Common descriptors are
Capitol City celebrated its 2,000th batch of beer with a party at its downtown DC location on Nov. 9. (More specifically, it was the 2,000th batch from its Shirlington brewpub, which supplies beer to the non-brewing H Street locale.) The special brew, dubbed 2G-IPA, is a pungent imperial India pale ale measuring 7.8 percent alcohol by volume and 91-92 international bitterness units. (IBUs are a measure of alpha acid, the primary bittering agent in hops. Normal IPAs might clock in at 60-70 IBUs.)
