The distinctive Cascade character was underlined with an understated malt flavor, and Liberty Ale would unexpectedly become a template for the first modern IPA. Anchor’s iconoclastic owner, Fritz Maytag, paired a pungent new hop Cascade with dry-hopping techniques he adapted from those learned during a research trip to England. They had introduced Anchor Porter in 1973 and wanted to follow that beer up with an American take on a British pale ale to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Paul Revere’s Ride. In 1975, California’s Anchor Brewing was struggling against the tide of American light lager and determined to keep their novel brewing techniques and unique ales flowing. “Pale ale as prepared for the Indian market” eventually began to appear on tap lists across England, and around 1830 the clunky name was shortened to “East India Pale Ale.” By the 1760s, brewers were being advised that it was “absolutely necessary” to add extra hops to beer if it was being sent to warmer climates like India. After much experimentation, it was discovered that the bitter cones not only add aroma and flavor to a beer they also have preservative qualities. The solution to this vexing issue was eventually found in one of beer’s main ingredients: hops. By the time most beer finally reached its destination, it had become flat and sour. Constant temperature changes and rocky seas did nothing to help the situation. But trips by ship to India usually lasted around six months - a very long time for unpasteurized beer to sit, unrefrigerated. Around the same time, the British Empire began establishing itself in India, and when the East India Company began heavy trading, it wasn’t long before there was a great demand for beer among Englishmen living abroad. Its predecessor, a lightly-hopped style known as pale ale, was one of the most popular styles in Britain in the early 1700s. IPA is a beer of English - not Indian - origin. Brewing lore traces the history of this beer back to British colonial days. Tournament of Washington IPAs: Round One April 13: Consider the IPA, or India Pale Ale.
