What is Real Ale?
According to CAMRA, "Real ale is a natural product brewed using traditional ingredients and left to mature in the cask (container) from which it is served in the pub through a process called secondary fermentation. It is this process which makes real ale unique amongst beers and develops the wonderful tastes and aromas which processed beers can never provide."
Real Ale is the term used by CAMRA for traditional cask-conditioned ale. It is ale which is a live product at the point of delivery, i.e. still containing live yeast. This includes both cask- and bottle-conditioned ales. Real ales in British pubs are hand-pumped rather than pressurised which would stop the on-going maturation.
