Asbury Festhalle Bier Blatt: 03/31/16

Coke used in Pale Ale?

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)

There are many different types of Pale Ales.  The Festhalle carries the following examples:

American Pale Ales – Character – Well balanced in malt and hops
