What Is an IPA?
IPA stands for India Pale Ale. It is a hoppy beer style originating in 18th-century England that has become emblematic of the modern craft beer revolution. IPAs are characterised by their distinct bitterness, intense hop aromas, and a flavour spectrum that ranges from citrus and tropical fruit notes to resinous or floral nuances.
There are several IPA sub-styles, and Swiss brewers excel at each:
-
West Coast IPA: bitter, clear, dry, very hoppy
-
NEIPA (New England IPA): hazy, juicy, round, less bitter
-
Session IPA: lower alcohol, perfect for casual sipping
-
Double IPA (DIPA): stronger in alcohol and hops, intense
-
Hazy IPA: cloudy, fruity, soft style
The Best Swiss IPAs on Craftt
The Swiss microbreweries on Craftt produce world-class IPAs, with carefully selected hops and recognised expertise. Each brewer brings their own signature: some IPAs feature classic American hops (Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe), while others explore European hops or experimental varieties.
Whether you prefer fresh summer IPAs, juicy NEIPAs, or powerful Double IPAs, you'll find what you're looking for in our selection. All our IPAs are brewed by independent Swiss producers, delivered fresh directly to your door.
