Ale/Beer, in my book is the stuff made by micro breweries and not the cream flow ***** that me dad drinks.

Just playing 'dig up an old thread' at the moment.

Simple definition:

An ale (includes stouts) is brewed using a top-fermenting yeast at relatively high temperatures

A lager is brewed using a bottom-fermenting yeast at relatively low temperatures.

Both are types of beer.

Cream-flow refers to the dispensation method for presentation and is nothing to do with the brewing process. It is when a mix of carbon dioxide and nitrogen is used to pump the beer, or when opening a can of the beer, a 'widget' of nitrogen is released. Nitrogen forms smaller bubbles - and the same volume of smaller bubbles will have a greater surface area and will taste 'creamier' or smoother.
