Happy National IPA day!

Amarillo-Centennial-Galaxy IPA on tap at my house.
Does anyone else happen to have any IPA ready for the occasion?  :wink:

I have my Simcoe/Amarillo Kitchen Sink IPA. I am going to have one when I get home from work tonight.

I have several ready.  Unfortunately, due to my work schedule, I won’t be able to drink any of them for the next week.

I have a DIPA still fermenting and nothing IPA related in the kegerator, so I had the wife pick me up a six pack of Torpedo yesterday.

I have a Bell’s Hopslam clone which I just racked iinto secondary last night. I am going to dry hop it tonight. I do have a Burton Ale on tap. In case that doesn’t count a bought a 6-pack of SKA’s Modus Hoperandi.

I have an IPA about ready to bottle :frowning:

I did pick up a bomber of Ballast Point Sculpin IPA last night, I guess I’ll have that in lieu of homebrew.

No IPA homebrewed for today, but will be busting out a six month old Dogfish 120 from my limited stash…

Happy International IPA Day!  4 taps always flowing and they are all IPA’s.  The hops listed on the sign are the dry hops.  I brew 10+ gallon batches and separate into 6.5 gallon carboys with different yeasts and dry-hops - it is amazing how much different an IPA can taste with just a few variables!  Long live the hop!

Does IPA really need a day?

I mean all the hop heads and tough guys are going to go all berserk and hop heady regardless so why the designation? is there a national American Amber Ale day? How about a National Saison day?

That’s the spirit!!!

It’s also world breastfeeding week…

gotta say, I think breastfeeding awareness is far more deserving of a designated time period than IPA.

Answer me this would any of you NOT had an IPA tonight if it WASN’T NIPAD?

RDWHAIPA!!!

:slight_smile:

I would not be drinking an IPA tonight if it wasn’t NIPAD. But since it is I will be. But unfortunately since I get off work after midnight, I will be a bit late.

There is such an oversaturation of National Whatever Day that it’s become amusing. Hell there’s National Corndog Day !  So I don’t see National IPA Day as some kind of slap in the face to other beer styles.  I just think it’s cool that craft beer has worked its way into the trivial “National Days” . Like it or not, IPA is very popular. Having said that though, I buy and brew many different styles. Any number would be deserving.

Enjoying my Gonzo IPA after a long day!

I didn’t have one ready, but I have been studying for my next IPA brew.  So I have been sampling some…  West Coast IPA from Green Flash Brewery, Fat Head’s Headhunter IPA, Stone IPA, Two Hearted Ale… etc.  I am definately going to brew a Two Hearted inspired Ale but I’m leaning towards brewing that West Coast IPA next… I just love that columbus funk.

Those are some great study aids:) cheers!

Well, hops do stimulate milk production…

I wonder if there is a National “No Day” Day?  That one day a year there is no designated day.

I don’t mind the “days”.  It would be better if it included a day off (either the day of or the day after )
