Beer-style: India Pale Ale (Specialty)
Gordon Strong’s Cold IPA
Whether it’s a new, distinct style or just a modified version of an existing style, one thing we can all agree on is that cold IPAs are delicious. Brew this smooth, dry IPA that hits all the right hoppy notes.
Chefs Tipsy Elephant
This specialty IPA features the African marula fruit — yellow stone fruits about the size of golf balls that are high in sugar, sweet, syrupy in texture, and with an almost citrus-like flavor. Marula was said to accentuate the hop character. Brewed by the 1000 Hills Chef School, it took first place in the IPA category at the 2024 Intervarsitybrew competition.
New Realm Brewing Co.’s Elani Cold IPA clone
This is the first recipe Geoff Belcher, Head Brewer at New Realm Brewing Co.’s Charleston, South Carolina, location brewed with Elani® as it provides a clean slate for the hop. The resulting beer is bursting with citrus and stone fruit flavors and aromas.
Ghost Monkey Brewery’s UNBoiled clone

I Don’t Want to Change the World
I came up with this recipe with my brewing buddy Keith Bartlett to answer a long-standing question we’d both been wondering: How close to a New England IPA could you get using only British hops? It turns out, pretty close. This beer has all the juicy, tropical fruit flavors you’d expect, complemented by a subtle spicy note just to remind you where the hops are from.
Stone Brewing Co.’s Pataskala Red X IPA clone
The key to replicating a beer of this nature is to use the freshest hops possible and, as always with hop-forward beers, minimizing oxygen uptake during dry-hopping, transferring, and packaging processes.
Urban Chestnut Brewing Co.’s Hallertau Haze clone
Urban Chestnut Brewing Co.’s Hallertau Haze clone (5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)OG = 1.050 FG = 1.011IBU = 25 SRM = 5 ABV = 5.2% A departure for a brewery known for its lagers, this
