I just made on Friday a low alcohol IPA-style beer for my wife who will soon deliver our third child. Her tolerance has never been that great, and that will only be decreased by another nine-month dry spell for her. So she could never handle more than a few ounces of my 9.2% IIPA. Considering this, I made a 1.030 IPA-style beer for her. I call it IPA-style, because people seem to reject the notion of a 3% IPA ("IPA by definition is high alcohol...blah blah blah...journey to India...blah blah blah" ). Fully understanding the style guidelines, I still want a big hoppy tasting beer, just with a low alcohol. What's the crime in that?

Anyway, here's the label I came up with. The icon is the International Breastfeeding Symbol. The beer is still fermenting, but the wort was really bitter and not that sweet. Can't wait to taste the finished product.

I'm a big hop fan so I don't see any crime in that. I think that beer should be brewed to taste good. There are plenty of beers to drink to get drunk, but if you can make a good tasting IPA...I would drink it. But of course if you can make a good tasting IPA that has high alcohol...I will drink that too
