i think it had something to do with the east India trading company. but yeah, its odd.
The History of India Pale

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries there was a considerable trade in beer to India. Leaving the India Docks in London, ships would sail around the Cape of Good Hope through the Indian Ocean to Bombay and beyond, a three-to four-month trip. Highly hopped palebeers brewed to withstand the trip became known as “IPA,” India Pale Ale.
Source Interesting. :thumbsup:

my favourite thing about IPAs is that you know they are strong.

good beers. big on calories, but a good style.

I'm just getting reacquainted with the beer market after a 12-15 year lay off and it's interesting to see the changes ...
What happened to the ten - fifteen different choices of Canadian Beer and Ales, O'keefe, Yukon, Labbatts etc.?
What happened to all of the various European, i.e. German, Swiss, Dutch etc. brews? :dunno:

Today I'm seeing 20 - 30 different brands of Belgian Ales each carrying exorbitantly hefty price tags, in fact, the other day, I saw a 10 or 11 oz bottle of Belgian, a single bottle for $7!!!
Also, I'm seeing tons of different and expensive domestic micro brews, each of which of course produce an "India Pale Ale" among other things...

Don't get me wrong, I like the products that come from microbreweries, that is, the ones I'm familiar with that have a track record of making good beer, i.e. Sierra Nevada to name one, but there's too many Mark Zuckerberg type characters behind a lot of these new start up breweries and to me, that's just unpalatable!
With todays craft brew/Belgian brew prices, it's too much of a risk to buy an exorbitantly expensive six pack of something I may not like... I'll just stay with the old reliables. :glugglug:
 

some of you need an education

if you're saying "Bud Light" or "Coors Light", or espousing how great a COLD beer is, you're not drinking for flavor

I'm a coors light kinda person. Everyone I know hates it, but I can down those suckers like no other.

its sad but true. nothing goes down faster than an ice cold coors lite. theyre like water.

ive downed many myself in that fashion in cowboy country.

Ever try Pabst Blue Ribbon? That's pretty close to water, and it goes down easier than a $3-dollar crack whore.

they are missing the whole point of beer. Like going to a NY Deli and ordering a PB&J or visiting Naples and dining at the Olive Garden

no no. there's different reasons for drinking beer. one may be for pure taste, but another strong reason is to get drunk. sometimes, it just doesnt matter how it tastes.
