Funston, where do you live? I (homebrewer for 30+ yrs) agree w/you. I live in CA, & know that Orange Co was late on the scene for homebrewing – also, I doubt that anyone over 40 had a hand in that infographic. LOL for both of us.
In 1903, E.B. Collier, a long time brewer in London, England, wrote an article on how to brew pale ale for export (IPA by another name).

There must have been a reason, perhaps to precipitate certain unwanted deposits?
