ABOUT THE ORIGINAL STYLE

The IPA or India Pale Ale is a style of brewing typical of the colonial exported English beers. The necessity to preserve the beer into the ships in the long way to India required a higher amount of hop in the recipe. In January 1835 the term “India Pale Ale” was used for the first time on the Liverpool Mercury economic journal, and after that date all the beers exported to India were called IPA. Nowadays we can find the following varieties: APA or American Pale Ale, dry and more hopped, or Imperial Pale or Double, more alcoholic.
