Answer 1

you mean "lager"

Answer 2

JKK109 is pretty much correct. Lagers are cold fermented with bottom fermenting yeast and ales are fermented at warmer temperatures with top fermenting yeast. Both are beers, however some Brits do call only ales beers. There is another beer style called a steam beer which uses lager yeast but warmer fermenting temperatures.


Strength, colour, and "thickness" have nothing to do with it being an ale or a lager. Try a doppelbock (lager) if you doubt me.

Answer 3

A Lager is a beer that is fermented at cooler temps (called Lagering). Hence the name. Ales are fermented warmer temps. Lagers And Ales are both beer. These names only denote the two types of fermentation.

Answer 4

In England, lager is a type of beer, the lightest coloured, sharpest tasting type, which is served at a lower temperature than bitters.

We also have bitters, stouts, porters (a type of bitter) and so on.

In other countries like Egypt, the Dominican Republic and the USA they only really have lagers, and they call them beers. Those countries may sell stouts and bitters but they are far, far less common than in England, so there is less need to distinguish lager from bitter - so they just call lagers "beer".

Answer 5

Beer is basically divided into two categories: Lager and Ale.

Lager is bottom-fermented by yeast (not distilled as stated above) at lower temperatures (not higher, as also stated above), generally between 40F-50F.
The word Lager comes from the German lagern, which means to store. Beer was fermented in March and then stored in cool caves through the summer.

Most mass-marketed American beers are pale lagers: Budweiser, Miller, Coors, etc.
It is generally not stronger than other beer (also as stated above). Ales tend to be stronger.
Stouts and Bitters are also ales (not other types of beer in addition to ales and lagers, also stated above. Thanks 'bar manager').
'Spelt' is an ancient type of wheat, 'spelled' is...oh I give up.

Reading through all the mis-information was worth it just to get to this statement:
"beer is an alcoholic beverage, and larger is the opposite of smaller. hope this helps."
That's my favorite and my vote for best answer (other than mine, of course).

Cheers.

Answer 6

There is no difference, Lagers are beers. Lagers are beers that are fermented at colder temperatures with a bottom fermenting yeast strain.

Answer 7

Lager is a type of beer... such as Tennents, Stella Artois, Carlsberg, Carling, Harp, etc. Some other types of beer are Ale (Bass, Smithwicks); Bitter (Tetley's, Boddington's) and Stout (Guinness, Murphy's). Hope that answers your question.

Answer 8

It's lager. It's fermented at higher temperatures than beer. In my opinion, it's stronger and tastes way better. I hope you're old enough to drink.

Answer 9

Lager is a type of beer, ale is another type. The differnece is in the yeast used.

Answer 10

Larger

Answer 11

Beer is spelt beer and lager is not spelled the way you think, buddy.
