real ale certification

Real ale certification is a mark of quality for traditional British beers that are brewed using specific methods. It means the beer undergoes secondary fermentation in the cask, allowing it to develop natural carbonation and flavor. Certified real ales are typically unfiltered and unpasteurized, retaining their authentic taste. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) creates the certification to promote and support traditional brewing practices, ensuring that drinkers can choose beers crafted with care and integrity. Look for the logo on cask beers in pubs to identify real ales that meet these standards.
