The tendency is to class any "premium bottled ale" as a real ale and unfortunately this confusion is not going to go away, despite the best efforts of CAMRA.<br /><br />However, every cloud has a silver lining, and it is certainly good news that more people are buying ale, in whatever form. It is especially good news for many of the smaller breweries who often struggle to find outlets for their cask ales, due to loan tie agreements and other restrictions within the on-trade.<br /><br />I certainly enjoyed several different beers with my turkey dinner this Christmas, and I know full well that many other beer lovers will have done the same.
