Description
Roger Protz explores the rebirth of India Pale Ale in his latest book. The style's revival began in the early 1990s, driven by passionate brewers who sought to revive flavour in beer after decades of dominance by global giants. Today, IPAs are brewed worldwide, with a renaissance that shows no signs of slowing. The history of IPA is as fascinating as its current popularity. First developed in the late 19th century, the style was initially created for export to India. However, by the end of the century, American and German lagers had supplanted IPAs, and the classic Victorian style was all but forgotten. Protz delves into the brewing methods used during this time, including the traditional recipes employed by craft breweries today. The book features a selection of classic IPAs from the 19th century, including Ballantine's IPA in the US, Worthington's White Shield in England, and McEwans in Scotland. Protz's expertise shines through as he explores the evolution of this popular style, making for an engaging read for beer enthusiasts and anyone interested in the craft brewing revolution.
