Nice musings - very poetic.
Imported beers can really be hit or miss for me. I always worry about the extra preservatives they use to keep them fresh during transport. I'm in Canada though so the journey is a long one to get to me from pretty much anywhere. In Europe I don't think the lat there would be that same issue. The drive is probably shorter than beers coming from some places in my own province 😂
That beer sounded good. Sounds refreshing. Cheers 🍻
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.
