Standard Ale

Standard ale kits provide approachable, versatile beers without committing to the stronger hop character of an IPA or the roast profile of a stout. The current range includes familiar real ale and Irish red ale choices.

Choosing an ale kit

• Traditional real ale: Lion Real Ale provides a straightforward classic option.
• Irish red ale: Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Irish Red Ale offers a red, malt-led direction.
• For a lighter style: Compare the wider pale ale range.
• For richer malt character: Explore dark and brown ale kits.

Check the recommended fermentable and fermentation temperature. If replacing supplied yeast, choose a compatible strain from the beer yeast range and expect the finished character to change.
