August 6 is National IPA Day and we’ve four classic India Pale Ales that you’ll want to celebrate the day with.

Brewed From Scratch (Hershey, PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has returned a popular limited release that evolved from its experimental small-batch Scratch Series. Mercilessly dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado, Tröegs Field Study Summer IPA is a 6.2% ABV slightly hazy IPA with bright grapefruit, mango, pear and melon notes.

“Field Study began life as Scratch #327, when we first started tinkering with some new hopping techniques,” explains Tröegs brewmaster John Trogner. “We built on those experiments over the next few Scratch releases and landed on a grain bill featuring a backbone of Rustic Pale Malt.”

“Rustic Pale malt is kilned slightly higher than most pale malts to amplify the complex cereal and slightly nutty notes,” added Trogner.

Enduring The Test Of Time (Waitsfield, VT) – Not many craft beers, that have been brewed for more than decade continue to command the kind of enthusiasm that they once did. But Lawson’s Finest Liquids has a cornerstone IPA that has stood the test of time and for good reason.

A beer that is actually brewed by Lawson’s Finest Liquids at Two Roads Brewing (another fine brewery) in Stratford, CT, Lawson’s Sip of Sunshine is an 8% ABV India Pale Ale packed with juicy tropical fruit notes, bright floral aromas and layers upon layers of hop flavor.

Terrapin Goes Hawaiian (Athens, GA) – Terrapin Beer has a popular year-round IPA that was inspired the iconic Hawaiian POG  juice.
