Windows Up — American IPA — Alpine Beer Company

Windows Up is everything you expect and want to find in an American IPA. It comes from the homeland of these beers — Alpine Beer Company, a brewery in San Diego (California, USA) — and as soon as you open it, it hits you with its origin. Great hoppy substance, super fruity and explosive, supported by 7% ABV and a barely noticeable malt base. Elegance in every sip, finishing with just the right bitterness.

San Diego: the world capital of IPAs

San Diego is the city that redefined American IPAs: the climate, the water, and an extraordinarily competitive craft scene have produced some of the most influential IPAs in the world. Alpine Beer Company is one of the breweries that helped build this reputation: small, artisanal, with a precise and recognizable hoppy vision.
