There’s the hoppy West Coast IPA and there’s the juicy East Coast IPA. Wisconsin, get ready to discover your state India Pale Ale.

Third Space Brewing and the Milwaukee Craft Brewery League and The Crafter Space host the first Wisconsin IPA Fest. Breweries and brewpubs from across the state were invited to submit their best IPA for public sampling and judging by their brewer peers from noon to 5 p.m. Aug. 5.

The event is part of the first Milwaukee Craft Brewery Week, which opens July 29 and runs through Aug. 6.

“We wanted to do this because we want to showcase all the great IPAs being brewed in the state of Wisconsin,” said Kevin Wright, brewmaster and co-founder of Third Space Brewing.

“We wanted a fun excuse to bring all these beers and the brewers together in one place for a cool, hopefully annual event,” Wright said.

Admission is free, and sampling tickets will be available for purchase on site. See the event page on Facebook.
