So, you like IPAs, eh? IPAs are one of the most popular beer styles and definitely the backbone of the craft beer industry. IPAs have a long history all over the world. It would be pretty unlikely to come across a brewery that does not brew an India Pale Ale.
What is an IPA?
India Pale Ales (IPA) is a hoppy beer style in the category of Pale Ales. IPAs use more hops and usually have a higher alcohol content. Learn more about IPA’s in this article: Beer Styles: India Pale Ale.
IPA’s have 4 main styles, English, American, White/Belgian & Imperial/Double.

Must-Try English IPAs:
Russell Brewing Company,
