Kingdom IPA

Posted on by

This brew was inspired by a competition to promote a modern British IPA.  @MeantimeBrewing, @BeerChannel and @TheMaltMiller  all collaborated to invite home-brewers to produce their version of a modern British IPA. https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/meantime-x-cbc-modern-british-ipa-competition/

This competition coincided with the harvest of my own hops here in sunny Fife, Scotland. I also realised that the malt I use is  grown locally by Crafty Maltsters.  So why not I thought, enter this competition with a brew using malt and hops grown here in the Kingdom of Fife.

It was a good year for hops this year. I think the warm summer helped produce larger hops with increased bitterness. These hops though are nothing like commercial varieties.
