Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and hoppy character as ZZ IPA. One of Naparbier's two founding beers — still in production since 2009. Idaho 7, Citra, and Topaz hops deliver an explosion of tropical and citrus aromatics. Described as 'when you think hazy, this is the beer you imagine — pumped full of hops and DANK as hell.' A cornerstone of the Spanish craft IPA movement. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
