	The Brew Site: Imperial Beers
		For some background, "Imperial" originally referred to the Russian Imperial Stout style of beer, which is a highly-hopped, high gravity stout with alcohol typically in the range of 8 to 12 percent by volume.
		Then some innovative American brewers took the "Imperial" characteristics and applied them to the India Pale Ale (IPA) style, creating the Imperial IPA (which is a recognized style category by the Beer Judge Certification Program).
		Naturally, the adjective "Imperial" is (rather arbitrarily) now being used to describe a stronger version of a classic style of beer that was not necessarily strong before.
