Lager is a type of beer.
Lagers are brewed using a yeast that floats. Ales are brewed using a yeast that doesn't float. And the stuff in tins you get from the supermarket is made of chemicals.

t's all beer.
Generally, all beers are either ales or lagers.
The difference is mainly the type of yeast used to make them. Ale yeasts work at slightly warmer temperatures than lager yeasts, and ales are generally quicker to make than lagers. They also have a bit more flavor, generally speaking.
Most beers made in the world are lagers, but those who really know beer are somewhat more likely to prefer ales.

As IrishKelly 57 says its all to do with where the yeast ferments & the word 'lager' is Germanic for storage. A better set of distinctions are light beer, heavy beer, stout - porter & old ales. All English terms. The best beers are Castle lager from my homeland & IPA; the worst German smoked beer...excuse me while I chunder!

None. Lager is beer. It's just one of hundreds of different types of beer.
Lager, ale, bitter, mild, heavy, pilsner, stout.
Believe it or not, both beer and bread evolved from the same original pre-medieval recipie.
It was a sort of intoxicating foul smelling and tasting sludge that would be boiled up and kept warm in a pot all day, providing nourishment for everyone.
Over the years, it gradually got refined into a highly satisfyng drink, and also into a tasty accompaniment for jam and butter.

It's not "larger", it's "lager", and here's your answer:
The World's biggest category of beers, lagers are all brewed using lager yeasts that sink to the bottom of the brewing vessel. Brewed at a lower temperature than ales, they are stored (or lagered, from "lager" in German) for up to 6 weeks before being sold. Most mainstream American beers are lagers, as are most German beers.
Ales differ from lagers as their yeast remains on the top of the fermenting liquid and they ferment at higher temperatures. This yields a headier, more rustic, aromatic character, enhanced by enjoying them at cellar temperature.

The call 'beer' covers many diverse beverages. those incorporate: Ale (The classic ones, inclusive of Theakstons, or Newcastle Brown Ale) bitter (For annoying adult males up North. An occasion is Boddingtons) Stout (Guiness and Murphy's are the only 2 i've got ever heard of) Lager (vulnerable tasting, bubbly, examples incorporate Carling, Fosters, Stella Artois.... i understand rather some lagers). So fairly, lager is a variety of beer.
