Black IPA

What is in a name? Sometimes called American Black Ale or Cascadian Dark Ale, this beer style is a hybrid between a Porter and an IPA – let’s say an India Black Ale… If you like hoppier porters or just want your IPA on the dark side you got it! The use of a caramel malts and dark roasted malt and hopping techniques used in IPA make these beers fruity, citrussy, floral with a herbal character from the hops an interesting experience! Although the style has been around since the early 20^th Century it has been popularized in the 2000s and added as an official style since 2015.
