What is the difference between a pale ale and a brown ale?

Pale Ale

• Pale ale is a lighter-bodied beer with a lower alcohol content.
• It is brewed with less malt and hops, resulting in a lighter color and lower bitterness.
• Pale ales are often brewed with specialty yeasts that produce a clean and crisp flavor.
• They are typically served at a cooler temperature, around 50-55°F (10-13°C).

Brown Ale

• Brown ale is a darker-bodied beer with a higher alcohol content.
• It is brewed with more malt and hops, resulting in a darker color and higher bitterness.
• Brown ales are often brewed with roasted barley, which gives them a rich and complex flavor.
• They are typically served at a warmer temperature, around 55-60°F (13-15°C).
