Hopzone IPA

India Pale Ales or IPA, originated in the late 1700s as British breweries sent beer to expatriates and troops in India via sail. Lacking reliable refrigeration, brewers produced these ales with large amounts of hops and alcohol, which acted as a preservative in order to make the long voyage. Here we’ve produced a strong, bold and fruity India Pale Ale in the tradition of the fine West Coast breweries. It is sure to please the hoppiest of hopheads. We start with 5 different malts to create a sturdy foundation for the hop assault. Then we build on this foundation with Bravo, Columbus and Centennial hops for bitterness and flavor. The pièce de résistance is the generous addition of a Cascade and Simcoe dry hop for a huge citrus and apricot aroma. Cheers! Show Less
