Beer & Ale styles »
There many different styles of real ale, varying from malty, lightly-hopped milds to dark and bitter stouts and porters. With over 500 brewers producing around 2,500 ales, it can truly be said that British real ale is an incredibly diverse product.
How is beer made? »
Brewing starts with barley. The starches in barley cannot be fermented, so they must be converted into a fermentable form, by malting.
