British ales

British ales are a traditional style of beer brewed in the United Kingdom, primarily using top-fermenting yeast, which ferments at warmer temperatures. They are characterized by their rich flavors and diverse varieties, including Bitter, Pale Ale, Porter, and Stout. The brewing process often emphasizes malt and hop balance, resulting in a range of tastes from sweet to hoppy and roasted. British ales generally have lower carbonation and are served in cask-conditioned form, enhancing their natural flavors. These beers are enjoyed in pubs and are a significant part of the UK's cultural heritage.
