IPA stands for India Pale Ale, a style of beer known for its strong hop flavor and higher alcohol content. It originated in England during the 18th century and was designed to survive long sea voyages to British colonies, particularly India. Brewers used more hops and higher alcohol levels as preservatives, which led to the distinctively bitter, hoppy taste that defines IPAs.
