Britain's contribution is cask ale. Unfiltered, unpasteurised, still fermenting in the vessel it is served from, pulled by hand at cellar temperature. It is a fragile way to sell beer and survives largely because drinkers organised to defend it.

The median is 5.5% ABV. Half of them fall between 4.6% and 7.1%. Measured on 358 of the 403; the rest carry no strength.
Oldest brewery with a sourced year: Shepherd Neame, 1698.
Oldest beer with a sourced year: Newcastle Brown Ale, 1927.
These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in United Kingdom are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
