India Pale Ale was shipped from England to India for the British troops.  To withstand the journey, IPA needed to be a heavily hopped, malty brew with high levels of alcohol.

Coopers Brewmaster Selection IPA recipe can be easily modified to make an authentic IPA like those produced in the early 1800s.  Beware, as this recipe produces a beer with serious bitterness, sure to please the "Hopheads"!

They're back. We don't know why they disappeared, but they have returned. They must have left when our blog blew up around the beginning of the year. Feel free to comment away. We do, however, reserve the right to edit those comments.

Tell us what you are brewing. Do you have any recipe ideas? If not, that's okay. You can just comment on how your summer is going.

Cheers!!

Today is opening day for the Seattle Mariners, our hometown team. As of today the Mariners are in first place in the American League West division. We'll keep our fingers crossed in hopes that they will still be there in Septemeber. Harold Reynolds, who played with the Mariners from 1982 until 1992, is throwing out the first pitch. Most recently he has been an analyst with ESPN and MLB.com. Today also marks the return of Ken Griffey, Jr. to Seattle. We can now relive the infamous "Refuse to Lose" season of 1995 every day. The image of Junior sliding into home plate in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the decisive Game 5 against the Yankees on an Edgar Martinez double is truly one of the great moments in sports -- at least local Seattle sports.
