C'est vrai que la légende est bien utile pour vanter un produit, mais il y a une part de vrai tout de même.
S'il n'y a pas eu intention de créer une bière supportant le voyage, cette recette était naturellement plus apte à voyager, même si elle n'était pas la seule.

Early IPA, such as Burton brewers' and Hodgson's, was only slightly higher in alcohol than most beer brewed in his day and would not have been considered a strong ale; however, a greater proportion of the wort was well-fermented, leaving behind few residual sugars, and the beer was strongly hopped.[16] The common story that early IPAs were much stronger than other beers of the time, however, is a myth.[17]While IPAs were formulated to survive long voyages by sea better than other styles of the time, porter was also shipped to India and California successfully.[18] It is clear that by the 1860s, India pale ales were widely brewed in England, and that they were much more attenuated and highly hopped than porters and many other ales.[19]
