   IPA is, by design, long lived in the barrel. The style was evolved in   
   London to still be drinkable after the barrel had been transported to   
   India in a sailing ship. It has surely changed since then but I don't   
   know how. I enjoy a good IPA but prefer a traditional English Bitter:   
   Hardy's and Fullers both make excellent examples.   
      
   When in Europe, most German beer (both light and dark) is very drinkable   
   and some of the Czech lagers are good (Urquell Pils and Staropramen are   
   the best. Moretti is good in Italy. The Belgians make good stuff too,   
   especially Chimay Bleu. Forget beer drinking in France though, the French   
   can't make anything drinkable that isn't wine.
