Meantime would be a good example of a traditional English-IPA, with a stronger malt backbone, higher ABV and English hops. Same goes for the Wells and Dark Star mentioned, respectively. Brewdog Hardcore is a good example of American-style IPA coming out of the UK. - Pine and wood hops hardly define East Coast IPAs. Cascade give pine and Willamette have wood; both of these are signature Pacific NW hops. Rather, it's usually a bigger malt profile that seperates East Coast from West. DFH 90 Minute is a perfect example. - Don't even know where to start with the many mistakes in the history. Google "IPA myths" or read this: http://zythophile.wordpress.com/false-ale-quotes/myth-4-george-hodgson-invented-ipa-to-survive-the-long-trip-to-india/ Mr Steve is usually good reading; don't know what went wrong here...

Both brewed in the original IPA location of Burton On Trent. Worthington’s White Shield and Marston’s IPA over Green King anyday. Both brewed in the original IPA location of Burton On Trent.
