IPA is India Pale Ale, a traditionally hoppy beer with a high alcohol content, originally brewed to withstand the two-month sea voyage to British troops serving in India.

The Imperial version produced by brewmaster Gary Lohin is also known as a double IPA with an alcohol content usually above 8.0 per cent. Lohin's brew comes in at 8.5 per cent.

"All the ingredients are essentially doubled," Lohin said in an interview. "All the flavours are just more intense."

Central City, located across from the Central City SkyTrain station, was also runner-up in the best local brewpub category.
