Beer Runner Beers: Track Town Triple Jump Pale Ale

I never quite understood the concept of the triple jump.
Why not the double jump? Or quintuple jump? Why three jumps? It seems such an arbitrary number to measure multi-jumping prowess.
However, I am willing to overlook the peculiar characteristics of the triple jump on behalf of the Eugene City Brewery Track Town Triple Jump Pale Ale.
Rogue (which owns the Eugene City Brewery) introduced this beer for last year’s Olympic trials in Eugene, but I just discovered it yesterday at my neighborhood grocery store.
I would hop, skip and jump any sand pit to get my hands on this beer. It has old-school racing spikes on the label, hits you with plenty of hops and has a nice malty aftertaste. That’s a triple win.
And for any triple jumpers out there, I apologize. I’m sure you think that running an oval track over and over again is weird. Let me assure you, it is.
