Beers similar to First World Problems

Stewart Brewing

Belgian IPA·United Kingdom·6.2% ABV·One of 9 Belgian IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share First World Problems's bitter and dry character. A 2014 homebrew competition win started it: James Hardacre's original recipe, since refined, became this Belgian IPA. Assertive bitterness from New World hops meets subtle fruit esters from the Belgian yeast, malted rye adds a spicy depth, and the finish is dry and peppery. 6.2 % ABV, 80 IBU. It pairs the hop boldness of an American IPA with the fruity, spicy complexity of Belgian yeast.
