The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a semi-mythical beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world, through storms & tropical sunshine, & arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with `IPA` on the label they are, to be frank, a pale imitation of the original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal & tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; & the man carrying it is the award-winning Pete Brown, Britain`s best beer write. Brazilian pirates & Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he even make it that far, have fallen in the canal just a few miles out of Burton? & if Pete does make it to the other side of the world with ` Barry` the barrel, one question remains: what will the real IPA taste like? Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, ” Hops & Glory” is both a rollicking, raucous history of the Raj & a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
