No Googling.......

The English Brit soldiers serving in India came up with the brew hoping to bring a home feeling to getting their drink on.

DId not google but heard or read that somewhere, wiLL google now.

The Brewer does not describe it as a IPA. This would be a good example of a very IPAish brew. Dogfish 90 minute IPA.

you're sorta in the arena.................

IPA = India Pale Ale

Ale would go bad when shipped to India from Britain for the troops consumption. British needed to find away to preserve it. Hops are a preservative. They loaded the brew up with hops when shipping to India - hence IPA was invented.

Pale Ale is an IPA. They just left the India off of the label. There are varying degrees of "hoppyness" Doghead is just one of the more bitter of the IPA's with a very large amount of hops..

Sierra Nevada is a milder IPA.
Personally I don't like heavily hopped ales. Too bitter & all you taste are the hops. Sierra & Saranack make the best IPA's from my perspective

Used to do some brewing.

Remember when we were kids and went to the bar.
They always had pretzels on the bar.

Maybe the most unsanitary thing ever - who knows what was on people's hands when they stuck their hands in the bowl.

Don't need to google
IPA's are much hoppier and bitter and carry more of a bite
Pales Ales are almost like an ipa lite
I love them both.
And yes, it goes back to sailors days. I believe the more hops, the longer the beer would last??
My current favorite is Balor IPA made locally right here at Long Ireland in Riverhead NY

Wader-
I REALLY like both Pale Ales you put up
I personally think its a shame that the traditional Pale Ales got lost with all the emphasis on IPA's in the small brewery explosions all over the country
I don't brew but have some friends who home brew and make better beer than some of the small breweries I've been to.

Do you want some?
No thanks.
Ah, you know me.
