National IPA Day: Tucson Taprooms Offering Deals on August 3


August 2, 2023
By Matt Sterner

Some say they’re too bitter. Others get all googly-eyed when they think about its full-bodied presence. No matter how you feel about India Pale Ales (IPAs), they’re worth celebrating because the brew is considered to be one of the most popular styles.

Therefore, National IPA Day is upon us and we must honor it by sipping on its greatness on Thursday, August 3 — a very Thirsty Thursday it shall be.

Also, the following local breweries and taprooms in town are celebrating with specials on the beloved IPA. Keep in mind, you don’t need to drink an IPA on National IPA Day. Simply visiting a local spot in town (if it wasn’t already on your calendar) is always appreciated.
