Tampa Bay Buccaneers welcome Cigar City Brewing as craft beer partners

Tampa Bay Buccaneers announce partnership with Cigar City Brewing

Press Release: Today the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced a new partnership with Cigar City Brewing, an internationally renowned brewery founded in Tampa more than 15 years ago.

“We are excited to launch this partnership with Cigar City Brewing, a local Tampa Bay company,” said Buccaneers Chief Commercial Officer Atul Khosla. “We want our food and beverage offerings at Raymond James Stadium to highlight the unique culture of our Tampa Bay community. Cigar City takes pride in their local roots and this new partnership will provide our fans another Bay favorite.”

This Sunday, the Jai Alai Bar, named in honor of Cigar City’s flagship beer, will debut at Raymond James Stadium near the top of ramp C between sections 128 and 131. The addition will feature a 2,000 square foot full-service bar that will be accessible on the concourse for all fans to enjoy on gamedays. At select Buccaneers home games, the Jai Alai Bar will host a surprise promotion, ‘Jai Alai living with the Bucs,’ which includes a chance for two winners to receive seat upgrades, all-inclusive food and beverage, and a $100 merchandise gift card.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers welcome Cigar City Brewing as craft beer partners“With Raymond James Stadium in walking distance of the brewery, the Cigar City Brewing team has celebrated unofficially with Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ fans throughout the past 15 years,” said VP of Marketing Monster Brewing Company, Justin Clark. “But now as we head into the 2024 season as an official partner, we recognize this is an exciting time for Jai Alai IPA to party with our existing fans and make a bunch of new ones. You won’t be able to miss us in the stadium or at our retail partners throughout Florida. We look forward to finding ways to connect with beer drinkers and set the tailgating standard for seasons to come.”

Following the first year of the partnership, Cigar City Brewing and the Buccaneers will look to increase in-person experiences for members of the Krewe. During the offseason, The Cigar City Taproom & Brewery will host two ‘Brews with the Krewe’ events, for season pass members to attend. The events will include an exclusive happy hour with Buccaneers giveaways and autographed specials, a Buccaneer alumni appearance, a brewery tour, and one free beer for each guest. Also launching will be a multi-week sweepstakes, ‘Brew with a Buc’. The winner of this campaign will have a chance to brew their own beer at Cigar City with a legend, and a VIP Gameday Experience that will include club tickets, a pre-game tailgate, $100 in merchandise, and free parking.

To kick off the partnership, fans can sample Jai Alai for free at Raymond James Stadium’s Bucs Beach at a few upcoming home games this season.

We’re thrilled to announce the next iteration of the Cigar City Brewing Mixed Pack, as well as introduce to the world, Florida Man Down Under!

This new edition features the brands you know and love, along with some new kids on the block. The refreshed variety pack will see the debut of Florida Man Down Under, a brand extension of the popular Florida Man DIPA. We’ve turned the World’s Worst Superhero upside down by brewing a moderate alcohol version of his namesake beer with fruit-forward Motueka, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin hops grown in the Southern hemisphere, creating a flavor profile that’s crazier than an alligator boxing a kangaroo.

CCB’s flagship beer, Jai Alai IPA, serves as the base of the new pack, along with everyone’s favorite Supehero, Florida Man DIPA. Rounding out the pack is Frost Proof Belgian Style-White, released last Fall and boasting a slightly higher alcohol strength than many beers in the style, lending a more expressive fruit character and assertive flavor profile.

The new CCB Mixed Pack offers a beer for every occasion and is available now at select retailers. Be sure to use our Beer Finder tool below in the coming weeks to find CCB Mixed pack near you!
