English Beer

English beer has a long history and traditions that are distinct from most other beer brewing countries. Beer was the first alcoholic drink to be produced in England, and has been brewed continuously since prehistoric times. England is known for its top fermented cask beer (also called real ale) which finishes maturing in the cellar of the pub rather than at the brewery and is served with only natural carbonation.

English beer styles include bitter, mild, brown ale and old ale. Stout and Porter was also originally brewed in London.

We've seen a lot of changes to the beer scene of England in the past nearly 40 years with the growth of beer consumerism; expansion of microbreweries and increased interest in bottle conditioned beers and home produced American-esque styles of beers.
