Peaks and Pints National IPA Day 2020

As if we needed an official day to pay homage to the smooth, delightfully bitter taste of IPA … and yet, here we are. Today is National IPA Day, a day when we celebrate the little cone flowers we call hops and the beer style that showcases them: the India Pale Ale. Peaks & Pints will be celebrating the over-hopped beer made famous for its resiliency during long sea voyages by ship by pouring 10 tapped IPAs into our 32-ounce Campfire Crowlers. We’ll be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. so you can carry out cylinders of Boneyard, Double Mountain, Fort George, Kulshan, Reuben’s, Ruse, Structures, Wayfinder and others, then discuss the merits of individual hops the same way sommeliers might extol grape varietals around the campfire or around the pile of laundry.

Today, Carla would probably pour Norm a hazy IPA while he told the bar about his Milk-Bone underwear. This is not an inherently bad thing. We think critically about the food we eat and the books we read, so why not about the beers we guzzle? American beer is more interesting and nuanced than ever before, and it continues to evolve and grow. Though America certainly did not invent beer, this hop-forward approach is unique and deserves to be celebrated.

Have a hoppy day!
