Ilkley launches new IPA with all American hops
Yorkshire-based Ilkley Brewery has launched a new 7% IPA called the Chief, named after the American hops it uses.
The beer is part of Ilkley's Origins range and uses Magnum, Columbus and Chinook hops.
Speaking about the launch of the Chief, Chris Ives, one of Ilkley Brewery's directors, said: "The last three years have been incredible for us as a brewery - our flagship and core beers have won us a string of awards and a loyal following which we're delighted with. What we want to do now is build on this success and experience to brew truly innovative and intriguing ales that combine our passion for making top-quality ale with our appetite for new and exciting ingredients and techniques.
"The Chief is a great example of this philosophy as it is a bold and brave beer which takes influence from America's brilliant brewing heritage, but it is a beer that still holds qualities which Ilkley Brewery is known for."
