Cigar City Brewing® Florida ManTM IPA - Imperial / 8.5% ABV / 50 IBU / 255 CAL / Tampa, FL / The world needs heroes, and in our home state of Florida only a very special hero will do.

A hero who’s forgotten more about amateur taxidermy and alligator rasslin’ 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. This hopped-up whopper of a beer is big in character and guaranteed to sear itself into your memory, just like “the world’s worst superhero,” Florida Man.
