Weekend
for us means chilled bottles of beer with friends. you drink together with them
and party like there's no tomorrow. Almost all of us had those days when we
just passed out after getting dead drunk and our friends did laugh on us and
played hilarious pranks on us. It is always good to be in such situation
for fun but just be sure it doesn't harm your health. We have discussed about
multiple beer in other blogs we will now discuss about 'Ale Beer'.
Every beer in this world is made up of same basic ingredients and with a
different process. Yeast is majorly required to produce beer, doesn't matter if
the yeast is top-fermenting or bottom-fermenting. If we talk about how ale,
Lager and other beers are different from each other then a very simple answer
to this would be the top-fermenting or bottom-fermenting yeast but fermentation
process itself has a lot of science behind it.

What is ale:
Ale
is not a new category of beers, it is thousands of year old, much older than
lager at-least. Yeast that is used to make ale is known as Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. Ale is made up of malt which is sweet. Hence, bittering
agent (additional flavor) is being added to the ale to balance the
sweetness of the malt and it acts as a preservative. Earlier this agent
was a herb known as gruit which helped to preserve beer. We know that ale is
made using hot fermentation process, hence it is usually fermented at
temperatures between 15 °C to 24 °C. After 24°C yeast starts
producing the required amount of esters, which results in beer with a fruity
compounds. That means it smells like apple grapes and other such fruits. Ale is
to be considered as a strong beer and more robust in taste.

Time for preparation:
Ale
doesn't take much time to be prepared and to be served. Due to warm
fermentation process the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not take much
time to show its quality. It takes less than 7 days. The warm fermentation
process makes ale more tastier and strong.
Serving Ale:
Well,
for most of the guys serving a beer means "tilt your glass you dumb
ass" .Ale has always taken a pretentious way to be served,
Collar of a beer glass full of froth or foam let you feel the beer and the real
taste of beer. Head of beer is a combination of wort protein, yeast and
hop residue.
Take
a Weizen Glasses, pour little beer to the center of the class
directly to get some froth, wait for half of the froth to condense and then
tilt your glass to pour the rest of the beer. Do this if you are a real fan of
beer and want to make your beer look attractive on your table.
Ale
should always be served at a cellar temperature. Cellar temperature is 50-55
degrees Fahrenheit i.e 10-14 degrees Celsius.
Diversification of Ale:
You
don't end up with just Ale thing. There is more to know about Ale and that is
about the varieties of Ale.
- Brown ale
- Burton ale
- Golden ale
- Mild ale
- Pale ale
- Belgian ales
- India Pale Ale
We will take heads up on the detailed information
on these categories of ale in our upcoming blogs.# ale beer
