I've heard several people recently discuss Imperial and Double IPA's as separate beers. Is this true? I always assumed the double (IIPA) meant the first "I" was for Imperial. Is this true? Or are they different styles? If so, what is different?
glad to here those people were wrong. I always knew I was right
... or it means literally double IPA as in (double I)+PA since IIPA has two I's. I like the latter, though many abbreviate double IPA as DIPA, also valid.
I've been told a double IPA is something like 7.5 to 8.5% and an imperial is something like 8.5+. (This is how a local brewery explained their classification to me. I'm sure it's not universal) I never worry too much about it either way, but if it's 10% I know I'll call it an imperial.

In the 10% range a lot of breweries start calling it a "Triple IPA." It's all semantics. What one brewery calls a double, others call an imperial, and some others call a triple.
