India Pale, it's a style of ale that became popular with British and Indian troops during the imperial days... It's an ale but it's light and refreshing like lager, yet more flavourful like bitter... I generally like them!

It's more popular in the UK, it was Pretty much all made in the UK and sent over I believe.Originally posted by cigarmo View PostInteresting I didn't see any in India
Like Russian imperial stout, it's not Russian at all... It's English but was made to export to Russia hence got that name.

The troops and staff out in India wanted something safe and refreshing to drink, the brewers added loads of hops as they acted as a preservative for the beer on the long journey over to India.
Burton made great IPA's as the well water was high in the right minerals to give it the distinctive taste and aroma

I have read on more than a few occasions that burton water is considered the best in the world for brewing due to its mineral content.Originally posted by mattyhall22 View PostThe troops and staff out in India wanted something safe and refreshing to drink, the brewers added loads of hops as they acted as a preservative for the beer on the long journey over to India.

It is very high in gypsum, most breweries now "burtonize" their water by adding the minerals to it, the Burton breweries still draw the water up from the old wells. :-)
