Ale vs. Lager Beer - What's the Difference? 

Just a drunk who figured out wearing flannel and brewing himself made his habit more acceptable

Yoooo. I just realized he drunk af 😂😂😂

He is actually not drunk at all and I produced this. : )

Hahaha

I heard him say ip is once or twice

Not realy. Bottom-fermented beers are called Lager(beer), because they store well. Fermenting these beers at a lower temperature than top-fermented beers like Ale is not a question of joice. The yeast would simply not survive at similar temperatures than the top-fermenting yeast. This means before modern cooling systems were invented, bottom-fermented beers could only be produced in the winter, but in ice cellars these beers could be stored until fall. That's why there are so man beer fiests in fall as well.

@@stricknitt0184 um, actually *lager* is German for "storage." Lager beer is so called because originally (in the 1400s), lager brewed in Bavaria was stored in caves during its fermentation period. So yes, it relates to storage, but storage _during_ fermentation, not afterwards! But, you are correct in saying that nowadays, "lager" just means any bottom-fermented beer. (I used to work for a large, well-known UK brewery 🙂)

@@caddelworth Sorry, you are wrong. It is called Lagerbier because it stores well after it's main fermentation. During the Lagerung (storage) , the time after the main fermentation, it developes even more flavors and in opposit to other beers does not go bad so easily. Maybe you used the word Lager in your english brewery wrong. I can just tell you the original german meaning.

@@stricknitt0184 Ah! Thank you for the correction! Yes, probably my *Scottish* (not English!!!) brewery was using the word wrongly. I sit correcied!

@@caddelworth Oh, sorry. I used "english" as a synonym for the UK. Vereinigtes Königreich (United Kindom) is mostly only used in news etc. Its to long and UK is a bit strange with german pronounciation😅.

You can ferment Lagers at warmer temperatures it's more just traditional at this point to ferment cold. Look up brulosophy and what they say on it

Voss kevik (checky spelling) correct?

@@synthblade Yes. It can ferment even at 40C.

They didn't create Kveik yeast, they have been around for a very, very long time.

The kind of man i could sit down and have a beer with.

@@Dontbustthecrust except for the teeth that would trigger all sorts of OCDs for me!

@@benjamingiguere well that's your problem.

@@Dontbustthecrust Agree to disagree

@@travzimmerman1340 well I'm not trying to convince you of anything. If you dont like his teeth it's litterally YOUR problem not mine. Have fun with being so shallow.

Killians Irish Red ale,malty with enough hops to taste without being bitter. One of my favorites. 🤓🍻

Kind of. Most beer (regardless of whether it is lager or ale) has hops in it. The main difference is the type of yeast. And also to be anal about it lagern = to store in German, so it's a verb rather than a noun (I'm a language nerd as well as a beer nerd).

Barf.

Yuengling lager almost doesn't even rate as a beer. I can sorta tolerate their Porter, if I have to.

@@whollyfree Snobs get out,

As a craft-beer lover (but never a beer snob), I also love Yuengling Lager, because it has interesting flavor and body. The Black & Tan and the straight-up Porter are also good stuff, and I think the Light Lager is one of the best macro lights around, because it actually tastes like its heavier brother -- only a bit less so. Ain't bad for a macro, and I can get a sixer of 16 oz. cans here for 7 and a half bucks, before tax. For tasty beer, that is a helluva good deal.

@@HayTatsuko they make a chocolate porter also in conjunction with Hershey (20-30 miles away) that is real nice. Black and Tan sprinkle a little pepper on top.

Have you tried any of the other variations of Yuengling? If so, did you like any of them?

😂😂😂

Cornish!

The beer bible by jeff alworth is a great read

Here's a post from the Beer Advocate. The Beer Advocate scored Sam Adams Boston Lager with an 85 which = Very good according to their rating system. It is my favorite lager hands down!! Macro lagers scored very poorly on the Advocate, with Budweiser coming in last place. 4.78/5 rDev +27.1% look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 5 | overall: 5 Honestly, this beer just screams quality and balance. The fact that I see so many 3.0-3.5 reviews just goes to show how many people don’t know what quality made lager is. This is a 4.5-5.0 beer, hands down. I don’t drink this beer often, but every time I do, it reminds me how well crafted it is. From the moment it’s poured into the glass, to the final drink at the end of the pint. Beautiful dark gold/amber color, great lacing, absolutely fantastic aroma of quality German hops, and the bold flavor of fresh malt to counter slight bitterness. I mean come on people. Open your eyes and stop being so critical of this beer simply because it’s not your local hometown brewery down the street. As mentioned, and with all due respect, if you do not rate this beer at least a 4.5, you do not have the knowledge or right to be rating beers on this site. Nov 22, 2019

Not liquor stores.

The craft beer scene here in Australia is off the bloody charts, and it’s not a bad thing. But I still come home to my faithful Coopers green (pale ale). Nice and cloudy, just remember to gently roll the bottle a few times before opening to mix the sediment 👌🏼

I'll have James Boag's Premium out of Tasmania when I am on the Gold Coast in Oz. Beer is bloody expensive there though. As for the so call "craft" beers which seems to be a North American marketing buzz word, I have had a few. In my books, nothing special, but then I am in Europe every summer. No "craft" beers there, just damn good beer.

^^^^^

You obviously didn’t listen to what he had to say

@@bmozafari7 I did and it was informative, but still doesn't mean he didn't sound drunk. Jokingly of course!

I'm sorry but I just finished my 4th IPA but I believe he is part of quality assurance you got to taste the beer / ale every day! does anybody know where I can get a hold of HR? I am an expert!

It's reassuring, shows his beer is good. Never trust a skinny chef to cook your food well 😉

I love IPA and APA. There are some that have a slight dishwater taste, as if there is some washing up liquid in them, and I think that is the hop or hops. A good IPA does not have a dishrag taste. However, taste perceptions differ. Maybe you just don’t like strong hops.

It's mostly a getting used thing, you think it's hoppy but it's really not, the threshold it's just so low with comertial brews, I started out like that thinking beers where to hoppy but as you drink more and more that what you consider to be bitter just gives way to all the other flavors hops add, it's like getting used to the spiciness of peppers, once you get over the spiciness you start picking out the flavors the chilly ads. Cheers mate!

"You can get away with serving urine at those temperatures and nobody notices." I have a strong suspicion the French do - which is probably why most of them drink wine!

Some German beers I can't stand because the certain yeast they use makes it have these banana undertones.

I was going to mention that difference but I thought it was the other way around. 🤓🍻

use a lager yeast... keep it for a long time chilled

Hahaha same! My first beer experience was a blue moon and I just couldn't do it... tried a Yuengling and it was on!

Most Belgian or German beers beat any "craft" beer!

@@georgederuiter1412 Depends whether you prefer Belgian or German beers to craft beers. It's subjective.
