India Pale Ale Beer

India Pale Ale (IPA) is a type of beer that is known for its strong flavors from hops and its typically more pronounced fruity notes compared to other types of beer. The history of IPA dates back to the 18th century when it was originally brewed in England for export to India.

The name “India Pale Ale” originated from its association with the British East India Company (EIC). During that time, beer brewed in Britain would spoil during the long sea journey to India. To overcome this issue, brewers increased the hop content and alcohol strength of the beer, as these acted as natural preservatives. This stronger and hoppier beer became known as India Pale Ale.
