Daryl's Magical Mystery Tap is
Jai Alai India Pale Ale pays tribute to the original extreme
sport.
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 of
up to 188 miles per hour!
Proving they have a sense of humor
the Spanish dub this game, with its ball traveling
at race car speeds,
""""the merry game.""""
Tampa was once home to a busy 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
strong ales sent from England to thirsty British troops
in India during the 18th century. To survive the journey
the beers
needed more alcohol and more hops
(which act as a natural preservative).
This “big” brewing practice made India Pale Ale one of the
first """"extreme beers"""" and a favorite among
the Queens
military men in India. Eventually it
became a favorite style of the
new crop of American
brewers seeking more flavor and
complexity than
mass-market brewers were willing to offer.
ABV 7.5 We never know what Daryl's Magical Mystery tap will be so check back often  |
