India Pale Ale or commonly known as IPA, is a type of beer that is famous for its unique hoppy taste and slightly bitter flavor. This kind of beer was known in the 1700s as a way to export beer to India from England. When the Pale Ale was first exported, the beer was well received, but it didn’t keep its flavor over the long sea voyage. This led George Hodgson, a British brewer, to experiment with the recipe and technique to prolong the beer’s freshness while it was shipped to India. He increased the hops and alcohol content to extend its lifespan, resulting in India Pale Ale.

IPA has since become a favorite among beer drinkers today, especially in the United States, where it has become one of the most popular beer genres. One of the reasons for its popularity is the wide range of hops used, which creates different flavor profiles, aromas, and bitterness.

With the recent growth in craft beer industry in India, IPA has become a point of pride for local brewers. The Indian beer scene is now bustling with exceptional IPAs that are gaining popularity all over the world.

One such example is Bira 91. This Indian brand established itself in 2015 and started experimenting with brewing techniques to make an IPA that would appeal more to the Indian palate. They developed a craft beer style known as ‘Bira 91 White Ale,’ which is popular among beer enthusiasts in India. Its IPA, known as ‘Bira 91 IPA,’ uses American hops, which creates a perfect balance of citrusy notes, bitter and sweet taste that pairs brilliantly with the Indian cuisine.

Another excellent example is Toit’s Tropical Storm IPA. It’s made with fruity hops like Amarillo, Citra, and Simcoe, which give the beer a unique flavor profile of passion fruit, grapefruit, and guava, seen as a perfect match with the hot and spicy Indian cuisine.

Efforts and innovations are being made to bring traditional Indian flavors into IPAs. Prost Brewpub’s Mango IPA is made with locally grown Alphonso mangos, giving it a tropical flavor with a hint of sweetness. The beer pairs beautifully with Indian curries and biryanis, making it a favorite of the locals.

The success of Indian IPAs has created a new beer movement that is now being recognized globally. The creativity and excellence is derived from the use of local ingredients, the adaptation of the hoppy overtones and bitter finish, and the innovation of taste. This unique blend is what sets Indian IPAs apart from its western counterparts.

In conclusion, IPA has become a staple in modern beer culture, not just in India, but worldwide due to its unique taste and hoppy overtones. Indians’ have taken the traditional IPA to another level with their unique twist and culturally rich ingredient blends, making it a favorite of locals and international beer enthusiasts alike.
