What makes real ale different?
Real ale is a type of beer defined by its traditional production. Also known as “cask conditioned” beer; the fundamental distinction between real ale and other offerings is that the yeast is still present in the container from which the beer is served. Because the yeast is still alive, the process of fermentation continues in the cask or bottle on the way to the consumer although it will have settled to the bottom and is not poured into the glass.
