Summer is officially over and the cooler brewing season is quickly approaching.
It almost sounds like I'm glad summer is over. It's not that I don't like the mosquitoes, or cutting the grass, or the million and one other projects that seem to get in the way of brewing. With the weather as lovely as it has been over the last few days, the first style many brew is a good English-style ale. Its a flavorful brew with not quite as much fizz as many of the American brews. The first thing you'll notice with English ales is the beautiful color and distinctive head.
