IPA’s origins date back to the 1700s when England exported ales to British troops stationed in India. The ale was basically an English Pale Ale that had been altered to survive the voyage. The original English IPAs were heavily malted, had a higher ABV than a Pale Ale, and were generously hopped. The hops were known to have natural preservative qualities to help the beer last the long journey to the troops.
From the Brewer – “Introduced in 2005 under our Brewmaster Series label, Long Trail IPA has endured the test of time just like the first IPAs survived the long voyage from England to India.
Our take on the traditional English IPA— We’ve combined the style that endured the voyage to India with the hops that started the American craft beer revolution. This unfiltered offering is fit for any journey, land or sea.”
The additional hops complement spicy and full flavored dishes.
