Real ale is a natural product brewed using traditional ingredients (barley, yeast,hops and water)

It is left to mature in the cask or container from which it is served.

This process is 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.
