Hey everyone! Thanks SO MUCH for all the kinds words about our third documentary! It's been a wonderful, wild ride to see the response. So we have finally finished finessing the homebrew recipe for NOW IPA! Check it our here: community.grainfather.com/recipes/886090
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
Thanks so much James - it's been a wild ride! And the taproom should still have it on keg. I think the Glad got through all theirs but I'll find out where else it's on tap.
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.
@@TheCraftBeerChannel Great documentry, English hops tend to be seen as boring which is true to a certain extent. They are however reliable and go well with with more malt focused beer.
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
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..
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.
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!
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
Incredible job guys! I am going to make this for our next homebrewers meet here in South Africa. Going to use Jester and Ernest with Lallemand's London and hoping our LHBS still has Chevalier. Cheers 🍻
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!
I remember watching you guys a while ago now you come so far. Definitely could imagine a professional tv series on a major network with the quality you produce
Thanks so much! We have had many conversations with TV networks and production companies but nothing yet. Maybe one day, but we're very happy making our own stuff here!
Well done guys! Can tell you how exciting it is to see people championing local British ingredients and hops, love the thought of this being more sustainable for the planet and that it will help to sustain our brewing infrastructure and heritage. 👍 Plus it looks like a lovely pint!
Brewing in the Caribbean here, been using Godiva in my Hibiscus Saison and together with Nelson Sauvin in my Blonde for some really nice grape & berry flavors. I added Jester & Harlequin to my last order. These new British hops are showing tons of promise!
Brilliant film lads! I'm looking forward to trying your beer and I really hope this sparks a resurgence in British IPAs made with British malts and hops! Cheers🍻
I was not expecting to watch this the whole way through, and indeed most of the time I use UA-cam as an opportunity to have a short break for fifteen minutes or so. But I was hooked on this guys. Well done. Your pride and passion came together to make something special (in the video, and I'm sure in the beer too. If I can import some to Australia let me know!). Thank you.
Another excellent production! I love that you guys continue to champion big, audacious causes. It would be easy to say, ‘nah, too hard, no one cares, let’s focus on the next sexy beer trend.’
Well done Lads this is quite a long video and I intended to watch it over a couple of sessions but... it was so good I watched it all at once! Watching the research into the malt, hops, yeast and water makes me think of just how much beer has impacted history... and let's not forget the 5th and most important ingredient.. people 😁 cheers Fellas another great doco 😎, Mike in NZ
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
Excellent doc guys. Educational, thought provoking, and entertaining. I loved the honest look at the origins of the style - something that all brewers and drinkers of IPA should be aware of. Keep up the great content. I just ordered a six-pack of the beer and can’t wait to try it ❤ 🍺
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.
Thank you for an amazing short film. I'd love to see this land in Australia to try this twist on the modern IPA, though sadly I doubt we will see it. Keep fighting the good fight!
Well done you two. If you decide to share the recipe with us homebrewers I would love to brew this for my homebrew channel some day. That is, if I can get my hands on the correct English ingredients (live on the West Coast of the USA) to pay it proper tribute. Sure hope this is only the beginning and that I get to try a British IPA in a British pub someday. Cheers!
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.
This is such a insprational video! Rediscovering the beauty of IPA's root, and presenting this legacy in a modern way. What a game changing idea! As a Chinese craft beer brewer who deeply love the philosophy of British Beer, this video not only made me gasping for it but also made me willing to try out all those ingredient in our future brew. Which made me sad coz Crisp is temporary stoped importing in China, and there isn't any offical British hop distributers operating in here as well.
Wow. Great doco lads! You have inspired me to cook up my own take on an English IPA! I'm an aussie, so will naturally have to call it Ole' Blighty IPA.
This was fantastic!!!! Wow. It would be interesting to do a deep dive and create a modern take on classic beers of other beer nations with the same approach...
This was awesome and I really respect how you talked about the uncomfortable history. Bringing to light our dark pasts doesn't mean we have to shun the products of them, but acknowledge the history and pay homage to those who suffered for it. Well done lads. Much love from Australia.
Mu heart did a little leap when I saw the title of this video. I am so glad that you lads did this and hope that it will help garner more appreciation for the style and British hops. I can't help feel that you missed out by not getting Ron Pattinson on for some history along with Mr Zythophile.
Great video guys. I am making a traditional IPA next using Chevalier malt and probably East Kent Golding as the complex hops you suggest are hard to come by here in the US, but I may have missed it did you actually Burtonize your water and if so, what profile did you use? Thanks, and cheers
Well done! I would’ve loved to taste it. My last 6 batches of homebrew was only ESB’s and barley wines. I looked and see we have Chevalier available in South Africa. I am going to brew a beer with ts malt. Must just decide how to use it.
Fantastic programme. One question are there no burton based brewery yeasts available. That could be used. The Spanish biochemist gave a map and mentioned London based yeasts. We’re there not similar from burton on Trent. Also if you went some of the older breweries still brewing, I’m thinking Samuel smiths , do they not have older yeast strains.
Simply wow! Fantastic doc lads. I love the theme of saving/preserving British styles as you did with the Keep Cask Alive series. Would love a taste of Now IPA, but I don't think that we'll be getting it in Israel anytime.
As a homebrewer, English IPA is still my favourite ale to brew and enjoy. I mean, it is the original. Before there was "x" API, it was just IPA and it's British...so this is great. Thanks for doing this
I'm sitting here sipping a hazy IPA out of a recycled Bonne Maman jar (not my vessel of choice, don't worry), then I see you twirling hops in a recycled Bonne Maman jar at 57:49. It was definitely a moment.

Thanks so much James - it's been a wild ride! And the taproom should still have it on keg. I think the Glad got through all theirs but I'll find out where else it's on tap.

Great documentary, inspired me to try jester (only one i can get in switzerland) in my next english brew. Really appreciated the Desi part of the doc.
Really great feature. A worthy concept and wonderfully put together. Fancy a beer now...so just bought myself a six pack of these!
Killer idea, refocusing on locality and blending tradition with modernity. Much respect and keep up the great work!

@@oscarosullivan4513 my house Porter is Goldings & Northern Brewer and it's easily my favorite beer I brew
@@luukgx Interesting, I suppose it depends on beer style
I'm fixing to use Godiva in an English IPA, with bittering provided by Fuggle, Nobility and Challenger hops.

That was an awesome documentary, made with such passion for the traditions and history.
Brilliant guys, loved this documentary ❤
You've outdone yourselves again...you're only making it more difficult for the next one
Brilliant film lads! I'm looking forward to trying your beer and I really hope this sparks a resurgence in British IPAs made with British malts and hops! Cheers🍻
Excellent film. Better than professional TV. Look fwd to the next one.
I can't be the only one looking forward to this but thinking 'on a Wednesday?' Followed by a guilty look at the fridge
I managed to resist temptation…barely
Great video, really appreciate the amount of work going into content like this and a very worthy objective to revive the OG IPA!
Guys this is great and was a great afternoon filming !
Bravo Jonny and Brad! And Meantime and... every person involved in the Now! IPA brew. I'll buy a six-pack or two next time I'm in Britain. Can't wait.
Great job lads, really enjoyable and educational watch. Hope meantime hooked you up with decent stash of your brew to enjoy 👍🏻
Fantastic work both of you! Thoroughly enjoyed the film and have ordered some tinnies from Meantime. The channel just keeps on getting better :)

One of those videos that the YT algorithm despises but decent humans (and other of the not-so-decent variety like myself) thoroughly enjoy.
Outstanding work - clearly a labour of love! I hope this starts something positive.

Fantastic programme. One question are there no burton based brewery yeasts available. That could be used. The Spanish biochemist gave a map and mentioned London based yeasts. We’re there not similar from burton on Trent. Also if you went some of the older breweries still brewing, I’m thinking Samuel smiths , do they not have older yeast strains.
Love your feature lengths. Would love to see a history of Bitter. 🍻
