Our Story
Where it began
Founded in 2009, Cigar City Brewing was born out of a desire to bring the unique culture, history, and cuisine of Tampa to an international audience. Always looking to expand the palate of flavors, Cigar City Brewing began introducing beers with unique tropical inspiration and culinary lineage.
Bold. Citrusy. beer.
Jai Alai IPA, a bold, citrusy and balanced India Pale Ale that involves six different hop varieties used generously in a 7.5% ABV beer. Look for notes of orange peel, clementine, and light caramel to share the story and sunshine of Florida with beer lovers across the globe.
EMbrace the chaos
The hero our world needs now is Florida Man, a hero who’s forgotten more about amateur taxidermy and alligator wrasslin’ than you’ll ever know. What better way to pay tribute to our beloved Florida Man than with a big ol’ Double India Pale Ale brewed with a nearly criminal amount of hops and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida Man’s general disposition.
