[..This does NOT include Malt Liquor, which has too high an alcohol content by law to be labeled lager or ale, and contains 5 to 6% alcohol. When most of the alcohol is removed from an ale, it is called "near beer", & has a content of alcohol of 1 half of a percent.
Since Ale ferments rapidly, it is referred to as a "top - fermented" beer. It has A HIGHER ALCOHOL content, & is heartier & darker than Lager types.]

NOTE:"> ALL BEERS can be DEFINED as either ALE or LAGER>
Differences occur in the brewing technique used, like variances in the yeast used & temperature of the fermentation process.

Interesting little byte:.. is that AMERICA has been said to have a 90% portion of all malt beverages being produced as LAGER BEER.


Lager is a beer that tends to ferment more slowly & at colder temperatures than ale.
This is due to the yeast settling to the bottom of the tank, which gives it a nickname of "bottom - fermented" beer--Yeah, if you indulge, *U* could metaphorically say some 'think' like: you're sipping the bottom of the barrel.. Also, Lager beer is aged under refrigeration for several months. The German term "lagern" means "to store" or "storehouse."


Pilsner beer is a light Lager beer with a STRONG FLAVOR OF HOPS. It originated in Pilsen, a Czech Republic city, around 1877. Being a golden & delicate Lager, it was a drastic switch from the dark, sweet beers that were common at that time. Pilsner, at one point, has been the most widely copied beer & gained a spot in the world's most popular beer type.

So if I had my choice of selection, I'm more open to explore what flavor would fit the occasion. What about you? Would you stick to just one type of brew classification, or go with the liquid flow of the mood or mode? Also, what's on your menu for coinciding with the choice of beer?
Whether it be :lips::lips: OR :muscle::muscle:. . ."TRUE BLUE" IS The GENE that fits ALL;)

For me it depends on the occasion. If its a weeknight thing meeting up with people i work with, then more likely than not, it would be an ale, but that also depends on the people im meeting with, cause then i might go for a nice mixed drink :thumbup:. But if its a nice dinner party i prefer red wine ;). Now if it is a PARTY! I prefer the hard stuff lol. My norm is Vodka, but I do love the occasional Jager-bomb. :)

but Ale :)
