Brewdog Lucky Break NE IPA
What it is
Lucky Break NE IPA is a hazy, unfiltered India Pale Ale from Brewdog. It is known for its soft mouthfeel and juicy hop character. This beer is brewed with a blend of hops that contribute tropical and citrus notes. The haze comes from the yeast and proteins that remain in the beer, which are not filtered out. This results in a cloudy appearance and a fuller body compared to traditional clear IPAs.
How people cook with it
This beer is best enjoyed on its own as a refreshing beverage. It can also be a good accompaniment to certain foods.

To best experience Lucky Break NE IPA, serve it chilled in a clean glass. A tulip or snifter glass can help concentrate the aromas. Avoid shaking the can or bottle, as this can disturb the sediment. Pour gently to preserve the haze and mouthfeel. The beer's complex hop profile can be appreciated with each sip. It is designed to be a flavorful and aromatic drinking experience, showcasing the brewer's hop selection and yeast choice.
