Suomenlinnan Hoppe IPA

India Pale Ale as a beer style has a long history. In 1700’s, beer was one of the products shipped to India to be enjoyed by Englishmen residing overseas. The beers needed to be strongly hopped with British bitter hop varieties to better sustain the long journey by ship. A typical feat of IPA:s, their higher ABV also encourages preservation of the beer – and sometimes even the beer got fully fermented during the journey!
