I couldn't find that when I looked at the site. There are plenty of other brewers making IPA, one of the best-known being Greene King. I'm not a big fan of IPA, but I do like the Meantime one. Part of their mission is to re-establish some of the historic London brews from days of yore, as well as to experiment with brews from other countries, so a number of things they do are indeed unique, and there may be something about their IPA that is unique (apart from the fact that I like it). Their beer is served in something like half of the Michelin-starred restaurants in Britain, I believe. That gives you some idea of how good it is. There isn't a single Meantime brew that I haven't liked. They have a very clean freshness about them and great flavour, so when you come here I'll be happy to take you to the Old Brewery or to the Union.
