Brewer’s Blurb:
Those long 19th century trips from the British Isles to the East Indies were a tough old journey for the barrels of beer that were sent to quench the thirst of the troops. Smart thinking resulted in loading the brews with hops to act as a natural preservative… and the India Pale Ale (IPA) was born! We loaded our galleon with a boat load of malt and hops, to bring you a strong IPA with caramel malt flavours and a citrus hop profile.
Michael’s Notes:
I had the Pontoon in a Monsoon at a restaurant called Monsoon Poon, how clever is that?
