The National IPA Championship is a back!


Join in celebrating March Madness with a single elimination bracket of 64 IPAs from across the nation going "head to head" to see who has biggest cone-jones!

The National IPA Championship (NIPAC) starts with the preliminary round on February 22rd in Syracuse, New York, and continues weekly up until the Final Four on March 21 in New York City.
