Earthen Ales’ A2 IPA

Bottoms Up
By Craig Manning | July 22, 2023

One of the best parts of following the evolution of local breweries is seeing which beer becomes the “signature” for each spot. At Silver Spruce in Traverse City, it’s the German Pilsner. At Right Brain Brewery, it’s the CEO Stout. And at Earthen Ales, it’s the A2 IPA. We can’t say we’re surprised that the A2 has ended up being the biggest player in Earthen’s eclectic beer lineup. This American-style IPA delivers a nice, hoppy punch with a flavorful hint of citrus fruit. It’s the perfect summer beer, and its growing status as Earthen Ales’ most beloved beverage means it’s increasingly easy to find. From the shelves of Oryana to the bar at Turtle Creek Stadium, A2 is finding its way to more and more spots, and we couldn’t be happier about it. But, of course, the best place to drink is in Earthen Ales’ taproom at 1371 Gray Dr #200 in Traverse City. earthenales.com, (231) 252-4270
