When in GB I prefer to drink Guinnes stout. I have also tasted some really good ales, and I have a question to you who sit on the expertise: what is the difference between Real Ale and Pale Ale?

I'm not claiming to be expert so I'll quote some people who do.
The term "Real Ale" was invented by a pressure group called the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA): here's a definition from their website
www.camra.org.ukReal ale is beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide.
Real ale is also known as 'cask-conditioned beer', 'real cask ale', 'real beer' and 'naturally conditioned beer'.
Pale ale is a particular style of beer; there's also India Pale Ale, Light Ale, Brown Ale and so on, you can read definitions at the website of Michael Jackson (no, not that one): [a href=\"http://www.beerhunter.com/beerstyles.html]http://www.beerhunter.com/beerstyles.html[/url]
Hope this helps.
