For beer aficionado Steve Beaumont, author of the Premium Beer Drinker's Guide, traditional-style British cask ale is the crème de la crème of ales. It's served lukewarm in British pubs, poured from the cask of its final fermentation. Happily for ale drinkers, it's beginning to appear in the United States, too, as more and more brewers are making it here.
You'll have to go to a pub to drink this style of ale. Here's a few to try:
