2180 c39361e5-4391-4f97-9997-4a866f2f1625 Hops and Glory Pete Brown calibre (7.18.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2009-06-04T23:00:00+00:00 <div> <p>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.</p> <p>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?</p> <p>Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, <em>Hops and Glory</em> is both a rollicking, raucous history of the Raj and a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced.</p></div> e8912f14-6a25-470d-89a7-a6fea3222b68 hops-and-glory-1 9781531869830 QI9sbhX9jlIC 30808135 eng Food & Drinks Nonfiction beer
