FAQs
What are the different types of beer?
There are many different types of beer, categorized by factors like the brewing process, ingredients, and flavor profile. Some popular types include:
- Lagers: Light-colored, crisp, and refreshing beers with a smooth finish. Examples include Pilsner, Helles, and American Lager.
- Ales: Fruitier and more complex than lagers, with a wider range of flavors and aromas. Examples include Pale Ale, India Pale Ale (IPA), Wheat Beer, and Stout.
- Sour beers: Characterized by a tart or acidic flavor, often due to the use of specific yeast strains or the addition of fruits. Examples include Lambics, Gose, and Flanders, Red Ale.
What is the difference between an ale and a lager?
The main difference between ales and lagers is the type of yeast used in the fermentation process. Ales use warm-fermenting yeasts, while lagers use cold-fermenting yeasts.
This difference leads to distinct flavor profiles: ales tend to be fruitier and more complex, while lagers are typically crisper and cleaner.
