IPA can stand for India Pale Ale, a style of beer that's known for its hop flavor and aroma:
Description
IPAs are a type of pale ale with a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) and more hops than standard pale ales. They can be bold and bitter, or refreshing and fruity, and can range from light and crisp to heavy and intense.
History
IPAs originated in England in the late 1700s, when British brewers added hops to their beer to help it preserve during the long voyage to India. The hops' preservative oils kept the beer fresh in the tropical climate.
