What’s a Cold IPA?

So, what exactly is a Cold IPA? Picture a traditional IPA that's been taken on with the perfect chilled flash. Brewed with lager yeast at cold temperatures, this brew takes the bold, hoppy punch of an IPA and fuses it with a crisp clean finish of a lager. It's like the love-child of a hop-forward IPA and a smooth, mellow lager. The result? A beer that's quite literally perfect for any occasion, all year round.

But why are they all the craze suddenly? Well, in the craft beer business whereIPA's have been done and redone in every way imaginable, the Cold IPA stands out by itself. It's got the bitterness and hoppy aroma that IPA lovers can't get enough of, with a lightness that whispers, "Hey, you can totally have another". So next time you're debating on which craft brew to get, lean towards the Cold IPA and experience it’s level of refreshing like a plunge into an icy lake.
