This is the flagship beer for Cigar City Brewing Company in Tampa Florida. Jai Alai IPA (pronounced "high-lie") pushes the boundaries of an American IPA with almost enough hops to push it into the Double ( or Imperial) IPA category.

The hop profile is professionally choreographed with flavors of citrus and piney bitterness that has fruity highlights of peaches and apricots.

Get out there and try some of the best craft beer America has to offer. Cheers! Read More »
