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.
@@davidkalamakealoha1257 I worked at a very cool beer bar in Minneapolis. Our manager had very high standards for beer and liked to hold the servers to the same standard of knowledge. We had to take a test based on the cicerone beer server test when we were hired!
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
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.
So glad to live in the PNW. We have such an amazing IPA selection. That’s why I’m here. I love it so much, I want to know everything about it! Great information, thank you!
I'd like to learn more. I've tried dozens of beers in my life. I always go back to Guinness and still try others at the same time . I like Stella Artois alot as well.
My favorite style of Beer for every day drinking, For something special I like IIPA's and Imperial any style but prefer Stout. Sort of knew about the reason for the development of the IPA. I have tried at least 500 different IPA's and over 3000 different Beers, I do Beer reviews on YT. Thanks for the nitty gritty.
I was purchasing a 6pk of Ballast Point IPA at cvs and the cashier says shes never tried IPA before..I gave her my number and went out to a bar, and tried a variety of IPA's. A week later she was nude in my bed. I F***ING LOVE IPA!!!
I am very jealous of you guys in OR! Where I live there is a thriving local art/music culture, of which of course ganja and now IPA's are a part of, but I'm still jealous! 😭 Much love from Fort Worth, TX!
My favorite beer type. Ales and IPAs are my preferred beer type at this point, seemingly. I haven’t tried every type though. The Belgian White Blue Moon was also tasty, after all.
@@BeerByTheNumbers my favorite IPA Beers come from the craft brewrys Moon Under Water and Hoyne brewing here in Vancover Canada both from Victoria Island.
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.
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.
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.
It's got to be Dinosaur World by Modern Times!! Or....the Coconut Pineapple IPA by Belching Beaver ( formerly Great Lei). Just subscribed by the way...cool channel!! Plz check out mine when you have a sec....Cheers! 🍻
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.
Some brewers are making hoppier lagers/pils or even wheat ale. It's obvious people just have different tastes and need to figure out which hops they don't mind in their beer.
Did you consult Mitch Steele's IPA book on this? I've read through a good portion of the book and dang, there really isn't a good clean story of the history of IPA.
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... It tastes great I'd like it but it's just very bizarre on the tongue 🤷♂️
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.
While your beer history is interesting and may be accurate, your geography needs a touch up. The Horn of Africa is the Eastern tip of Somalia not the South African Cape of Good Hope. The legendary ‘Horn’ of ocean voyages is the Southern tip of South America.
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: ua-cam.com/video/eHTL2zKPmTU/v-deo.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.
I agree...I think people act like if you drink IPA's, that means you like "real" beer. It's a trend IMO. If I am not mistaken, the human palate is not really wired to like bitter tastes. I'll take a refreshing low IBU lager or ale any day of my life over IPA's.
Modern IPAs are often over hopped giving that bitter flavour which is an acquired taste. More traditional English IPA is lightly hopped for a milder flavour.
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.
Doing a project on this. Where did you find out about this?

You know things are progressing well when you are being taught your own history. I knew some of that but not a lot of it. Thanks for the lesson.
Things are not progressing, sorry guy. Things are degenerating.
Always took the lore for granted. Great video. I learned something new.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@BeerByTheNumbers Porter and Stout can be drunk in warm climates. West Africa is a major market for stout

Great choice with the tree house. Cheers!
Been drinking for 20 years and IPAs are the end all, be all for me. Love it !
My favourite type of beer. St Austell Proper Job just went down a treat. Gert lush 😋
Man, good thing I had some good IPA's on hand to drink while watching this video. I didn't really know the full history of IPA, so thanks.
Literally drinking an ipa rn

Here in Bend Oregon, IPA is as part of our culture as Subaru cars and dank Ganja. I was born here, and I love IPA beers!

Keeping it close to home for me I gotta go with TopCutter from Bale Breaker Brewing.
Who else is enjoying an IPA at the moment watching this? I'm drinking Elysian Space Dust 👌
That's made by a big corporation. I think Coors.
@@BukitMan I know this is a craft beer channel, but if a beer is of high quality then I see no issue with buying it.
Andrew Enneking Me either. I just want people to be aware of it.
These companies try to disguise their products in with the rest.
im drinking one of my favorite IPA Tranqulity IPA brewed by my local craft brewry in Victoria here in Vancover Canada.
An Inbev, used to be independent. Franciscan Well is another example of a former independent brewery
How did porters and other beers make it to their destinations with no problems?
They were not shipped as far and did not spend as much time passing through Tropical areas.
Thanks Niek! Goed punt!
can i share this video?
Loved it! Congratulations
Thanks so much!
I love Ipas!
Interesting stuff. But thanks to home brewers I think old and forgotten styles are brought to life yet again. Cheers
That's right. Love our the great homebrewing scene. Cheers!
My favorite ipa is my own homebrewed ipa sinful summer, tropical fruity flavor.
Sounds tasty!
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.
Almost to 500 subs. Whoo hooo. Rebel Rouser from Sam Adams is my favorite so far. =)
Getting there! A good choice from Sam Adams. Cheers!
Never actually brewed in the country which name it carries? Absolutelly? If yo say so, I can't argue.
Great video.
Good to IPA history
Video made me crave an IPA!
Drinking some refreshing Swamis IPA. Perks of living in San Diego
Craft beer IPA's are OK I do miss the English real ale draught IPA's.
I like your history vids. Gives me info I can use when talking to my son Logan. hehe
Good one...........CHEERS
Thanks Tim. cheers!
Thamiris for the history, save me
IPA is my favourite kind of beer!!! I'd love to drink one now but my wife is hounding me. 🤨
Don't listen to her, if you realy like that kind of beer, then just drink it, & be happy.
try alcohol free beer
@@vice199 I don't like it.
@@timsummers870 i just drank an Ipa 0.0% alcohol, its got strong taste.
To be honest ipa is one of my least favorite styles
No such thing as a bad IPA. Just some better than others.
IPAs are great and all, but have you ever had a hoppy saison? Because that's what I'm drinking and it's god damn fantastic.
Some brewers are making hoppier lagers/pils or even wheat ale. It's obvious people just have different tastes and need to figure out which hops they don't mind in their beer.
🏴🍻
I like our British IPA's! Better balanced I think
Sierra Nevada started the craze in 1980. not the '90's.
Don't worry, be Hoppy.
👍

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.
Ugh, it's not England. England and Scotland formed the UK in 1707.
And Whales Ireland joined the UK in 1801
"American IPA"
*Laughs in British*
What still confuses me though is why would anybody drink IPAs in the first place.
hops in ipas makes me feel awfull. crazy headaches
Word says they drank all the regular beer before they arrived
No cap
So the truth comes out
I would prefer the British one.
Ipa get you wasted on like 5 beers
