Greene King IPA is now the fastest-selling cask ale in the UK. It embodies all that is best about British beer, with its clean, fresh, hoppy taste and distinctive tawny colour. IPA stands for India Pale Ale, a particular type of beer that was brewed for export to ex-patriots during the days of the Indian Raj.
The beer's hoppy taste and aroma comes from two varieties of English hops, which are combined with pale and crystal malts. Greene King IPA is a great beer to enjoy particularly with certain foods such as curry, Mexican and other spicy food. But it's equally enjoyable on its own.
Greene King IPA has been brewed in Bury St Edmunds for over 200 years and to this day retains that distinctive hoppy taste and aroma.
For over two hundred years, the master brewers of Greene King have been crafting fine ale under the big skies and amongst the sun drenched fields in the heart of suffolk, in historic Bury St Edmunds, where they have been making beer since the time of the doomsday book. We use the country's finest locally grown barley from the bread basket of England, malted just 2 miles from the brewery. We still use water drawn from the chalk aquifer beneath the brewery - the same that Benjamin Greene and Frederick King used when they first started making beer 200 years ago. We are one of the few beers that use 100% UK sourced ingredients. A proper pint of reassuring quality and moreishness
