Summary

IPA Evolution explores the captivating journey of India Pale Ale, from its 18th-century origins as a beer brewed for British expatriates in India to its modern-day dominance in the craft beer scene. This book delves into the historical context, brewing science, and cultural shifts that transformed IPA into the hop-forward style we know today. It reveals how the rise of American craft beer, coupled with innovative brewing techniques and hop varieties, led to the reinvention of IPA, particularly the West Coast IPA. The book charts IPA's evolution, beginning with its contested origins and subsequent decline in popularity during the 20th century due to the rise of lagers. It then focuses on the American craft beer revolution and the brewers who rediscovered and reimagined IPA, highlighting the influence of consumer demand. Examining historical beer recipes and brewing logs, the book analyzes the proliferation of IPA sub-styles, such as Double IPAs and New England IPAs, and the global spread of IPA culture. It offers a comprehensive look at how brewing innovation and market forces have shaped this iconic beer style.
