Lager
Lager, originating from central Europe, particularly Germany and the Czech Republic, is known for its crisp, clean taste and refreshing qualities. Brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast at cooler temperatures, around 45-55°F (7-13°C), lager offers a smooth flavor profile with subtle fruity or spicy notes from the yeast.
Lagers range from pale to amber in color, with variations including darker styles like Dunkel or Schwarzbier. They are lighter-bodied compared to ales, featuring balanced maltiness and gentle hop bitterness that varies by type. Lager's extended cold conditioning enhances clarity and effervescence, refining its texture and taste.
Popular styles like Pilsner, Helles, and Bock showcase lager's versatility and appeal. It pairs well with a wide range of foods, from light salads to heartier dishes like burgers and sausages. Enjoyed globally by both large breweries and craft brewers, lager remains a favorite for its approachable flavor and refreshing character.
