India Pale Ale (IPA)
India Pale Ale (IPA) is a style of pale ale characterised by a pronounced hop bitterness, aroma, and higher alcohol content than standard ales. It takes its name from the heavily hopped beers once brewed in Britain for export to India.
IPAs in Budapest's craft bars
The global craft beer revival has made IPAs a fixture in Budapest's ruin bars and craft taprooms. Varieties range from West Coast IPAs (dry, resinous, bitter) to hazy New England IPAs (juicy, tropical, low bitterness), giving visitors a wide choice alongside local Hungarian lagers.
