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 188 mph! Proving they have a sense of humor the Spanish dubbed this game, with its ball traveling at race car 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.

#16 Beer Republic advent calendar. 355 ml can. Cloudy dark orange, big fluffy head. Loads of zesty citrussy notes, grapefruit, resin, tropical fruity, pine, honey, spicy hops, licorice. Intense hoppy bitterness, some sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, hoppy bitter finish. Great West Coast IPA!

12 Fl Oz can: Poured at home on 14th Feb 2021. Clear amber body, rocky white topping. Hop forward IPA, citrus and piny esters in the nose, taste also a blend of those citrus and piny flavours, the malty base gives a good balance and the alcohol content adds to the drinking experience. Really enjoyed this.
