In this episode of Intoxicating History, we take you on a spirited journey through the wild world of British beer. Henry Jeffreys and Tom Parker Bowles, recount how a bold 1718 letter—declaring war with Spain over a bloated drinks bill—set the stage for the fascinating tale of IPA. Together, we explore the rise, fall, and revival of Allsopp’s legendary brew. We share how Burton’s mineral-rich water rescued pale ale from spoiling on long voyages, the fierce rivalry with Bass (complete with scurrilous adverts and alleged poisonings), and even how a 1934 family ledger became the Holy Grail for resurrecting a business. This episode celebrates brewing ingenuity, from Arctic Ale and the search for the Northwest Passage, to the Russian court and the magic of fresh cask ale. Join us for an intoxicating blend of history, heritage, and hops.
