IPA (India Pale Ale)

India Pale Ale (IPA) is a style of beer known for its strong hoppy flavor and aroma, which often has floral, citrus, or fruity notes. Originally brewed in England in the 19th century, IPAs were crafted with extra hops to preserve the beer during long sea journeys to India. This hop-forward character distinguishes IPAs from other beer types, contributing to a variety of sub-styles, such as American and New England IPAs. With a higher alcohol content and a balanced bitterness, IPAs have gained immense popularity among craft beer enthusiasts worldwide.
