Ale (661 words) |
 | Ale is an old word for a fermented alcoholic beverage obtained chiefly from malted barley which was formerly brewed without the use of hops. |
| Before the introduction of hops into England from Flanders in the 16th century ale was the name exclusively applied to malt liquor[?], the term beer being gradually introduced to describe liquor brewed with an infusion of hops. |
| The colleges of the universities used to brew their own ales and hold festivals known as college-ales; some of these ales are still brewed and famous, like "chancellor" at Queen's College, and "archdeacon" at Morton College[?], Oxford, and "audit ale" at Trinity, Cambridge. |
