IPA Day

Celebrated on the first Thursday of August each year, check into any IPA on the day to gain this badge.

Untappd recognises 20 different substyles of IPA, but remember APAs don’t count!IPA2018IPA2016

India Pale Ales get their name because they were brewed to be shipped to India by British brewers. First developed in the 18th century, they were brewed to be hoppier than standard pale ales so they would last the journey. They quickly found a market in Britain as well as being exported to the other corners of the British Empire.

In the 20th century American craft brewers took the style and turbo charged it, adding even more hops and kick starting the craft beer revolution.

Make sure you have an IPA to celebrate IPA day today!
