Hops and Glory

The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a semi-mythical beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world, through storms and tropical sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with 'IPA' on the label they are, to be frank, a pale imitation of the original.

For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying it is the award-winning Pete Brown, Britain's best beer write. Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he even make it that far, have fallen in the canal just a few miles out of Burton? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the world with 'Barry' the barrel, one question remains: what will the real IPA taste like?

Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, Hops and Glory is both a rollicking, raucous history of the Raj and a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced.

Aloha,

Brad

Beau’s All Natural Brew Tanks on the Move to Ottawa

This week, four brewing vessels from Beau’s first brewhouse, purchased in 2006, will be loaned to Beyond the Pale, to help BTP meet the growing demand for their beer.

Beyond the Pale microbrewery gets big help with expansion from, yes, a competitor

Awesome!

Aloha,

Brad

and they didn't even kick you down any samples?!?!?

faaaack that

We've got a shit load of their beer - generally speaking, we've usually got at least one GLB on tap at work. However, there's a lot of pussies here at work that like light beer and can't drink a few high octane tasty ales at 9am. So we recently changed it up. Pfffft.
