I Am The Walrus

IPA 2“Not really from India and not really a pale Ale…”

IPA 5

So, it seems the penguins and the polar bears have been getting a bit tired of each other’s company and the Master Brewmasters at Duvel Moortgat decided to liven things up a bit by making a trio out of the extra ordinary Vedetts and introduced the IPA!

And the Walrusdelivers, and then some! Refreshing. Lively. Thirst-quenching. The perfect extra ordinary beer to start practising for what is hinting to be an extra ordinary summer on the way.vedett ipa

Vedett Extra Ordinary IPA is made from a variety of hops that are specifically selected to be completely complementary towards one another.  They harmonise impeccably with notes of fruit, citrus and fresh green florals.

Vedett IPA 1And, as a matter of curiosity – why “Indian”? We have the colonial Brits to thank for the name.  Dating back to the 17th century, they discovered that adding hops to their beloved beers preserved them beautifully for those long, seafaring journeys to faraway colonies … like India!  Whats more – the addition of the hops also added an extra touch of bitterness to add to the refreshment.

Nothing left to do, now, but pour and enjoy!
