Pale Ale (English for pale ale beer ) is a type of beer made from relatively light malt . She belongs to the Ales family from England . Pale ales are brewed in different beer styles , such as the variant of the slightly stronger India Pale Ale IPA. The concept goes back to the early 18th century, when the light character was achieved by drying the malt with coke . At the beginning of the 19th century, pale ale was well established in England.

Manufacturing

Pale ales are made from light malt. The wort obtained is top- fermented at warm temperatures between 15 and 20 ° C (in exceptional cases up to 35 ° C) . The term has been used since around 1703 for beers whose malt is roasted over a coke fire instead of a wood fire, resulting in a lighter color. They are not only brewed with barley malt, but also occasionally with rye, wheat and other types of malt. There are also variants with polenta and other preprocessed products.

distribution

The country of origin of the pale ales is Great Britain ; With the British colonial expansion, pale ale also spread to become a global beer variety .

In addition to the typical British style pale ales , there has also been a special American pale ale since the US craft beer movement emerged , which differs in particular through its more intensive hopping .

As a result of the intensive trade and cultural exchange across the English Channel, the Bière de garde have developed into independent types of beer in Belgium ( Belgian style pale ales , which differ in their special yeasts) and in northern France .
