The Time Is Now - reinventing the English IPA (a documentary)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

No one drinks English IPA.
In our third feature-length documentary we team up with Meantime Brewing Company to brew a Modern British IPA - one that gets people excited about British hops again against the backdrop of a declining industry; one that reminds British people of their great but complicated past; and one that offers a vision of where IPA - and indeed British brewing - should be headed. To do that, we head on an epic road trip to discover the true notion of what English IPA should be.

At each section I was like "ah this is where in ends and I'm gunna have to wait till next week" and it didn't. This was genuine quality content, something far and few between on youtube.

    Hi guys, I’m an ex Brewer from 30 years ago. I will try are in five months and plan to start my own microbrewery 30 years ago. It wasn’t any fancy boiling equipment and I used to do all my mash in a Burco boiler and a plastic bucket, so I’ve been doing some research on what beer to make and this video has just hit it right on the head. Thank you so much guys for giving me a great idea. I look forward to sharing my trials and tribulations with you in the near future.

    Fantastic video. Great to promote new British hops and malts. But let's not call older English hops dull, or consign them to history. We don't call German noble hops dull and Germans are proud of them and they are used in vast quantities. I'd love to see examples of English IPA with Goldings etc on the pumps cos it's an amazing style.

    Great documentary ! really motivated me to try some modern british hops. Bit weird to talk about "potilitics" of the 19s century (india colonisation) but no mention of how Brexit has impacted british hops farming. I know that here in france, a lot of brewers stoped using british hops because because of brexit, buying british hops has been more difficult and/or more expensive.
