BRRRRRRRRR – Cold IPA from Hofbrouwerij Reijngoud in Rotterdam is a modern take on the American Cold IPA concept. This is not a traditional IPA, but an india pale lager deliberately designed as a counterpoint to full-bodied, fruity New England styles. At 7% ABV, it combines a dry character with fruity notes and crisp bitterness.

The Cold IPA trend emerged in America as a response to the heavier hop beers of recent decades. Hofbrouwerij Reijngoud, established in 2019 in Rotterdam's historic hofbogen quarter, brings this contemporary style to the Netherlands. The result is refreshing and well-balanced – perfect for those who enjoy hoppy beer without the full body of a traditional IPA.
