Oh thanks my friend! For sure, I worry about the same thing. Funny enough, the problem of preservation was the reason for the IPA beers! Inda Pale Ale, extra hops for the extra long travels! If I have the history correct now.

I have heard that also so I believe that you are correct. Hops are natural preservatives and they used them to preserve beers during on the long ship journey from Britain to India along of the India trading route.

Okay, so I was not mistaken, thanks for backing it up! Incredible how things back then led to for example the modern IPA! I love to read about these stories especially if I have a nice cold beer with me. Keep well, and happy drinking!

Thanks. You as well.
