A Conversation for Real Ale

Whilst a very good article on real ale, it doesn't metion the different styles of ale avaliable. You can get ales which range in colour from a very pale yellow (sort of lager coloured) through to stuff that is as dark as guinness (which was once a real ale also!).
The range of different taste sensations is just as wide, there is an ale out there which you will like. Finding it is the hard (but fun) part

I agree
but I tried to keep the article general. If I were to go into each of the different styles then I'd fill up a fair feew more pages, maybe later

There is plenty of space in the guide
I guess that as it's a general article it's very good. I just wanted to point out about all the diferent types, colours tastes etc that one can get in real ale. I wasn't trying to critisise honest, I wasn't .

I know
I was actually a cellarman in Real Ale pubs for just over six years, and have tried a lot, it was my job

Never done any cellarman stuff.
I have had a tour of a (very) small commercial(ish) micro brewery as part of a project meeting a couple of years ago. After a quick (it couldn't be anything but) tour, we were told go on then have anything you want .

Keltek, before the owner (Stuart Heath) sold up his little 'hobby' operation to concentrate on the main business (the Fibredata group).
He ran the operation from a room in one of the outbuildings at his house in cornwall. Trying to fill a pint glass from the outlet of a forty gallong fermenter was interesting though

Superb beers the Keltek ones, although they're hard to get hold off over here in Ipswich

I've only seen them twice, once in the brewery and once at the GBBF, but they weren't on for the session I was there for

I've stocked them in Ipswich, and drank them in Peterborough and Leicester

There are others in the pipe line as well, including Lager and Stout. They all went in together along with the Beer Glasses that was approved on Thursday. So hopefully soon there'll be more
