American brewers now use the term for any intense beer containing more of everthing–hops, malt, and most importantly, alcohol. Below are some popular imperial styles, examples of each you have probably seen, and your best bet for finding some featured during “officialâ€Â DC Beer Week events. Got your own ideas?

Thanks for directing folks our way. Knew you’d be a fan of the DIPAs. Hear Big Hunt has had a decent selection lately. Will see you next week I’m sure.

DIPAs are pretty awesome inventions, I’ll have to head over to Big Hunt and check it out again. The article was great, I get asked questions on that style a lot so it is a very useful guide!
