THOMAS COOPERS BREW A IPA

Introduction Thomas Cooper’s first recorded brew was designated brew “A”. In his brewing log dated 13th May 1862, Brew A contained four bushels of malt and eight pounds of Kent hops in 46 gallons of water, which he made into a Pale Ale and a slightly heavier Ale. Our Thomas Coopers Brew A IPA honours that tradition as an American style IPA made in the spirit of the heavier ale. Expect a full-bodied, deep amber to reddish hue with tropical, citrusy grapefruit characters and toasty amber malt that balance a clean, hop-filled bitter finish. You won’t believe Thomas used to sell it for seven schillings a dozen. Key Features Authentic recipe inspiration: Thomas Coopers Brew A.
