== [[Literature]] ==
* In Robert Jordan's ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', the favored alcoholic beverages seem to be wine, wine punch, and brandy. On the few occasions someone is drinking beer, though, it is ale.

* In the novels of ''[[Deverry]]'', at least some of the beer brewed in Deverry is small beer. During the siege of Cengarn, Rhodry remarks that once the beer runs out, they'll be forced to drink vinegar-sanitized water.
* ''[[The Dresden Files]]''. Although the series takes place in 21st century America—where most commercially available beer is lager—Harry actually prefers a craft ale brewed by the owner of Macanally's.
* Lampshaded in the Discworld novel ''[[Discworld/The Last Continent|The Last Continent]]'', which notes that "Ankh-Morpork beer was technically ale, that is to say, gravy made from hops", in the context of explaining why Rincewind doesn't take the light, fizzy stuff they have in Fourecks seriously... until he wakes up with little memory of the previous evening.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* Averted on ''[[Red Dwarf]]''; beer is almost always referred to as "lager".
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Subverted in ''[[Brütal Legend|Brutal Legend]]'': upon arriving to the Age of Metal, Eddie automatically assumes that everyone there will be drinking ale and mead, but Ophelia is puzzled by these terms and says that they only have generic beer.
