"Florida Man" is an Internet meme created from various unrelated news articles concerning people who hail from or live in Florida and them being involved in unusual or strange crimes or events occurring within the state. Be it a character with a shark tooth around his neck, a Grim Reaper tattoo on his arm, or a rap sheet longer than his mama's moustache, Florida Man is likely to be the hero that will wrestle an alligator any day.
My brewmasters thought what better way to pay tribute to this character than with a big ol' Double IPA brewed with a nearly criminal amount of American hops, a dash of honey malt and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida Man's general disposition. Thus I was born! As a hopped-up whopper of a beer that's huge in character, I'm guaranteed to sear into your memory, just like "the world's worst superhero", Florida Man.
