Kim's brut ipa

Brut IPA is a style that blew up in 2018. I created a beer in November of 2017 at Social Kitchen & Brewery called Hop Champagne. I named the style of the beer “Extra Brut IPA” to describe what I was trying to achieve. Soon after, the beer began to solidify its identity as a unique take on the IPA style. It quickly spread through the San Francisco Bay Area and then around the world.

I created this website to give some explanations of the beer; key points to the style, tips on how to make it, as well as findings from experiments I’ve conducted over the years. I’ve also gathered articles, podcasts, and other resources discussing the style. When Brut IPA first began taking off, I made sure to document the progression of the style through my own lens.
