IPA Beer Malt Vinegar from American Vinegar Works is made from a Massachusetts craft IPA, slow-fermented using an early-1800s method and aged in 25-gallon American oak. It carries a richer malt profile than standard malt vinegar and finishes with a light, hop-driven, mouth-watering tang. It is the ultimate pick for fish and chips and a quiet powerhouse in everyday cooking.

Flavor profile
Roasted grain and gentle caramel notes meet clean, bright acidity and a subtle hoppy lift. Fuller and smoother than grocery-store malt vinegar, with a finish that keeps you going back for another bite.
