About the Holiday

IPA Day started in 2011 by a Colorado-based Brewers Association. It's a holiday for beer enthusiasts that love the higher alcohol content and more hoppy flavor that's in an IPA. IPA is an acronym for India Pale Ale. IPAs are the fastest growing craft beer market in the US. Per a FoxNews.com article "The origins of India Pale Ale style beer –or IPA – go back to 18th century England when British troops in India demanded beer on their long sea journey. In order to ensure the beer didn’t spoil, more alcohol and more hops were added –which act as a natural preservative."
