I usually like lagers...anyways if you never tried ..it's not very filling.
This is still a lager. Lager or Ale nomenclature is a reference to the fermentation temperature of the yeast, ie an ale yeast or a lager yeast.
Ales came about during the middle ages because refrigeration didn't exist outside of a glacier. Most beer back then "was" ale.
Later on, ales were used during the Colonial period, for example in India when during the British occupation, kegs of beer had to survive the journey. They started out on ships with ale yeast, fermentation under way, then hit Calcutta and was trucked on hand carts to the troops in the northern area of what is Pakistan today.
Lower temp lagers were more rare, except for northern Europe obviously.
That piss you are drinking is a lager, with it's lower temperature requirement (like most commercially brewed beer in America) with adjuncts added to increase alcohol percentage by volume. This generally means "rice." However most American swill is already brewed with rice anyway, along with a barley wort. (Starch turns to sugar turns to alcohol)
And yes, I am THIS knowledgeable on beer, however in my curmudgeonly, old man attempt to impress the living shit out of everyone with a verbose treatise on bullshit, I did not require "google."
And America? PLEASE stop overhopping your ales. Ale does not mean "hoppy." India Pale Ale (IPA) described above does require more hops for authenticity, because England to India was so distant, that even the higher temp ale yeasted swill tasted like shit without adding a bunch of yeast once it reached India for the troops.
LMAO! Later on I'll read this and wonder why I posted under the influence of pain pills. I was a home brewer for a few years. Really enjoyed it.
