Story

In the dark middle ages Dr. James was experimenting with marmalade jam and high pressure - and blew up himself and his laboratory.  He somehow survived the explosion but it had turned him into a gigantic marmalade jam, devouring everything that got in his way! He had become EvilJam! 

At the same Ethelston Ainsworth was trying out a new recipe for a beer which included herbs and the tears of a virgin (his own) - when the explosion shook his little brewery and a bucket full of his urine fell unseen into the unbrewed beer. 

When the beer was done he took a deep sip - and had to vomit instantly, shouting: "IT'S PISS ACTUALLY!". But the beer was ready to be bottled and the people were thirsty, so he marked all bottles with the letters IPA and shipped it. 

Just when he had delivered the last bottle he saw something that looked like a gigantic marmalade jam on the horizon coming fast towards him...

He decided to run for his life! Hopefully he doesn't run into any IPAs!
