One fatal flaw in this video: they added more hops because the flavor of hops diminished very rapidly, not to preserve the beer. More sugar was added the achieve a higher alcohol content to avoid spoilage. A common misconception about IPAs. More hops ≠ higher alcohol. Higher Sugar = higher alcohol.

I would like to rebuttal with one nuance, since your doing research, that is, that hops indeed do preserve the beer to a certain extent as they were very prone to bacterial infections on ship, but I wanted to point out that the video didn’t mention the equally important reason for adding the extra hops, so it still retained some of the hoppy flavor by the time it arrived

@AsserKortteenniemi

Not sure if they would add sugar as it is, I personally would just use more malts for the same volume of beer to gain the higher alcohol content. But then, it could be that you just oversimplified your statement and meant just what I said.

I like IPAs but didn’t know what it stood for. I thought the India pale ales at the store were something different. Anyways, this Guavaland Imperial (8%) Sour Double IPA from Mighty Squirrel Brewing in Waltham MA is very good. Good mix of my favorites, sours and IPAs.

Fascinating stuff. I always thought the India story was how it all happened. Great video.

You set out to debunk the story but then confirmed it. Your own video says that IPAs were in fact developed originally to last the voyage to India before eventually taking off in the British domestic market.

Favourite IPA is Kaleidoscope by Wiper and True

It's worth noting that IPA was made stronger but when it arrived in India was meant to be watered down but the message did not get through and so people drank it neat. It was made Pale as to suit the climate. India Pale Ale became popular again after the US market made it popular again and was copied by the UK Brewers.

They were not shipped as far and did not spend as much time passing through Tropical areas.

They only received that little in India because there were only so many British people there. But I think it gained popularity because of the India story.

I'll have to check out that book, I agree, clean stories are hard to come by. But Bow Brewery always seems to come up.

So the truth comes out

If we had to brew with the hops from the time IPA vent to India we wouldn't like it at all. It's because of the new hops it's back. I don't like and I don't drink IPAs. But read what hops they use. It isn't the old hops they use. Only sometimes but then they don't use that hops only.

Ipa get you wasted on like 5 beers

One of the best things I ever did was letting the bartender pick my beer for me they would ask me what I want and I would say if you were getting a beer give me that if I never would have done that I never would have tried an IPA in my life I would have stuck with Coors and iron City and Bud.... IPA is just keep getting crazier I am trying a brut IPA and it's hard to describe what it does in your mouth 😂😂😂🤠 but seriously it doesn't have the mouth feel of a normal IPA or anything else it's almost like you're drinking foam all the time but you're not...

Sorry dude, but your account isn't 100% true. The original beer that was sent to India was called "keeping ale" and it tasted great when it arrived in India. Porter also survived the journey to India and didn't spoil either. I've outlined the history of IPA in the video below: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3yIrpSze7PThLg.html

I go out of my way to try new kinds of alcohol, which mimics my adventurous foodie habits. That said, you're all crazy. Bitter is not a good flavor. It never has, and it never should be in the future. You can say I have a unrefined pallet, but I'll fight you over that statement. IPA is just another failed dead end that is likened to modern art apprecianados. It sucks, but you're more cultured if you like it.
