IPA beer - worth knowing about craft beer

Craft beers are becoming increasingly popular and more often share the space on the drinks shelf with classic beer.

• In the 19th century, the IPA (short for India Pale Ale) was brewed in England and Scotland. This type of beer has a higher alcohol and hop content than ordinary beers.
• According to some historical sources, the beer was brewed specifically for the Indian crown colonies.
• So that the beer does not spoil on the long boat trip, the brewers brewed it almost twice as much and added an extra portion of hops, as hops have an antibacterial and preservative effect.
• Nowadays, beer is characterized by its relatively high alcohol content of up to 9 percent. The strong emphasis on hops and top fermentation creates a very powerful and intense taste.
• Also characteristic are the strongly perceptible fruity notes, such as citrus, passion fruit, papaya or honey.
