During the time of the British Empire, they used to export their ales to India, by the time the beer arrived in India the beer had spoiled so the breweries decided to experiment with the recipes to fix this, they found adding more hops improved the beers survivability and taste. The breweries called this beer for export to India, Indian Pale Ale or IPA.

Great one man. Keep these types of videos coming! A normal dude trying to interpret all of these different options we have walking into a bar in 2023. I like trying different novelty beers every now and again over a Guinness, which I would usually chose.

Really interesting video mate. I’ve been into craft beer for about 2 years now and honestly there’s so much choice out there. A lot of bad beer but also a lot of fantastic beer and it’s an interesting thing to do to dive into the different styles of ales and lagers. This could be a great series of videos as there’s quite a few companies trying to be that entry-level craft beer company for people. Awesome video though mate, enjoyed this one

I quote from Wikipedia: "Pilsner (also pilsener or simply pils) is a type of pale lager. It takes its name from the Bohemian city of Plzeň (German: Pilsen), where the world's first pale lager (now known as Pilsner Urquell) was produced in 1842 by Pilsner Urquell Brewery." You can still get Pilsner Urquell (it's brewed in the Czech Republic). It's one of my favourite lagers. Although you rarely see it on draught in pubs here in London, it's sold in bottles, in many supermarkets.

Love to see this type of content on the channel, great idea for a video. Love it

Your Mans pretty good about knowing his onions. The difference between pilsner and lager generally is the different malt that’s it’s brewed with. Different IPAS are normally defined by the hops from where they originated. IPA is more bitter ( again influenced by early boil hops ) pales are less bitter. Colour and clarity also define different styles. I love punk always have some in the fridge and I brew my fair share of beer. The black heart is delicious in my humble opinion. Great selection of beers , great vid nice work sláinte cheers 👍🍻

Great content, this is off topic but I was planning a trip to Ireland in January to try some of the different stouts and visit a couple of places like cork etc never did I think I would get Kilkenny or Caffrey’s in Tenerife and Guinness was actually not so bad better than what I’d get back home in Scotland. Would really like to see some content in places like Tenerife for example for the Guinness and maybe different Irish stouts. The Kilkenny and Caffrey’s were really nice.

I find here in London the craft beer is expensive In my local pub about 2 quid more than any other pint Great upload Daragh

Good to see you try out those beers! Am quite into the craft scene but despite that I always find Guinness the best stout out there. Others I've tried are great but Guinness has this unique taste. And you can go in a sesh with em

That bar man is talking shite , punk ipa has not been modified to make it better since 2007 it’s actually been stripped back multiple times to make more more profits .. punk ipa is a shadow of its former self it used to be 6% abv and really cloudy , now it’s crystal clear and tastes like a bad lager in my opinion .. I do quite like lost lager though ..good video though pal 👍

Pilsner is based off a style of beer. Czech style to be very basic about it!

I like the high abv brewdog drinks like mr president or arcade made and when they brew it jackhammer. I also like that brewdog publish all there recipes for homebrewers

Brewdog is the Budweiser of craft beer companies

Brewdog were the number one craft beer about 6-8 years ago... They're by no means the measuring stick anymore as they're a global company who mass produce their products. Kinda expect you to know that as you're a self proclaimed expert. Seriously though, try some beers from Cloud Water, Verdant, Track, Deya, Pollys or Sureshot.

Märzen is German,not Belgium,that guy know nothing about beer like Brewdog

Brewdog is probably the last place on earth I'd try new craft beer. Brewdog actually used to be a fair decent brewery until the "downsizing". The likes of Lough Gill, Blacks of Kinsale, Original 7 & Whitefield are all excellent Irish breweries. I've had beer from about 30 different microbreweries on this Island and found those to be the cream of the crop so far. I get the hipser, pretensous, snobby feel to craft beer. There's always a lad wearing a tweed jacket with a twisty moustache, reading a book he's actually not into, in his early 20s that will look down on you if you order a Heineken. Despite his beer being total shite. Double hopped ,bees arse, pale Indian man ale. Unfortunately, a lot of Craft beer is shite. More so in BrewDog.

Is Lucus Chinese?

Don't think Brewdog can be regarded as craft beer anymore. They're not even in the top 50 "craft" beers in the UK. Very average.

I struggle with Ales, not always because of the taste, people tend to say Guinness fills them up, but for me I can drink Guinness till the cows come home, whereas after 3-4 pints of Ale for me there's no more room at the Inn, suppose it's what you get used to drinking

My small "local" store has two shelves and a large portion of the refrigerated beer dedicated to BD, including the non-alcoholic stuff. There are maybe two other "craft" offerings, which is pitiful BUT the worst thing of all is that they don't stock Guinness!

Brewdog has really gone downhill the past few years. Have tried a few pints of Punk IPA recently and they've all been horrendous. The Lost Lager is ok. Nothing special, but drinkable. Their stout is bang average.

Fn amateur hour

The term craft beer is used to charge high prices for most beers that are not that good. There were some great beers years ago that were lost when the big breweries came to town and also lowered the ABV content on some classic ales.

You lost me at Brewdog being the No.1 Craft Beer brewer, even if it is self proclaimed. Go to a proper craft beer brewer - you might not get as many clicks admittedly, but it’ll show you’re serious about learning about it 👍🏼
