How to serve English IPA
For the best experience, serve English IPA at 7–10 °C in a tulip glass to concentrate the hop aroma. Pour with a steady tilt to build a firm head, which helps release the aromatics typical of the ipa style. In South Africa it is commonly sold in 330 ml, 440 ml formats. It pairs naturally with spicy peri-peri chicken, burgers and sharp, tangy cheeses.
