Description:
This style was originally developed to be hard and bitter enough to withstand the travel and storage required to reach the torrid climate in India. When the soldiers returned home they found themselves so accustomed to its bold character, they requested it as a regular Pub offering. Our IPA is brewed with Canadian 2-row Pale Malt, Crisp Specialty Malt and triple hopped with Cascades and Columbus Hops.

Varietal Definition
India Pale Ale (IPA):
India Pale Ales are deep gold to amber in color, and are usually characterized by floral hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish. India Pale Ales were originally brewed by British brewers in the 19th Century, when British troops and colonizers depended upon supplies of beer shipped from England. Standard ales did not survive the journey, hence brewers developed high gravity, highly hopped ales that survived shipment in casks to their largest market, India. This style, probably not anywhere near as bitter as it was when destined for India, continues to be brewed in a toned down manner in the UK and is undergoing a mini-revival at present.
