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.

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.

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.

There were many small breweries in London in the latter half of the 19th century and a lot of these brewed ipa for the local market. My dad drank Ida's from the 1940s as a caske ale but then in the 60's proper ale almost died out with the introduction of fizzy keg beers and freezing lagers. You can buy ipa style beers in the supermarket up to 8.5 abv but with the introduction of taxing beer according to its strength its hard to find a pub selling anything over 5% and mostly lower than 4.5 so the breweries may call them an ipa but they are neither strong enough or served from a cask to be classed as an ale
