The word spread of India Pale Ale and people throughout England and the United States were clamoring for this wonderful new beer. Hodgson’s India Ale arrived in Calcutta in fine shape-clear, strong, and bitter, with a big, resinous hop aroma. The hops helped protect the beer from spoilage, as did the increased alcohol content. George Hodgson of London produced a pale ale of greater strength and bitterness than those he sold in London. Attempts to ship beer out of Britain to Calcutta failed. Hot temperatures, poor water and short supplies of basic ingredients made it impossible to brew beer. India, however, presented serious problems for brewers. By the 1790’s the British were established in India and needed beer, which was considered a staple in every household.
