Starting tonight at Quenchers - IPA FEST

IPAs those bitter bombs of hoppity goodness, get highlighted at Quenchers for the rest of the month. There's two groups of beers being tapped tonight, August 3rd, and two more being tapped in two weeks, on the 17th. IPAs tend to pair well with bbq, the woods and pine trees, citrus, and some spicy foods. Not sure if they're referring to regional styles, or just regions, but the offerings are divided into 4 groups. 3 of them, Upper Midwest, East Coast, and West Coast, are also what I personally consider to be sub-styles of IPA.

GROUP ONE - UPPER MIDWEST
Bell's Two Hearted Ale (MI) - 7.0% ABV
Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree IPA (MI) - 7.0% ABV
Founder's Centennial IPA (MI) - 7.2% ABV
