Cold IPA is a modern IPA style that blends lager fermentation character with hop-forward intensity.

This beer delivers bright hop aroma layered over a light, crisp malt base. Unlike traditional IPAs, it finishes drier and cleaner, creating a more refreshing and highly drinkable profile.

Fermenting cool, like a lager — with the exact range depending on your chosen yeast strain — produces a smooth, neutral backbone that allows hop character to stand out without heaviness or lingering sweetness.

Brewing your Cold IPA follows a standard all grain brewing process with a modern fermentation approach:

Mash & Brew: Mash grains, boil wort, and add hops as directed
Ferment: Ferment cool, like a lager — the ideal temperature range depends on which yeast strain you choose
Dry Hop: Add hops post-fermentation to enhance aroma and brightness
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Maintaining proper fermentation temperature helps achieve the clean finish that defines the Cold IPA style.
