Pity it's Real Ales and not beer that's actually drinkable!gman wrote:Hi,

Just over a week to go, the beers have been finalised and the tasting notes are on the website.

DickyP, come down and try some, you might be surprised. As far as I understand the term real ale, it just refers to the traditional brewing process which creates a natural live product which needs to be looked after and has a shelf life. It doesn't define the flavour of the beer. The shortened fermentation of non real ale and addition of gas is for the benefit of the brewer - keeps production cost down, increases shelf life while trying to replicate the process of real brewing. I believe it was started during the war but I'm no expert, just a fan.
There are such a variety of ales I'm sure you would find something to enjoy and you will be helping to support local businesses keeping a traditional British skill alive.
