India Pale Ale Day
India Pale Ale Beer Day is coming! The annual event aims to increase appreciation for one of the most loved types of craft beer in the world, and uses social media to spread the word.
India Pale Ale Day was created to celebrate India Pale Ale! India Pale Ale is a great choice if you’ve never tried it before. India Pale Ale contains high levels of alcohol. This beer is considered a hobby beer. Hops refers to the flowers of hop plants, which are used to flavor and improve beer. They are also a stabilizing agent. They impart floral, citrus, and fruit aromas and flavors, in addition to bitterness.
In recent years, this type of beer has seen a bit more success. It was first developed in England in 1840. We will discuss more in the section below. This style of beer was largely extinct. This was until the rise of American craft beer in the latter half of the 20th century. India Pale Ales are a staple beer for craft brewers around the globe, and they are extremely popular. This is why we celebrate India Pale Ale Day!
There are many types of India Pale Ales available today. There are many sub-styles. You have Double India Pale Ales (also known as Imperial India Pale Ales). These are a strong and hoppy type of India Pale Ale. They usually contain an alcohol content greater than 7.5 percent. Vinnie Cilurzo is thought to be the inventor of this style. He is also the owner California’s Russian River Brewing Company. This style was created by Vinnie Cilurzo at California’s Blind Pig Brewery in 1994. The brewery has since been closed.
The New England India Pale Ale is another popular type of India Pale Ale. This can also be called Juicy India Pale Ale, or Hazy India Pale Ale. This style of beer was developed by John Kimmich of The Alchemist when the Heady Topper was first created. These India Pale Ales are high in hop aroma and low in bitterness. These ales are known for their floral, citrus, and fruity flavors. They have a hazy appearance which is why they are sometimes called Hazy India Pale Ale. Also, they have a smooth, consistent mouthfeel. This characteristic is achieved by a variety of brewing methods. This can include adjusting the water’s chemistry, timing the addition of hops and using a specific strain of yeast.
These are just a few of the many types of India Pale Ales available on the market today. Brut India Pale Ale is also available. This is a dry, crisp version of the drink. To get rid of sugars, the enzyme amyloglucosidase was added to the drink. Cascadian Dark Ale (also known as Black India Pale Ale) is available. It is not as pale as its name implies. This beer has a darker, maltier flavor due to the use of roasted Malts but shares the same bitter hoppy flavours. West Coast India Pale Ale is another option. It’s known for its dryness, clarity, and low amount of malt. Triple India Pale Ale is another option. This ale has a higher alcohol content and stronger hop flavors. This India Pale Ale has a higher alcohol content than the average of 10 percent ABV.
Most pale ales available in the 18th century were very different to the ones we enjoy today. They were lightly hopped. In the middle of 18th century, pale ales were brewed with coke-fired Malt. This allowed for less roasting and smoking of barley, which resulted in a beer with a paler color. One of these beer varieties was October beer. This was a pale, well-hopped beer that was very popular with the landed gentry. The beer was brewed domestically. It was meant to be stored in the cellar for two years after it had been brewed. These ales were later exported to India, however.
The origins of IPA beers can be traced back to the late 1800s, when they were made for British sailors who had to travel long distances to India. Many beers don’t last well onboard ships, but George Hodgson, a London brewer, was the first to create a pale ale that had a high hop count. This preserved its flavor better.
This special day is not sponsored by any particular beer brand. Instead, it brings together large and small breweries, as well as a variety of beer bloggers and enthusiasts. There are hundreds of events, including India pale ale tastings, festivals, and other celebrations. Cheers!
