Types of Ale, Bitter, Lager, Malt Liquor, Mild, Pale Ale, Porter and Stout

The noble art of Beer making, spans the world and history. The skill of the Brewmaster was respected and enjoyed the world over. The Egyptians manufactured Alcoholic Liquor from grain over 5000 years ago. When the Romans invaded, Britons in the South of England made Ale from Barley and Wheat, while Wales made a lighter dark brew (Mild) and the Irish made a rich dark brew (Porter & Stout).

British Beer as many descriptions and is brewed using bottom yeast that, at the end of the fermentation process rises to the top of the fermenting vessel.

Some types of ale:
Light Ale, this can be a deceiving term because light refers to the Alcohol content and not the colour an example of this is the dark golden coloured ‘Courage Light Ale’ and the dark coloured Manns Brown are both Light Ale.

Mild, a dark, light to medium strength beer, rarely found in Public Houses.

Pale Ale & India Pale Ale are medium strength beers. Where the Pale reflects their colour, India Pale Ale and Export Bitter Ale were brewed stronger for transporting to British forces overseas.

Stout, these heavy dark beers have four types London Stout, Irish Stout, Russian Stout, and Oatmeal Stout. Due to the belief that dark beer had a feeding value they were also nicknamed milk stout.

Porter is a lighter form of dark beer the Irish equivalent of mild.

Lager is brewed, using top yeast, and at the end of the fermentation process, that sinks to the bottom of the fermenting vessel.

There are no shortage of makes and types of ale, and no doubt many people know someone who brews ale themselves, have a taste.
