What is Ale beer and how does it actually differ from a lager?
If you've ever wondered what is ale beer, it all comes down to the yeast and the brewing temperature. Unlike lagers, which are fermented cold and slow, an ale beer is brewed at warmer temperatures using "top-fermenting" yeast. This faster process unlocks a massive spectrum of robust, complex flavours, ranging from fruity and floral notes to deep, roasted caramel tones. Basically, if you are looking for a brew with plenty of character, character-filled ales are your go-to.
