I'm curious, when it comes to the popular craft beer style known as India Pale Ale, or IPA, does it typically contain a significant amount of sugar? I've heard varying opinions on the matter, and I'm wondering if there's a general consensus among brewers and beer enthusiasts. Could you provide some insight into the sugar content of IPAs and perhaps discuss any factors that might influence the amount of sugar present in different brews?

A standard 12-ounce serving of an IPA typically contains less than 1 gram of residual sugar.

This low sugar level is a result of the IPA's brewing process, which utilizes specific hops and yeast strains.

In contrast, non-alcoholic beers contain notably higher levels of sugar.

Due to minimal fermentation, non-alcoholic beers often have a sugar content ranging from 10-15 grams per 12-ounce serving.
