Ales from England provide a glimpse into the joys of traditional pub culture
From brewery to pub, the real ale experience demands time, effort and knowledge. Owing to its delicate nature, it doesn't travel well, although some importers have inaugurated direct air shipments of real ale from England to selected areas on the eastern seaboard of America. Here in the heartland, we probably won't be seeing any of these in the near future. However, there are more bottle-conditioned ales available to us than ever before, and we're trying to add these to the list as they arrive. Historically, England has not been a style-conscious brewing nation when it comes to cask ale. Pale ale usually is a relative term (not as dark as our other ale), and various designations of "bitter" have more to do with alcohol content than with hops. Export bottled brands offer more specific terminology, but not Germanic brewing precision. In spite of the obstacles and linguistic barriers, it's possible to offer a pleasing hint or three of the English brewing heritage. Selected web resources: Beer
