⏵ What is bottle-conditioned beer?
Bottle-conditioned beer contains live yeast and continues to condition in the bottle. This traditional process can add character and complexity and is one of the reasons bottle-conditioned beer is prized by real ale enthusiasts.
⏵ Will there be sediment in the bottle?
Yes. As the beer is bottle conditioned, you may notice a small amount of yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle. This is a natural part of the traditional brewing and conditioning process.
⏵ How should I serve real ale?
Real ale can be enjoyed at a cool cellar temperature or chilled according to personal preference. For the best experience, take care when pouring to decide whether you'd like to leave the natural yeast sediment in the bottle.
