There is no "regulation" on using "imperial" as a desctiptor. It goes back to the 18th century when beer was brewed in England than shipped to the imperial court of the tsars in Russia. The brewers would double or sometimes triple the hops and malts which would result in the ABV going up to 8-12%.
Also no real difference between and "imperial" IPA and a "double" IPA.

The worst of times..they don't phase me, even if I look and act really crazy.

Aside from "Imperial IPA" does sound much more fancy than "double IPA"

I totally forgot it was Hopslam season until I saw it at the store the other day. That stuff used to be impossible to find but there seems to be plenty out there this year. How was this year's batch?
NA IPA... it actually tastes pretty good. And before anyone makes fun, a buddy of mine has cancer and cannot consume alcohol. He found this brewery doing NA craft beer, which no one is doing and thought he’d give it a try. I was honestly surprised. It’s a little fizzier and not as bitter (which I’m fine with) but otherwise tastes like IPA.

That’s crazy. I’ve never seen a NA IPA...pretty cool. Best wishes for your friend to kick cancer’s ass.

Thanks, he's doing pretty well so far. Great spirit, which I don't care what anyone says, attitude is 90% of overcoming any type of major health issue.
This brewery is currently doing a collab with Sierra Nevada with all proceeds going to CA wildfire relief. They're out of Connecticut and the collab beer (Resilience IPA) can be found at their taproom.

You'll all be hearing about it or able to get their brews soon enough...
Company is Barrier Brewing.
I used to go in their OG brewing spot when two people ran it and usually only 1 was there to sell you a growler, lol. My how they have grown!
