As with a number of brewing styles, IPA was born out of necessity. When the British were colonizing India, the beers they sent down to their troops kept spoiling during the long sea voyage. With an extra healthy dose of hops and alcohol, both having great preservative value, their problems were solved, and the world had another distinctive beer style. The Colonel’s IPA does more than emulate the style. This flagship ale features Galena Hops for bittering and Amarillo Gold hops for aroma that create a crisp bitterness and imparts a balanced floral and piney aroma.
