	Encyclopedia: Real ale
		Often known as "cask conditioned" beer; the fundamental distinction between real and other ales is that the yeast is still present and living in the container from which the beer is served, although it will have settled to the bottom and is usually not poured into the glass.
		Ales are brewed with top-fermenting yeasts at temperatures from 15 to 25 Â°C (59 to 77 Â°F).
		Darker ales such as porters and stouts were the mainstays of the brewing industry in the 1700s, until the advent of pale ales, which supplanted dark beers in public favor.

	Getting to Know Britain's Real Ale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Real Ale is ale made in the traditional British fashion: the process of fermentation--converting sugar and yeast to carbon dioxide and alcohol--continues inside a secondary container.
		For ale served on draft, that container is a cask, often a pot-bellied wooden vessel called a firkin--which explains why you see that word in more and more pubs' names.
		While Real Ale is good news for the drinker, it can be bad for the brewer's bottom line, largely because it stays fresh for only a few days.

		Unlike the original India pale ales, which, brewed from pale malt and around 10 percent sugar, were genuinely pale, the bitters had a copper or amber color from the use of crystal malt.
