There are a vast number of different beers with a uk pubs whole range of tastes and strengths.  British brewers alone produce over 2000 real ales and numerous other beers and lagers.  Brewing has uk pubs been traced back as far as 5000 BC in the Middle East yet brewing is a complex process requiring skill and care.  If you crush grapes then uk pubswine ferments from it, the juice of apples will turn naturally to cider, but to make beer from barley requires many steps. All beer is brewed from malted barley, uk pubs hops, yeast and water though other ingredients can be used.  Yeast ferments the sugars in the malt to produce alcohol.  Hops provide uk pubs bitter flavour and aroma.  The flavour of the beer depends on many things, the types of malt and hops used, the use of other ingredients and, uk pubs crucially, the type of yeast used.  Each variety leaves its own distinctive influence on the beer.  The beers served in our pubs fall into two distinct uk pubs categories because they are produced in two different ways.  These are Lager and Real Ale.

In the pub cellar, cask beer has to be nurtured to maturity and condition.  Each uk pubs cask has two holes, in one of which the tap is inserted and the other allows any extra gasses produced by secondary fermentation to be uk pubs released.  However, cellar staff must ensure that sufficient condition is maintained so that the beer is not served flat.  Condition is maintained by uk pubs using wooden pegs called spiles in the second hole to control the level of carbon dioxide in the beer.  As real Ale is a living product it needs care uk pubsand once the cask is opened it has a limited shelf life.  It has to be consumed within a few days otherwise it will become flat, cardboard and uk pubs vinegar flavours will develop as the beer reacts with oxygen in the air.  It is best served at cellar temperature, which is around 12-13 C, although uk pubs some stronger ales can benefit from being served a little warmer.
