IPA (India Pale Ale)

India Pale Ale is a style of light-coloured beer, first brewed in the UK in the 18th century and noted for it's strong hoppy flavour. It became favoured by the East India Traders who transported a number of these beers to India, which proved to benefit from conditions of the voyage.

Today, this English style of beer has been adopted to great success by the craft brewers of the United States.
