About This Beer
Two Sides Shop Local IPA (6%) is a celebration of everything that makes West Coast-style IPAs so beloved: clean bitterness, resinous pine, and a citrus punch that grabs your attention from the first sip. Brewed in Dublin by the creative minds behind Two Sides Brewing, Shop Local is more than a beer — it’s a statement in support of independent, Irish craft beer makers.
With a malt base that lets the hops shine and a crisp finish that invites another sip, this 6% IPA strikes a balance between traditional and modern styles. It’s ideal for hop lovers who crave assertiveness without going overboard on ABV or sweetness.
