Description:
India Pale Ale is a beer style that’s increasingly popular with both craft brewers and beer geeks throughout the United States. By now, you might even say it’s mainstream in microbrew circles.
The style was originally developed for the long journey from Great Britain to their troops in India.
Because beer spoils easily without refrigeration, brewers had no choice but to load up on hops, a natural preservative. To balance that move, they added more malt, which upped the alcohol, the other natural preservative.
You get to enjoy it because we like to brew a big, bold beer. Lucky you.
