>These terms long ago became generalized

GI describes what words are protected as a region/ location description vs what words are generalized/ part of the dictionary

it is a style of something yes, but a style thats linked to a town/ region/ county, that the product has always been created in

IPAs are deffo not a location specific decription, since it's a style or make of beer with no location. the indian part in IPA was the destination of the beer. It could be created anywhere



IPAs were made in Britain.
