A beer this distinctively hoppy inspires many a tall tale. And they don’t come taller than South Bay Bessie, the legendary monster that roams the shallow depths of Lake Erie. Double India pale ales are a strong, very hoppy style. Also known as Imperial IPAs, these are essentially India pale ales that are brewed with higher amounts of malt and hops. While still relatively new, it is one of the fastest growing styles in the craft industry and a favorite among “hopheads”.
