What makes a Cream Ale different from a regular Ale?
Those bastards!Brewpastor said:That has become my preferred phrase for these beers now that Anchor has layed claim to Steam. Bastard Lager was the original name for our Outlaw Lager, but the Federal Label approval folks didn't go for it. Now the term is all over the place - go figure!
Brewpastor said:In many ways Cream Ale is the ale version of the old Classic American Pilsners, where 6-row and corn both played a key roll. CAP is not the same as MBC by the way. Cream ale is also a Bastard Ale, cold fermented ale, as opposed to Bastard Lagers, like Steam Beer that are warm fermented lagers.
