East End Brewing’s Big Hop IPA

By On January 28, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Beer

This week’s Thirsty Thursday beer is East End Brewing’s Big Hop IPA. I could take this time to tell you all about the brewery but I don’t have to. A local news station did a nice little video that tells you all about this great Pittsburgh beer.

Big Hop

Loads of Centennial and Cascade hops make this a truly American IPA, brewed to be VERY hoppy but not especially bitter, balanced with a solid Munich Malt backbone. Our flagship, and by far, our most popular beer.

Style: India Pale Ale – Availibility: Year Round – Alcohol By Volume: 5.8% – Bitterness: 70 IBUs

Big Hop IPA is one of my personal favorite PA beers. I has a great hoppy flavor that is never to bitter. I believe thats because it well balanced with the type of malts they use. If you ever in Pittsburgh and see it on tap I would suggest you give it a try, if you like this style of beer.

For more information about this beer check out the East End Brewing website and Beer Advocate.

    Hey Jason,
    Thanks for the kind words on the brew and the nice coverage here!

    I also wanted to alert you to something right up your alley (that alley being paved with bacon). We’ve got a Bamberg style Rauchbier in the tank that should be released in a couple of weeks, guaranteed to bring on the smoke!

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Scott,

    Thanks for stopping by! Could you send me a reminder when the Rauchbier is ready. I will stop over to fill up a growler.
