Are you ready to get your IPA Day on? It’s happening this Thursday, August 2nd. This will be the 2nd time for this annual calendar event to make an appearance. The famed Beer Wench, who maintains the well written and thoroughly enjoyable blog ‘Drink with The Wench’ along with Ryan Ross of Karl Strauss Brewing Company, established IPA Day. So what’s IPA Day? I'll let the Beer Wench fill you in. Below is an excerpt from her blog:
“IPA Day is not the brainchild of a corporate marketing machine, nor is it meant to serve any particular beer brand. IPA Day is opportunity for all breweries, bloggers, businesses and consumers to connect and share their love of craft beer. It is an opportunity for the entire craft beer culture to combine forces and advocate craft beer through increased education and global awareness.”
IPA is my go to beer as I’m sure it is for many of you. Why then have a special day to celebrate it? I think you should always celebrate what you love. There’s a history behind every beer and IPA has an interesting one. Do some research and see what you find. Here’s a great post I came across on Martyn Cornell’s ‘Zythophile’ site concerning the myths surrounding IPA: http://zythophile.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/four-ipa-myths-that-need-to-be-stamped-out-for-ipaday/
IPA Day will be a regular international occurrence for years to come and certainly something to look forward to. I highly recommend hitting up The Beer Wench’s fabulous site for all of the details on this 1st Thursday of every August event.
Cheers fellow and future IPA lovers!
