"Those who look upon beer as something coarse, common and low; who regard it as something to be drunk in secret but not in public, as something not quite 'nice', should cast away all associations and come to a beer afresh and taste it afresh... I do not ask them to go through any of the ritual of the connoisseur or to titillate their palates. I ask them merely to drink with an open gullet and an open mind"
ANONYMOUS BRITISH WRITER, 1934.
Welcome to my Real Ale Database. In these pages you will find details of all the cask conditioned British beers for which I have been able to obtain details. The information has been sorted into three sections - brewer name, beer name, and beer strength. To obtain details, just select one of the hypertext links below.
Once in the 'database', the [previous] and [next] icons load other files in the section. The [index] icon returns back to here.
Some beers in the list are marked with a '*'. These are beers which are not brewed all year round, or which have been recently discontinued.
Thanks to those nice web counter people,
I can tell you that customers have walked through
these pub doors since opening time on 18th November 1995.

The information in this file has been collected from many sources and is being continually updated. It is inevitable that there will be some errors, ommisions and out of date material. For amusement only!
If you do notice any errors, please let me know. Special thanks to David Hirst for his help with the research and for his work typing much of the data.
The Real Ales Database is intended to be a continually evolving store of information and personal comments. For it to thrive, it is essential that we receive regular feedback from our customers.
If you have a favourite beer, have any comments about a beer, or have spotted any errors or ommission, please EMAIL to gsb@thepub.u-net.com .
This "database" was originally produced to practice 'C' programing and to explore the capabilities of HTML. The data files were produced automatically from information gathered from many sources, including personal recomendations, breweries own publicity material, the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and my own 'research'. All comments within should be treated with caution as it is impossible to verify all of the details. (Although it could be fun trying - Hic!)
Enjoy Real Ale, but in moderation, Please!
