it to the US, but have never seen it on tap. I tend to prefer bottle-conditioned beers to their kegged counterparts, anyway, so no worries. Anyway, this is a very nice Belgian ale, basically a spiced version of the many strong...

Just finished reading the Stella thread – man, folks are passionate about their beer! My beer refrig has always been full of Bass Ale. Just wondering what the perception of Bass is these days...

I went to the Saturday session and thought it was fantastic. Lots of fun and a great opportunity to try lots of both British and American cask-conditioned ales - still a great selection on the last day. Beers are all around 4.5%...

If you’re a fan of cask-conditioned beers, plan to head over to this event. Here’s a snip from the webpage: The 5th annual New England Real Ale Exhibition (NERAX) will be held from May 1st to May 5th at the George...

think both of these places are placing the focus on US beers and mainly the Mid Atlantic. As far as I know the fest lasts all weekend. I know the Brazen Head is all weekend. MMMMM, cask ale....

's Harvest Ale varities. Very interesting and much less an investment than a high-end cask finished whisky.

The Wine and Cheese Cask in Somerville has it. And you can pop up the road and enjoy it on tap at The Thirsty Scholar too! At least, they had it last year, and are a Shipyard-affialiated pub in some way so I expect they’ll...

. Economically, we have all fallen on difficult times. We have all suffered in different ways. It is important you know the Ale House was not immune to this condition. Since we closed our doors, devoted patrons have told us they...

Josh, I’ve been a bit disappointed with dba lately. Their selection of good American micros seems very limited, the cask ale taps unused, etc. etc. On my last visit, about 2 weeks ago, I was hoping for a hoppy bitter/pale...

The burgers were 30, the beers were 20 (cask ale was more) and the buffalo calamari was like 15. add tax and tip and voila. I can deal with a mediocre meal and substandard service every once in a while. It was a combo of those...

I can attest to the fair treatment at Lucky Beverage. I was fortunate to be able to clean them out of their Aass Bock and Le Coq’s Imperial about a year or so ago, both in fine condition. He even let me have a couple of...

Hi xcptnl, My husband and I are both enthusiastic consumers of real ale. We’re from the west coast and are fanatical hopheads, so that limits what I can comment on. We enjoyed our first couple of visits there, but on the...

Ipswich Summer Ale from Mercury Brewing of MA. It is light-colored but very tasty and firm-bodied; it’s not at all a typical dumbed-down “lite” summer beer. I’d love to try Bell’s Oberon, but...

the character of the finished product. The storage/conditioning part of the formula is also quite important (in what container, at what temperature, for how long). So ale is beer, and lager is beer, but ale is not lager. Ale uses...
