Rupee IPA & Food Pairings 101

Do you love a good IPA but don’t know what spicy flavors pair best with your favorite brew? To tame the heat, you’re going to want a malt forward IPA which balances out spice & flavor. 

The IPAs of today trace their origin to 19th century British India. Ales enjoyed then were less hoppy & bitter than today. When shipping beer to India via ship, brewers in Britain realized adding in more hops naturally preserved the beer to help make the six month voyage. As a result, the taste became more hoppy & bitter, like the popular IPAs of today. 

Our world-renowned master beer brewer has crafted a British-Indian style ale with a subtle hop character & smooth finish. Rupee is putting the India back in India Pale Ale and suggests these nine firey & flavorful entrees as the ideal IPA and world food pairings!
