Brewing News is thrilled to annouce the 4th Annual National IPA Challenge<\/strong>.

The complete IPA tournament bracket will be posted on-line. The competition will take place at select locations and beer festivals across the nation, beginning in February 2011.<\/p>\nAs with last year, IPA lovers will be able to choose their winners for each round on-line. They will log onto the web and read a brief description of your beer as well as view an image (be sure to fill out the description on the entry form, as well as send an image or logo via email). Prizes will be awarded for readers with correct NIPAC brackets. The top prize will be a free case of the 2011 NIPAC championship IPA<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAn announcement will be made when the brackets are open!<\/p>\n
