IPA Beer Ireland – What Is an India Pale Ale?
IPA stands for India Pale Ale — a hoppy beer style originally developed in England to survive the long voyage to India. Today, it’s a modern favourite in the craft beer scene, known for its floral, citrus, and piney aromas. IPA beers typically range from 5% to 7.5% ABV and showcase bold bitterness with a clean finish.
DIPA / IIPA – Double the Hops, Double the Fun
Looking for something stronger? A DIPA (Double IPA or IIPA) packs in more malt, more hops, and more ABV — often landing around 8% or higher. These beers are rich, resinous, and full of flavour. Perfect for seasoned hopheads looking for a bigger punch.
Pale Ale vs IPA – What’s the Difference?
Pale Ale and IPA sit on the same spectrum but offer different experiences. Pale Ales tend to be lighter in alcohol and bitterness, offering a smooth and balanced profile. Think of them as the approachable cousin to the IPA — still hoppy, but less intense. Whether you're team Pale Ale or IPA, you'll find excellent choices here.
IPA vs Lager – A Quick Guide
While lagers are clean, crisp, and brewed at cooler temperatures, IPAs are top-fermented ales with bold hop character and higher strength. If you’re switching from lager to craft beer, a Pale Ale is a great gateway — while IPA beer is for those ready to turn up the flavour.
