The Brewery: Brasserie Martin’s Located in Genval, in South Brussels in Belgium. Founded in 1909 by the Englishman John Martin.
Origin: India Pale Ale was first brewed when the British ships crossed the oceans en route to their faraway colonies. To better preserve the beer during these long voyages, the English brewers added extra hops. The fact that they had a higher alcohol and hop content meant that they kept better during the long journey, and so the IPA was born. British Brewer John Martin honoured this tradition when he landed in Antwerp in 1909 by using the unique dry hopping technique.
Food: It is considered a connaisseurs’ beer and is also used in gastronomy, where it is served by some of the best chefs in Belgium. This beer is great with mussels and poultry.
