Made in Minnesota: Seven of the Best Minnesota IPAs

The popularity of the bitter, hoppy IPA is a trend that keeps steadily moving forward. IPAs are always popular in Minnesota because we have so many local breweries producing outstanding India Pale Ales. We thought we’d share a six-pack-plus-one of our hoppy favorites. It’s like picking your favorite child – we have a special affection for all Minnesota breweries but for the sake of making a list, we’re taking a stand. Here in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, we’ve come up with seven of the best Minnesota IPAs.

But before we offer our take on the preeminent Minnesota-made IPAs, you can thank the British Empire for making IPA the first global brew. The story about how it got here includes an equal mix of facts and opinions, but it’s certainly interesting.
