Need more beer recs? Here's our list of the best beers to buy. We also looked at user-generated review sites like BeerAdvocate and all the IPAs that have won major awards. We chatted with chefs, restaurateurs, bartenders, and beverage directors about their favorite IPAs. A naturally brewed IPA from malts, grains and hops, Founders All Day Session IPA has relatively lower alcohol content without compromising great taste. We reached out to people in the industry who know a ton about IPAs-way more that the apocryphal flannel-wearing dude at the bar.

Today's IPAs can be divided into regional categories like West Coast or New England. Named after the Harrogate Stray, its pine-like aroma with mild fruity flavour makes it a perfect outdoor drink. To prevent it from going bad, extra hops were added and the alcohol content was increased so the beer would make it through the long, hot trip without refrigeration. In the 19th century, England would ship beer to British troops in India. All Day IPA and All Day Vacay were such big hits that we decided to add another member to the family.

They get that bitter flavor from their high hops content. You might think all IPAs taste hoppy and bitter, and you would be mostly right.
