Ales

British brewers alone produce over 2,000 real ales and numerous keg beers and lagers. The ale family includes stouts, milds, bitters, old ales and barley wines. Ales are fermented at a warmer temperature, it is a shorter more vigorous fermentation, and the yeast forms a thick head at the top of the fermenting vessel. It is what happens after fermentation which decides whether an ale is traditional real ale or not. The flavour of the beer depends on many things; the types of malt and hops used, the use of other ingredients, and the yeast variety used is also crucial, as each variety leaves its own distinctive influence on the beer.
