Welcome to The Guest Ale. It’s a beer reviews site produced by real ale fans. We look to champion new and exciting microbreweries as well as look at some old favourites from the world of beer. Real ale and craft beer is fast growing in popularity, especially amongst younger drinkers bored by mass-produced generic lagers, and the UK’s microbrewing sector is booming with more than 700 brewers in business currently. The European, US and Australian craft brewing scenes are also thriving, so we’ve got a never-ending selection of beer to work through and review.

On this site you’ll find a whole stash of beer reviews, features and podcasts on some great ales, and check out our Beer Blog where our invited bloggers write about their favourite real ales, brewers, new discoveries, pubs and more.

Most of all, we hope you enjoy The Guest Ale and please enjoy real ale and craft beer responsibly.
