“This bottle may not look like an IPA, but you better believe I filled it with IPA! LET’S PARTY!!!!”
- Martin (Mads Mikkelsen), probably, Another Round
Boozing is rad. While a lot of folks out there like to play it safe with just a nightcap (COUGH*wompwomp*COUGH), there are quite a few Gallantry Men who like to take the life card and max that baby out by crushing insanely popular, fresh, alcohol-heavy IPA (India Pale Ale) beers on the reg. Celebrating #chugseason year-round (yes, this ‘season’ lasts year round) by drinking IPAs (you can learn more about then 10 styles of IPA HERE) is always classic move, regardless of what your IPA of choice’s ABV (the average alcohol by volume for beer is around 4.5%) is. After all, beer literally makes everything better. It’s a well-known scientific fact. So, whether you’re looking to just get your buzz on or literally pass the f out, knowing your IPAs is a pretty clutch Gallantry Man flex.
Let’s high-five for high hops. Let’s pound fists for big sips. Let’s party, talk about some our favorite, most delicious IPAs, and let’s definitely order ANOTHER ROUND!
LET'S SLAM SOME IPA BEERS!
“LAGUNITAS!!!”
LAGUNITAS IPA
The flagship IPA from the classic craft brand that is Lagunitas is the flagship for a reason. With a 6.2% ABV, it’s delicious, well-rounded, and extremely drinkable. With just a touch of Caramel Malt barley, this IPA packs a rich blend of “C” Hops, balanced on a bed of fine English Crystal, Caramel, Pine, and Munich Malts. So whether you’re looking to enjoy your next IPA with food or just drink up, you can’t go wrong with the consistent, reliable Lagunitas IPA.
Do yourself a favor and buy yourself some Lagunitas IPA right HERE.
“This glass of wine is fine, but I really wish I had Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA from New Belgium.”
NEW BELGIUM VOODOO RANGER IMPERIAL IPA
If you’re really looking to get hammered, this IPA, which packs a 9% ABV, is most definitely your best bet. We’re not saying that this is the reason that the hop forward Voodoo Ranger is New Belgium’s top-seller, accounting for 65% of its business, but we also are.
Get your Voodoo on right HERE!
“You know what would make this campfire even cooler? Some Hazy Little Thing IPA from Sierra Nevada.”
SIERRA NEVADA HAZY LITTLE THING
Don’t let the name fool you, because Hazy Little Thing is the biggest thing at Sierra Nevada in the year 2022. With a nice crossover of juicy hops and silky malt, this fruit-forward IPA delivers a modest bitterness with its smooth finish. Its 6.7% ABV isn’t making us mad either, you know what we mean?

“Babe. Relax. I got us some Harpoon IPAs from Harpoon Brewery, too.”
HARPOON IPA FROM HARPOON BREWERY
New England’s Original IPA, which contains a 6% ABV, is not only a regional favorite, it’s a craft beer classic. Though its styled after an English IPA, this sweet nectar is brewed with hops that are all American. Citrusy, crisp, and refreshing with some nice caramel and floral hints, it’s always a good choice.

“Can we get some Surf Wax IPA from Burial Beer Co. or what?”
SURF WAX IPA FROM BURIAL BEER CO.
Burial Beer’s flagship IPA, Surf Wax, has won a boatload of medals for a reason and that reason is its sheer deliciousness. With the perfect balance of hop flavor, tropical fruitiness, and notes of pine here and there, it is just what the doctor ordered for a nice warm, sunny day.
Soak up the sun with some Surf Wax IPA that you can buy right HERE.
“You boys want to get some more IPAs after this or what? Gallantry said we should try some Woods & Waters IPA from Maine Beer Company, too.”
WOODS & WATERS IPA FROM MAINE BEER COMPANY
We’re loving this IPA, first launched in 2016 to commemorate the designation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine's North Woods. Brewed primarily with local malts from Blue Ox Malthouse, its got some killer layered notes of melon, pine, and even pink grapefruit. If you want an old-school, West Coast-style IPA that goes down smooth with an ABV of 6.2%, get yourself some Woods & Waters.
Cheers with some Woods & Waters IPA right HERE.
“I’d rather not even get my drink on at all than to even think about what it would be like to get my drink on without my everyday carry bottle opener attachments and multitools from Gallantry.”
THE FINAL WORD ON IPAS
You honestly can’t go wrong with any of the IPAs we’re recommending. However, you can go wrong if your IPA of choice has a most-definitely-not-chill “brewed on” date (ideally, you want your IPA to be no more than a month old). In essence, fresh beer is a must when it comes to partying the right way, Gallantry Man-style.
Speaking of Gallantry Man-style, let’s into the bottle openers and multitools with bottle opener attachments that you’re going to definitely need and want for your next IPA party…
“It’s wild how literally everyone in the bar wants to be me when they see me whip out my epic Handgrey Bauhaus MO.25 Titanium Bottle Opener from Handgrey.”
THE BAUHAUS MO.25 TITANIUM BOTTLE OPENER FROM HANDGREY
Staatliches Bauhaus was a German art school predicated on the concept that objects should exist solely to serve society, with no distinction between form and function. Handgrey has modeled their Bauhaus collection after this principle, and, unsurprisingly, the results are nothing short of spectacular.
The MO.25 is the smallest M-series bottle opener made by Handgrey, but its minuscule stature does not sacrifice its functionality in any way. If you need a bottle opener that won't crowd your keychain, but one that is still tough enough to get the job done, look no further.
This everyday carry bottle opener is for you.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Miniaturized bottle opener
- TI6A-4V grade 5 squared titanium
- Unobtrusive size without sacrificing functionality
- 1.35" L x 0.41" W x 0.22" D
Available in Stone Tumbled Titanium

“Is that dude seriously opening his IPA without a Handgrey Bauhaus K80 Titanium Carabiner? Definitely not a Gallantry Man, that’s for sure.”
THE BAUHAUS K80 TITANIUM CARABINER FROM HANDGREY
The K line of Handgrey carabiners was conceived with dual functionality in mind. The K80 is dual functionality manifested, as it combines a traditional carabiner and a bottle opener into a fluid, perfectly balanced, minimalist design.
Featuring a strong TI6A-4V squared titanium unibody construction, the K80 has no secondary parts to break or fail on its opening gate. Rather, it relies on a curved built-in spring and the inherent strength of its metal.
SPECIFICATIONS
