Cold IPA is here to stay. With its bright, lean, and bitter profile, the style continues to appeal to those who seek a counterpoint to softer hazy IPAs. From the start, the brewer who came up with the style while brewmaster at Wayfinder in Portland, Oregon—Kevin Davey, now co-owner of Heater Allen and Gold Dot Beer—has been vocal about what the style should and should not be.

In this 54-minute video course, Davey lays out everything you need to know to brew a great example of this “Wester than West Coast” style, including:

• cold IPA explained, and why it is closer to malt liquor than IPL or brut IPA
  
• embracing American two-row malt
  
• choosing and working with adjuncts
  
• cereal mashing on infusion systems
  
• hop character and selecting your varieties
  
• locking in bitterness with early hop additions
  
• dry hopping “warm” for better aroma
  
• fermenting warm with lager yeast
  
• yeast choice and hop creep
  
• repitching yeast from a lager brew
  
• crashing and fining for brilliant clarity
