SheppyBrew's TommyHawk APA is actually technically an IPA, but I think it might be my only one. And, of course, its name still has "APA" in it as a tribute of where it came from.
I've brewed Black IPA's and West-Coast Reds, but those don't really count.
I think it is about time that I actually design and brew an IPA.
I've decided to call it "Near-Sighted Swine IPA" in honor of Russian River's Blind Pig IPA. It isn't a clone of the beer, just a tribute.
It isn't real high in alcohol or bitterness, but has quite a few late-addition hops and dry hops.
I am planning for this to be the next beer I brew. Stay tuned to read about brew day and how it ends up turning out.
The recipe will be on SheppyBrew.com soon, but here is the first draft:

Pitch at about 60F. Ferment with ice blocks to keep below 65 for 1st few days, then remove and let it rise to room temp as long as it is less than 72. After the fermentation activity slows down (4 or 5 days), dry hop and leave in fermenter two weeks total.
Like last year, I have actually scheduled blog posts to publish throughout the day. Don't judge me. You can see all I have written or will write about #IPADay at: http://blog.ericshepard.com/search/label/%23IPADay
