India Pale Ale (IPA) is one of America's most popular beer styles, as well as worldwide, known for their bold flavors and variety. The origins of IPA are steeped in history, dating back to the late 18th century during the British colonial period. Breweries crafted this unique beer to withstand the arduous sea voyage from England to India. They fortified it with extra hops, a natural preservative, and increased the alcohol content to ensure it remained unspoiled during the journey. Dig it. This historical context adds a rich layer of heritage to your beer experience. Here is a list of the 10 most medaled American IPAs, along with the five most important competitions where they have medaled, their awards, the Brewery that makes them, and a brief tasting note. It’s the Beer Hall of Fame IPAs: the IPA beers that have received top scores from at least five of the major beer competitions. Enjoy! “IPAs, they’re the best damn beers in the world.” — Stephen Carter King Sources: Forbes • Apple News #Beer #CraftBeer #IPA #IndiaPaleAle #Microbreweries #Pubs #Taprooms #Brewpubs #ConsumerBehavior #BrandAwareness #EmergingTrends #BusinessIntelligence ✦✦✦ Stephen Carter King Chief of Growth and Marketing and Strategy • Beer Market Analyst • Beerconomy CEO Thought Catalyst • Advisor • Sherpa and Speaker, sharing beer market trends, insights, statistics and forecasts via The Beerconomist “The best beers are ones we drink with friends.” — Beerconomy Digital Coming Soon: Beerconomy PRO
