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.

I loved that you took the similar format from your cask ale series and put it into one bumper buster mini film. 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. I will attempt to get my hands on some of those cans! Thank you as always.

The loss of our native hop farming at the rate its happened is absolutely frightening... After watching this I'd like to see a refocusing from our British craft breweries in terms of using native hops to fend off a complete collapse.
Unbelievable you guys basically started as beer lovers with a home brew kit, now knocking out professional TV quality documentaries with major brewers coming to you. Fair play! The other docco about US hop history was so good too. Kudos!!!

I thought it would be like the cask ale documentary, several episodes. So when I saw the show started broadcasting, I thought, this is a Friday night watch.. Great work on the show, and appreciation to all the people behind the beer and farming industry, also service industry.. Inspiring.. Thanks for your efforts on making this film..

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.
Class, English homebrewer here living in Ireland but the talk about the East Kent hops took me back to fishing in the Medway in the hop fields of Yalding Kent. Really enjoyed that great stuff
This is great all around…I particularly enjoyed and appreciate the amount of history woven throughout the film… I hope you get some screenings at film festivals and beer festivals, this film definitely has all it needs to make an impact if enough people see it!
Brilliant doumentry! You can feel the love and pasion behind it and really interesting about the hisrtory behind IPAs...Gutted I can't taste it (live aborad), but got me excited about brewing again ! thanks Lads
Unreal boys. This channel is simply one of the most important things to happen to beer drinking
I just had a case of this delivered. I think it's superb. All the flavours and aromas are there as described and so drinkable! Nice work.

Great to hear! And 100% people are the fifth ingredient - we had such a wonderful time once people were drinking the beer with us!
Great video here. I loved fullers ESB and only heard stories of timothy taylor ipa and how great it is. 5% ipa doesn't work here in the states. I wish it did. But lucky you can make what you want at home. I have used lots of northdown, challenger and target in many styles. Its a great combo, fullers used to use that.
Nice work!
Watching from Kalamazoo Michigan. Really enjoyed this and all your work🍺. Wish I could try this! Sounds lovely!
Absolutely loved the video! You guys keep putting out bangers. I’m an assistant brewer here in Michigan. I can’t wait to give this style a go. You guys gotta come through sometime. They don’t call it the great beer state for no reason. We have a few brewpubs here in Ann Arbor not only keeping cask alive but brewing up traditional British styles. I just brewed a mild using chevallier malt actually. And the brewery down the street’s flagship beer is a English style ipa on cask. Cheers guys! I love the content!

Outstanding work - clearly a labour of love! I hope this starts something positive.

Congrats y'all. This is great :) I love that flavor ideal of fuggle and Golding's terroir crossed with mango/citrus, along with that maris otter base. Absolutely delicious.
Really good stuff. Just made my first brew using chevalier and have been very impressed with the flavour. Now keen to try some of these modern British hop varieties
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.
