The team at Newcastle's Grain Store has pulled in so many IPAs for IPA Day that it would be impossible to try them all in a day. That's why they've instead decided to hold an IPA weekend.
Between August 4 and 7 they'll have an incredible 44 different IPAs rotating through their 21 taps. It will naturally feature a lot of locals but also – in a very rare break from their traditional practice of all Aussie independents, all the time – a sizeable selection of imports.
Have a look at the list then block out your weekend...
