Celebrate IPA Day with Joe Canal's

Earlier today, we Tweeted that every day is IPA Day at Joe Canal's. The hoppy style that craft beer fans so adore is available at unbeatable prices every day, in bottles, cans, and Growlers. We'll note just a few of our favorites here.

Founders Centennial IPA. Get ready to bask in the glory of the frothy head’s floral bouquet. Relish the citrus accents from the abundance of dry hopping. This one’s sweet, yet balanced. Malty undertones shake hands with the hop character for a finish that never turns too bitter. 7.2% ABV, 65 IBU's, rated 99 by RateBeer. In bottles and cans.

Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. Our Grapefruit Sculpin is the latest take on our signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin’s unique flavor, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements our IPA’s citrusy hop character. Grapefruit’s a winter fruit, but this easy-drinking ale tastes like summer. 7% ABV, 70 IBU's.

Boulevard Brewing Pop-Up Session I.P.A.  Pop-Up Session I.P.A. joins its big brothers Single-Wide and Double-Wide in our trailer park of hop-centric beers. This “session” model is built for frequent excursions, with a very drinkable character and relatively low bitterness tucked behind a big, fruity hop aroma.  4.3% ABV, 40.5 IBU's.

Aroma: Big, fruity hops
Malt: Subtle, biscuity
Hops: Lots of hop aroma, moderate bitterness
Balance:   Hops
Body: Light to medium

Lagunitas IPA. A well-rounded, highly drinkable IPA. A bit of Caramel Malt barley provides the richness that mellows out the twang of the hops. This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries of Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice en route, nor as old as the 10,000 miles or so of Di-Hyrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentoid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again. Now stop. Think again. And stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on. 6.2% ABV, 51.5 IBU's.


Kane Overhead. Currently on the Growler menu at Woodbridge. Overhead is an American-style Imperial IPA.  This beer is loaded with our favorite hops; Amarillo, Columbus, Centennial and Simcoe.  It’s bittered with a gigantic charge of Columbus and Simcoe early in the kettle that is followed by several rounds of late kettle and whirlpool hops using Amarillo, Centennial and Simoce.  In the end, Overhead is brewed with over 5 pounds of hops per barrel which includes two rounds of dry hopping to create a cascade of pine, resin and citrus hop flavors that consume your palate.  Although we brew Overhead with the same imported Pilsner and light crystal malts as Head High and ferment it with our house ale strain to produce a dry crisp finish, this blend of different hops creates an entirely new experience all its own. 8.2% ABV, 100+ IBU's.

River Horse IPA. An American style IPA, brewed with American and New Zealand hops added continuously throughout the boil giving an aroma with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. The balance of hops and malt body make this the ideal year-round IPA. 5.7% ABV.

As you see from the choices listed here, our selection of IPA's is quite large. We carry local brews and the best from across the US and around the world. Celebrate IPA Day the responsible way-with selections from Joe Canal's.
