Real Ale/Craft Beer Appreciation Group
What is the difference betwwen Real Ale and Craft Beers?
It differs from Real Ale as there are fewer restrictions when it comes to brewing, allowing for a far greater amount of experimentation and innovation in terms of styles and flavours. Craft Beer emphasises creativity and unique tastes over how much yeast lies in the bottom of the bottle or cask.
There are many real ale bars and a few craft breweries local to us and we need to check them all out whilst, comparing the ranges of beers.
