Roughriders double nut brown. it is great story and teddy roosevelt was a prolific cigar smoker and a very distinguished president. he could relate to the common man and the upper class. and as you describe the beer it is exactly that perfect for the high class events and drinkable by the common man. . also this is a very tough and manly name. here is some stuff i found online to go with this

Since the City of Tampa was selected as the assembly and embarkation site of the U.S. Military in 1898 for the ultimate liberation of Cuba, it is most appropriate for the citizens of the Tampa Bay Area to form this organization.

The original Rough Riders were a cross section of America. There were college students, policemen, coal miners, sportsmen, a real life western sheriff and a few outlaws. Most of the men were ex-cowboys who recognized a great adventure and a good cause when they saw one. i think this is good as it describes your demographic and adds to the story

A genuine bond developed between Teddy and his Rough Riders. He knew them all by name

It is the memory of those gallant men ably led by Theodore Roosevelt which the 1st U.S. Volunteer Calvary Regiment, ”the Rough Riders” wish to perpetuate. Since the City of Tampa was selected as the assembly and embarkation site of the U.S. Army and the original Rough Riders, it is fitting that the first official commemoration organization devoted to the Rough Riders was formed here. In 1978 Charlie Spicola called together people with a similar interest in history and incorporated to form “THE ROUGH RIDERS”.
