Sorry about that. You are correct.

Living in Modern times I know that IPAs are not as strong as regular ales that I am accustom to. It would be different however, if you drink a macro-brew. Although I do tend to drink the higher priced micro-brews so whenever I compare my micro-brew brown ale's the IPA, I always get a higher alcohol content. I could just go and buy some malt liquor for cheap if I wanted some 8 or 9% alcohol, but IPA's were meant to be a lighter beer, hence the pale color.

The opinion of Martyn Cornell is not the end all of all. What you posted is an excerpt from the zythophile blog. I am sure his book is a good read, but it is possible that he is wrong. So lets just agree to disagree and end this bar convo.

Ah, but the problem is that Beer Advocate's version of the history of IPA is horse manure, entirtely wrong, with no evidence to back it up at all.

For someone who has a website dedicated to beer, you should know the different(taste) between a pale ale and a amber ale. You guys just lost all credibility,

Next time you guys do another review, why don't you do some research first and save yourself the embarrassment.

I just want to say, I like the review, but your board is wrong. Bud American Ale is not a Pale ale. It's an Amber Ale!

Not being a troll, just trying to let you know.

Excellent Info, so basically IPA as it stands was a fluke. It was not brewed in particular as a style, Hodgson just put more hops in the barrels thinking that he might lose less beer in the shipment and shipped it along with the other brews from the brewery. It just so happened that on the four-month voyage out to India Hodgsons ale underwent the sort of maturity in cask that would have taken two years in a cellar, and arrived in the East in prime condition. So they stuck with it.

Brewers before Hodgson knew how to make strong, highly hopped beers that would keep for an extended period: the anonymous Every Man His Own Brewer of 1768 gives a recipe for two hogsheads of October malt wine made from the first two mashes off 22 bushels of malt, with six and a half pounds of hops per eight bushels of malt to ensure a years keeping.

If a cask of porter could be excellently good after a year at sea, there is no reason to suppose any other sort of similar-strength beer would have to be specially invented to last the four-month journey from Britain to India.
