The World's Best IPA—According To The International Beer And Cider Awards
IPA subcategories dominated entries at the International Beer and Cider Awards this year. getty The best IPA gold medal winners in various IPA subcategories were recently announced at this year's International Beer and Cider Awards. In early June, judges tasted 1436 entries at this year's competition held in Idaho Falls. The competition divided IPAs into 10 categories that celebrate a diverse range of hop-forward beers ranging from English-style IPAs to experimental IPAs and the ever-popular hazy IPAs. As expected, breweries entered more IPAs in the category than other styles. 'IPA entries continue to dominate the competition,' Lisa Smith, vice president of the North American Brewers Association, which runs the competition, told me via email. As is standard for beer competitions, only three medals are awarded per category: gold, silver and bronze. Though the competition is open to breweries across the globe, American-made craft beers dominated the IPA category. West Coast breweries had a good showing but were not the only states represented, as can sometimes be the case with IPA categories at beer competitions. One thing I love about the International Beer and Cider Awards is the diversity of IPA offerings mentioned above. I remain a big fan of the IPA style overall, but even I grow tired of endless variations of hazy IPA offerings, though very few things in life beat a well-done one. The IPAs below vary in taste, style and appearance but were all deemed the best of the best in their respective categories. Prickly Pear Lewis & Clark Brewing Company Helena, MT Helper Beer, Mindset extra Pale ale Helper Beer Helper, Utah Citra Starburst, TapRoom Beer Co., San Diego, CA Punk Rock Time IPA, Baerlic Brewing Co., Portland, OR Wastelandia, Grains of Wrath Camas, WA Breakside Kyoto Soul, Breakside Brewery Milwaukie, Portland, OR Featherweight Light IPA, Mother Earth Brew Co., Nampa, Idaho Take Me to the River, Meanwhile Brewing Co., Austin, Texas Albumurky, Boxing Bear Brewing Co., Albuquerque, NM Fukiphino, Redrock Brewing, Salt Lake City, Utah Unfortunately, many of these IPA award winners are regional specialties. If you're interested in a particular IPA, however, you should contact the brewery and see if they ship their beer or have plans to distribute to an area near you. Most of these breweries are also located in wonderful places to visit, so it's a good excuse for a beer-centric trip. I'm also a big believer that the best IPA is often the one that's brewed closest to you. So if a certain sub-type of IPA appeals to you, tell the staff at your local brewery and see if they make anything like it or have recommendations for where you might find it nearby. As I've said before, the best IPAs I've had include award winning brews as well as obscure IPAs I've found fresh on draft in taprooms near my home.

The actress, known for her work as Miss Clara Livingston on Bridgerton, was standing with a friend in a Joe & the Juice located in West London back on Feb. 8 when the miscreant, who was identified by The Daily Mail as 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, crept up behind her and casually slid her cell phone off of the counter next to her. She noticed immediately, jumping into action with her friend to retrieve her property, beating him down to the ground with the device once it was back in her possession. "They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did," the actress told the publication.
