Brewing Cheap vs Expensive IPA Recipes with Clawhammer Supply

We brew two IPAs – one with cheap ingredients ($25 for a 3 gallon batch) and a second IPA that costs double the ingredient cost. Other than that the beers have the same ABV and IBU. Was the expensive recipe worth it?

A huge thanks to Kyle and Emmet from Clawhammer Supply for coming down to my place to brew with me.
