AAB 058: IPA Myths and Truths with Pete Brown


Listen Later

The most popular sub-style in beer at the moment, the India pale ale or IPA has had a very storied history, or has it? The most overwrought tale in beer is that the IPA was a new style loaded with hops to survive the long voyage to India and when it got there for all the colonists to drink, it was sparkling and delicious, unlike anything people had ever seen before. But is this merely a tall tale or does it hold some truth?
 

On this episode we talk with beer writer Pete Brown about IPA’s history, its myths and its creation into one of the most told origin stories in beer.
