Thursday, August 3 is National IPA Day. Pretty awesome holiday to celebrate, right?! This week at PorchDrinking, we’re celebrating this glorious holiday in one of the only ways we know how: with beers and roundups! We have compiled all of our favorite IPAs from around the country. Read on to find out what IPAs our Southeast team is loving right now.

The haze craze for New England style IPAs have created quite a demand in the Southeast, and the brewers are listening. Not all of our favorite IPAs are New England Style, but they definitely make an appearance with some amazing NEIPAs coming out of the Southeast right now.
