Anspach & Hobday IPA
One of the first beers Anspach & Hobday brewed, The IPA follows the West Coast of America with British malt and the hops Summit, Ekuanot and Enigma. Summit brings pithy citrus and a touch of dankness, Enigma adds over-ripe mango and melon, and a firm bitterness holds it together. Munich malt takes the place of crystal, which keeps the beer clean and bright. In 2024 it was CAMRA's Champion Beer of London and, nationally, won the IPA category and overall silver.
