Air Gait Lax Lager: Orange lacrosse 'game changer' inspires a new beer

SYRACUSE, NY -- It was one of the most legendary plays in the storied history of Syracuse University lacrosse.

Now it's inspiring a beer -- the second to be linked to Syracuse lacrosse.

Lax Lager is coming to Central New York soon from a company called Air Gait Brewing Co., owned by former SU lacrosse great Paul Gait.

World's first lacrosse-themed beer has Upstate NY link

The company is named for the famous, but now banned, "Air Gait" lacrosse move pioneered by Paul Gait's twin brother, Gary, in 1988. The Gait brothers used such moves while starring for SU lacrosse in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
