Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA wins National IPA Challenge

By Rick Published: March 5, 2012

Fat Head's Brewery & Saloon's Head Hunter IPA -- already considered one of the best India pale ales in the nation -- took home the top prize Sunday at the annual National IPA Championship. The event, run like the NCAA's March Madness basketball tournament with beers judged against each other until one is left standing, is sponsored by the Brewing News. The competition featured 128 beers. Fat Head's beat out Firestone Walker Brewing Co.'s Union Jack IPA in the final matchup. Believe it or not, those two beers squared off in the 2010 final with Head Hunter winning then, too. Ohio was well-represented in the competition.
