Coke was first used for dry roasting malt used in making Pale Ale all the way back in 1642. Yes, Coke. However, not the soda, not the drug, Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. Using Coke allowed for a lighter roast of the malt, leading to the creation of what by the end of the 17th century was called pale ale.[4]; (Previously, brewers had used wood)
