Ales are made with a type of yeast that rises to the top as it ferments. Ale yeast works at higher temperatures than lager yeasts and produce richer, fruitier flavours and aromas. Prior to the growth and subsequent domination of lager brewing in the 20th century, ales were the most popular beers in the world.

Fruit-flavoured ale or lager. Fruits have been added to beer for centuries and the beer body, colour, hop character and strength will all vary depending on the type of fruit used. Traditionally, fruit beers have been associated with Belgian Lambic styles. In recent times a number of Polish Breweries have expanded their beer range (reflecting a growing interest in these beer styles) by experimenting with new and exotic flavours including plum, cherry, blueberry, raspberry and many more.

Beer with a honey flavour and aroma. Honey is a popular addition for many brewers as it provides varied flavours and aromas that add complexity and character. Honey contains a range of sugars and also living organisms such as yeast and bacteria. Honey can be added directly to the beer where it can take as long as 8 weeks to fully ferment. The percentage of honey added to the brew is only about 2-10% of ingredients. A variety of honey can be used depending on the desired flavour and results.

ABV % varies

Lagers are bottom-fermented beers with a crisp, clean taste. The term lager comes from the German 'lagern' which means 'store' in reference to the long time lagers will spend in cold storage. Lagers are made with lager yeasts which ferment at lower temperatures, producing a clean, dry beer. They are generally lighter in body with a less-fruity aroma than ale. Brewed to a sufficient strength and well conditioned they can be excellent beers. In the past 100 years, lagers have become the dominant beers of the world.

Very low or non-alcoholic beers brewed in any style.

Stout and Porter are closely related dark beer styles. All Stouts and Porters are dark beers that are full of character, and can be sweet or dry. They can range from light-bodied, transparent beers to thick, syrupy and bitter brews.

Wheat Beers are made with malted barley (just like other beers) but also have a proportion of malted wheat. A beer made solely with malted wheat (without the barley) would not work as the wheat grain would not be able to convert the starches to sugar. Wheat beers tend to be cloudy and light orange in colour. Flavours of plum, apple banana and a vanilla after taste are sometimes evident. Wheat beers are generally good thirst-quenchers. The body is light to medium, and the wheat lends a crispness to the beer, often with some acidity. There may be some hop flavour, but bitterness is generally low.
