Historically, Ales were the main source of nutrients in the medieval world. Along with Pottage and Bread, Ale was one of the top sources of grains. It provided ample calorie intake for soldiers and farmers with less or sometimes even no intoxicating effect. In the modern era, Ale is typically fermented in between 15 to 24-degree Celsius temperature. It uses warm fermentation methods which results in sweet and fruity taste in beer. Ale uses gruit as a bittering agent to balance the malt and preservatives which is then replaced by hops.
