The Great 28 is featured in our Cheese+ 2017 issue<\/a>. Check out 27 other pairings here<\/a>.<\/em><\/h4>\n

The acronym \u201cIPA\u201d\u2014which stands for India Pale Ale\u2014typically conjures an image of a golden, hoppy glass of suds. However, this vision of the increasingly popular beer style doesn\u2019t tell the whole story. \u201cThe IPA category is stretched in lots of different directions these days,\u201d says Tim Adams, co-founder of Maine\u2019s Oxbow Brewing Company.<\/p>\n

Adams would know. Oxbow crafts some IPAs with a single hop variety, and others with a blend. He experiments with yeast, souring certain beers before letting them soak in oak barrels. The result is a lineup of unexpected, grassy brews that are nothing like your standard Lagunitas.<\/p>\n

While all IPAs focus on hops, Oxbow proves there\u2019s plenty of wiggle room in execution. Massachusetts breweries Tree House and Trillium<\/a> are crafting juicy, aromatic brews emblematic of New England. Meanwhile, Colorado\u2019s Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project and Paradox Beer Company<\/a> produce a range of wild IPAs, beers defined by spontaneous fermentation (from, say, yeast cells that sneak in on a berry\u2014though most brewers encourage development with specific strains and bacteria). Then there are self-explanatory single-hop IPAs, each highlighting the wonders of a lone hop strain. New iterations are created daily, presenting flavors and aromas aplenty to pair with a range of cheeses.<\/p>\n

Wild IPAs<\/h2>\n

These beers are fermented to bring out the tart (think sour cherry) and funky (think wet blanket) tastes that complement fruity hops\u2014Brettanomyces<\/em> yeast, for example, provides brews with wonderful caramelized-pineapple notes. Zoe Brickley of Vermont\u2019s Jasper Hill Farm<\/a> suggests matching these intense flavors with a New World Alpine wedge such as Switzerland\u2019s Scharfe Maxx<\/a>, a sticky, hard cheese with aromas of slow-cooked onions and cured meat. A similarly savory washed rind also does the trick.<\/p>\n

New England IPAs<\/h2>\n

These turbid, unfiltered brews are known for colossal aromas of grapefruit, mango, and lime zest. Bold flavors call for equally bold pairings\u2014sharp clothbound cheddar<\/a> showcases sweetness and umami notes to balance bitterness from aggressive hops, and fudgy, brawny blues<\/a> also find harmony.<\/p>\n

Single-Hop IPAs<\/h2>\n

These stripped-down quaffs highlight specific hop flavors\u2014such as the clean mango and peach notes of Mosaic hops or the bright orange-blossom aroma found in Amarillo hops. Lemony ch\u00e8vre offers brightness to offset the clean bitterness of the Centennial hops found in Bell\u2019s Brewery Two Hearted Ale, says Matthew Thayer, owner of Boston cheese shop American Provisions<\/a>. Uplands Cheese Company Rush Creek Reserve<\/a>, a soft-ripened wheel wrapped in spruce bark, provides a woodsy sweetness that echoes the soft pine notes of Lost Nation\u2019s Mosaic-laden beer.<\/p>\n
