Hailing from Vermont, which is where New England IPAs were first brewed, it is only natural that we would have our own take on this style of beer – and After Glow is it. We took our regular New England IPA recipe and amplified it with a bigger malt and hop profile. It’s cloudy, fruity, and super juicy with an artfully refined bitterness. Did we mention the smooth hidden alcohol? It’s a crusher, and it will help you get your glow on.

A hazy yellow base with vibrant aromas of pineapple, mango, kiwi, and passion fruit. Juicy flavors of lemon and citrus zest with a creamy texture. Finishes with an aromatic quality that smells like fresh fruit on a hot, Hilton Head summer day.

Around 2003, a small Vermont brewpub – Alchemist – set out to produce a beer with as much hop flavor and aroma as possible, without the constraints of traditional methods, such as the clarity that comes from filtering or the heavy bitterness often associated with traditional India Pale Ales. The result was a beer they named Heady Topper, which used a yeast strain that provided an almost juicy and fruity flavor profile.

The popularity of Heady Topper grew rapidly, inspiring other brewers in New England to replicate the brewing techniques. It wasn’t until 2017, though, that the Brewers Association, a non-profit organization of brewers with nearly 6,000 U.S. brewery members and 37,000 individual members, recognized this new style and officially established the category of New England IPA.

Today, New England IPAs are one of the most-popular beers being produced by brewers across the country. Beer drinkers seemingly can’t get enough of this very flavorful style of beer, including our own beer connoisseurs at Lincoln & South.
