Why is India Pale Ale (IPA) the best type of beer?
India Pale Ales (IPAs) are an ideal type of beer for both producers and drinkers for a variety of reasons.

Producers like IPAs because they are cheap and fast to produce compared to other types of beers.  In contrast to a lager, an IPA can be brewed and ready for market in less than half the time.

Drinkers like IPAs for their complex flavors which can vary depending on style from East Coast or West Cost, dry hopped or hazy.  Additionally, IPA often have a higher alcohol content than many other similar beers - which lends to a higher "band for buck" value.
