You’re right, of course. But given that IPAs are originally from England would you call those IPA style beers?

It’s been AGES since I was last in Cologne, but your post got me to go look in the back of the glass cabinet and I still have four *stangen.* Now I gotta go around to the various beer specialty stores to see if I can find some Kölsch. A personal thanks for stirring up good memories.🍻

Only if the English made it a law like the Germans did. 😉 Like that old saw, “if it didn’t come from the Champagne region of France, it’s just someone’s *sparkling wine.*” (and make no mistake, I’d be right next to you, guzzling it like I’d been through the desert on a horse with no name… 😉)
