The Time Is Now - reinventing the English IPA (a documentary)

No one drinks English IPA.
In our third feature-length documentary we team up with Meantime Brewing Company to brew a Modern British IPA - one that gets people excited about British hops again against the backdrop of a declining industry; one that reminds British people of their great but complicated past; and one that offers a vision of where IPA - and indeed British brewing - should be headed. To do that, we head on an epic road trip to discover the true notion of what English IPA should be.
Huge thanks to our sponsors, Meantime Brewing Company. Check out their website and shop here: www.meantimebrewing.com/

Hi guys, I’m an ex Brewer from 30 years ago. I will try are in five months and plan to start my own microbrewery 30 years ago. It wasn’t any fancy boiling equipment and I used to do all my mash in a Burco boiler and a plastic bucket, so I’ve been doing some research on what beer to make and this video has just hit it right on the head. Thank you so much guys for giving me a great idea. I look forward to sharing my trials and tribulations with you in the near future.

Fantastic video. Great to promote new British hops and malts. But let's not call older English hops dull, or consign them to history. We don't call German noble hops dull and Germans are proud of them and they are used in vast quantities. I'd love to see examples of English IPA with Goldings etc on the pumps cos it's an amazing style.

I loved that you took the similar format from your cask ale series and put it into one bumper buster mini film. At each section I was like "ah this is where in ends and I'm gunna have to wait till next week" and it didn't. This was genuine quality content, something far and few between on youtube. I will attempt to get my hands on some of those cans! Thank you as always.
