The acronym IPA stands for India Pale Ale.
India Pale Ale (IPA) is a type of beer that is characterized by its hoppy flavor and higher alcohol content. It originated in England in the 19th century and was produced specifically for export to India, where the high alcohol content and hoppy flavor helped to preserve the beer during the long journey. Today, IPA is a popular beer style worldwide and is known for its bitter, floral, and citrusy flavors.
