What is Punk IPA? This particular beer described by its makers as a light, golden classic that’s been made with new world hops, thereby creating a riot of flavour.
Punk IPA is a beer with a very special accolade: it was the first ever beer to be produced by BrewDog more than ten years ago, as it’s flagship IPA. BrewDog has this to say on its website: “Our scene-stealing flagship is a byword for craft beer rebellion; synonymous with the insurgency against mass-produced, lowest common denominator beer.”
Is Punk IPA cloudy? Great question! This is a beer that tends to be clear for the most part; it can be a little bit hazy from time to time but this doesn’t impact the flavour of the beer. Is Punk IPA vegan? Yes it is! You’ll be happy to know that over 23 of BrewDog’s beers have been officially certified as vegan. This is also a beer that’s average in strength coming in at 5.6%, and if you’re curious to know how many units of alcohol are in Punk IPA, the answer is 1.85 by UK standards.
This very popular brew has bursts of caramel and tropical fruit including grapefruit, pineapple and lychee, all of which gives it a spiky bitter finish that’s immensely enjoyable to the beer connoisseur’s palate. These ingredients have been sourced carefully from locations around the world, including rich malted barley from the UK and Germany, citrus hops from the Yakima Valley in Washington and even places as far flung as New Zealand. BrewDog is continually working on its fermentation profiles and yeast management to maintain Punk IPA as a top quality beer.
