🍻 Happy National IPA Day! 🍻
Did you know the IPA (India Pale Ale) has one of the coolest stories in the beer world?
Back in the late 1700s, British brewers were shipping beer to soldiers and traders stationed in India. To survive the long sea voyage, they brewed a pale ale with extra hops, which acted as a natural preservative and helped the beer stay fresh for months. That style became known as the India Pale Ale, or simply… IPA!
🍺 A few fun IPA facts:
• Hops add those bold flavors and aromas of citrus, pine, tropical fruit, floral notes, and more.
• IPAs are now America’s most popular craft beer style, with countless variations—from West Coast to New England (Hazy) IPAs.
• Hazy IPAs are known for their juicy, tropical fruit flavors, smooth mouthfeel, and intentionally cloudy appearance.
