Beer Website Names Main Line Brew Pennsylvania's Best IPA

MAIN LINE, PA — Beer is one thing many Americans can agree on, despite the numerous varieties, styles, brands, and ABV levels. And here in Pennsylvania, one popular website took stock of what its readers thinks of PA brews, with an Main Line-made beer earning a top honor.

Breweries in Pennsylvania recently released its list of the 2020 Breweries In PA Readers’ Choice Winners.

Winners were chosen after a two-week nomination period then a two-week voting period.

After more than 30,000 votes, the website released the final list of readers' choice winners.

In the category of Best IPA, it was a brew from Ardmore's exceedingly popular Tired Hands that won the top spot.

Tired Hands' Alien Church was named the best IPA in the state, per the website.

Tired Hands describes Alien Church as "very alive and pungent and bright."

The 7 percent alcohol by volume IPA is "brewed with the fluffiest of oats and hopped AND dry hopped very aggressively with a blend of our favorite American varietals."

Tasting notes include mandarin orange, floral lychee, peach push pop, and musky guava.

Below is a review of Alien Church from the beer-aficionado app Untappd featured on Breweries in Pennsylvania:

DDH Alien Church is the intensely amplified & totally fuzzed out iteration of our Reptoid Alien with Photosynthesizing Tongue Oat IPA. Brewed with the same fluffy malted oats as always, and hopped, again as always! super aggressively with Cascade and Columbus. Dry hopped first with the same huge dose of the choicest Citra, Mosaic, and Chinook we’ve come to love and then blasted over the skull with the heaviest of hands with a mountain of even more Citra and additional tropical & punchy & hyper fresh Galaxy for the secondary dry hopping. We hope you enjoy this one as much as you’ve come to enjoy Alien Church over the last several years.
