ALES

Ales are the wild children of the beer world, thriving on warmth and chaos with a top-fermenting yeast that loves to party at higher temperatures—think 15°C to 24°C (60°F to 75°F). This is where the magic happens, and these yeasts don’t just ferment; they throw a flavour fiesta, mingling fruity esters and spicy phenols into every sip.

When it comes to flavour, ales don’t hold back. They’re the life and soul, boasting bold, complex profiles that can swing from the zesty zing of a pale ale to the deep, soulful notes of stouts and porters. Each sip tells a story, whether it’s a light, hoppy tale or a dark, malty saga.

Visually, they’re just as diverse—golden sunsets to midnight blacks, often rocking a slightly hazy look because, let’s face it, they’ve got nothing to hide. This unfiltered charisma makes each glass a mystery to explore.

And the feel of them? Ales can dance across your palate with a sparkle of carbonation or glide over with a smooth, full-bodied grace. They’re versatile, expressive, and unapologetically bold—true adventurers in the landscape of beers. So, grab a pint and let’s toast to the audacious spirit of ales!

Ales include: Pale Ale, India Pale Ale (IPA), Porter, Stout, Belgian Ale, Wheat Ale
