Beer Style: IPA Family
Revolution Brewing Co.’s Infinity-Hero IPA clone
Revolution calls Infinity-Hero IPA a New Generation IPA. “The whole intention of Infinity-Hero is to create more of a new-school IPA using unique hop varieties and different processes,” says Head Brewer Jim Cibak.
Revolution Brewing Co.’s Anti-Hero IPA clone
The flagship from Revolution Brewing and a quintessential Midwest IPA. According to Revolution’s Head Brewer Jim Cibak, the goal with Anti-Hero IPA is brewing a sessionable hoppy beer with a firm malt foundation (but not overly sweet) and layered “C-hop” flavor and aroma. A beer where there’s enough malt to balance out all the wonderful kettle and dry-hop additions you’re throwing at it.
Oakshire Brewing Co.’s A Life Beyond the Dream clone
Dextrose is used as the catalyst for the dryness of such a big beer while letting the malt balance out the huge hop load. Oakshire likes using the Incognito® hop oil (both of these varieties are available in smaller homebrew quantities) to get the resinous character while maintaining the mouthfeel for this triple IPA.

Tropical Punch IPA
The use of yeast strains specifically chosen for their thiol enhancing capabilities are becoming common. Here is a way to optimize their use.
Kinsmen Brewing Co.’s Pollendrome DIPA clone
“We knew we wanted to try to make a honey DIPA because of the thiol boost, so we designed it to be as much of a ‘hazy DIPA’ as possible.”
Wayfinder Brewing Co.’s Chronokinetic Cold IPA clone
A blinding sunlight-colored IPA, cool-fermented to showcase its clean balance of new Yakima hops and tropical New Zealand varieties. Juicy, tropical, citrus-lemon, mint, and a bit of dank. Chronokinetic is a sticky, time-altering journey to the hop nebula.
