To emphasise the difficulty, nay, impossibility of splitting apart UK Pale Ale and IPA in the 20th century, I thought up a little game. It's called spot the IPA.

The table is of various beer brewed in 1938 and 1939. Some were called as Pale Ale and some were called IPA. Can you tell which is which?

The IBU value is my calculation, based on the recipe. Got gospel, but at least a general indication of the bitterness level.

If you want to take part, just post a comment with your IPA selections.
