lark to age our award winning Barleywine, Devil’s Milk, in a Bourbon barrel. The resulting beer was so tasty and unique that in 2012 the barrel-aged version was re-christened “Hell On Wood” and put into full production.

DuClaw Brewing Company opened its first restaurant and brewery in 1996 in Bel Air, Maryland. Countless brewing awards later, brewing operations moved to an expanded facility in Baltimore, Maryland to keep up with the growing demand for barrels of DuClaw Brewing Company’s ever growing line-up of specialty brews.

Hell On Wood is medium/full-bodied and amber in color with a thin, persistent, off-white head, mesmerizing hop flavors and aromas (which vary each year with the beer’s hop bill) accented by notes of charred oak, vanilla, and caramelized sugar; and a warming 13.1% ABV. Fall to the seductive power of Hell On Wood!

craft be cherished. rules be damned.

Spring got sprung with this funky monkey. We dropped a big stash of Lemondrop hops into both the kettle and the dry hop – delivering a big citrus blast – and topped it off with a Lemongrass addition for a refreshing twist. Light in body with bright citrus notes, this is an extremely complex but very easy drinking brew.

A touch of acidity, some dehusked black malts for a rich, dark color, plus a short time in whiskey barrels before being blended back with fresh beer, make for a unique and inviting beer that’s our play on a whiskey sour.
