Beer Style: IPA Family
Imperial Stormtrooper IPA
Foam Ranger Jimmy Paige took first place in the 2000 Dixie Cup with an Imperial IPA which he claims was more “like an American Barleywine at the time it was judged.” Aged approximately 7 months old at judging, Jimmy claims he named the beer Imperial Stormtrooper because “that was the only thing I could think of with the word ‘Imperial’ in it.”
24 Carrot IPA
This beer, by Bev Blackwood, was “dry carroted” and the mouthfeel defined as “crunchy.” In truth, the carrot stick included in the contest bottle picked up a lot of the hop character of the I.P.A. and proved to be quite tasty, as was the beer!
Bierce’s Bitter IPA (2 Step Recipe)
India Pale Ale, n. A style of beer inaccessible to stovetop homebrewers — unless you use the Texas Two-Step method.
Surly Brewing Company Furious IPA clone
According to Surly Brewing Co., Furious is “An amber-colored ale with citrusy-hoppy aromas and flavors, balanced out by a chewy caramel malt backbone (sweetness), with a refreshing bitter finish.”
Rye Pale Ale
All the hoppiness of an Indian Pale Ale (IPA), with rye malt rounding out the flavor profile – RyePA. — Bader Beer & Wine Supply & Bader Winery, Vancouver, Washington

Widmer Brewing’s W-10 Pitch Black IPA clone
A black IPA?! Originally released in 2010 as W-10, Widmer now simply calls this beer Pitch Black IPA.
Mike McDole’s Double IPA
Based on the Russian River Brewing Company’s Pliny The Elder, this recipe has two hop additions (Northern Brewer and Cascade), a higher starting gravity and a 153 °F (67 °C) versus 151 °F (66 °C) mash temperature. One of the winners of Boston Brewing Company’s LongShot contest.
Hop Torpedoes Away
Bend Brewing’s Hophead Imperial IPA clone
Bend Brewing Company’s 2007 GABF winning imperial IPA. The secret to a good Imperial IPA is dry-hopping. It can make or
break this style. It is very important to have a huge aroma that leads you into the beer, complementing the inherent bitterness.

O’Shea Brewing’s Hop Monster Double IPA
This West Coast style double IPA is a topseller. It weighs in at 8.1% ABV, and, with over a 1/2 lb. of hops, the IBU’s register in at a whopping 141 IBU’s. This beer is very smooth with a nice hop punch and a great citrusy aroma. Let this beer age and you will want more!
