94: An American and a Belgian Walk Into a Bar

Episode Summary

The latest Style Roulette episode talks about Belgian IPAs

Episode Notes

The latest Style Roulette episode talks about Belgian IPAs, a hybrid between classic Belgian golden ales and hop-forward American IPAs.

Clarification: 21C is not actually a style in the official BJCP guidelines, although it does list various different IPA styles unnumbered after 21B (Specialty IPA). The app we were using lined up 21C with the first of these Specialty IPAs, which was Belgian IPA. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
