Fortune Teller | Smokehouse Brewing Company
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: 67
Style: Porter - Imperial / Double
Actively Produced
Description: When the Brits were conquering the world in the 17th and 18th centuries, brewers added hops to their pale ales for the journey to British troops in India as a preservative-- India Pale Ale. It turns out, IPA was intended for officers only, thank you. The common man drank porter, because it was cheaper than pale ale. Immensely popular at that time. Breweries shipped two beers to India: India Pale Ale for the officers and India Porter for everyone else.
