Winter is fully underway! The days are shorter, the nights are longer, and our thermometers are getting nice and low. Although most people tend to opt for more dark stouts and porters during the cold months of the year, there’s still plenty of room to enjoy IPAs as well. Indeed, lighter beers are also quite popular during this time of year, contrary to what many people say. IPAs are always a favorite, and here are three recommendations to add to your winter grocery list!
Session IPA
Session IPAs are a big trend in this beer style, offering the hoppy and fruity flavor of a regular IPA while lowering the style’s alcohol content and heaviness. Session IPAs typically clock in around 3.5%-4.5% ABV, making them a perfect option to drink on those long patio evenings or while doing yard work.
New England IPA
Looking for a beer that bursts with fruit flavors? New England IPAs are a perfect choice! Spring tends to liven our senses and awake our taste buds, and the heavy tropical notes of the hop-light NEIPA style is a perfect complement to the turning of the calendar.
Belgian IPA
Belgian beers are known for being funky and fresh, and this trademark carries over to the Belgian IPA beer style. Belgian yeasts add a funkiness to the classic hop-heavy flavor of an IPA, making a unique creation that’s a must for die-hard beer lovers.
