Beer lager is a bottom-fermented drink. It ripens at a low temperature during storage. The beer is characterized by low strength, light amber or golden color and light taste. This variety, judging by the reviews, is ideal for quenching thirst, as well as for enhancing the taste of various dishes.

Camps

Pale lager is the most bottled beer available in all bars. At the same time, he is opposed by ale - another world type of this drink. The whole difference lies in the yeast. Lager beer is a dry, light and light drink in the Czech-German style. It was invented in 1842 in Bohemia. Nobody knows when ale was invented. This is the oldest way to make beer - m alt, hops, wild yeast, water.

Everyone knows that beer ferments. The bottom fermentation is German and Vienna lager, a beer that is typical of Europe and also common in the rest of the world. Its production is a high-tech process: the drink ferments for a very long time, with temperature control, cooling. Top fermentation isa process where a head of yeast just floats on the surface of the drink at room temperature. This method is more archaic - this is how ales are fermented.

It strikes many that bars serve beer warm enough, at room temperature. This is not just a whim: a drink fermented in warmth will reveal all the beauties of its aroma and taste in this form. Lagers are always drunk chilled. In the majority of Moscow pubs, English beer is also poured cold into mugs. Even in winter.

Beer lager comes in many varieties. About 5 years ago, lagers from the USA were very fashionable, of which there are three or four varieties, including the universally famous Miller beer. Now this fashion is over. Everyone is back to pilsners again, namely lagers, which emphasize hops.

The people of the Czech Republic quite rightly believe that a true pilsner can only be brewed in their city of Pilsen, where, in their opinion, the best hops on the planet grow. But envious brewers from other regions thought differently already in the 19th century, after which the German pilsner appeared (the most popular at the moment is Beck’s), as well as the American one. Today, Czech pilsner is cooked even in Kaluga, and is sold in the best Moscow restaurants.

It should be noted that German lagers are very diverse, it is pointless to list them. The Germans at Oktoberfest prepare seasonal beer - dark Bavarian and Munich varieties, including Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier - an unusual smoked drink. But all thisparticular. The world's main lagers are Carlsberg, Foster's, Corona, Beck's, Kronenbourg, Stella Artois, Heineken, produced in different parts of the world without reference to any one country.

Light and dark lager

Beer dark and light has nothing to do with the struggle between good and evil, the point is in its main component - m alt. Hue is determined by the amount of dark m alt used in the brew and the degree of roasting of the m alt. The most common types: chocolate, caramel, burnt - all of them can be found on the label of B altika No. 6, familiar to many Russians. It should be noted that both lager and ale can be dark. About the same story with the discussion about "unfiltered" and "filtered" beer - absolutely anything can be the first or second. In addition, wheat beer is filtered and dark, for example, a drink from Maisel’s Weisse (a well-known Bavarian manufacturer), which can be purchased in almost every supermarket.

Wheat lagers

Drink made from m alt and hops, mostly with hops or m alt in mind. Although it happens from time to time that the latter is replaced by another grain - rye, wheat or rice - it is put into beer in China, moreover, at large breweries, thus reducing the cost of the process. Wheat is brewed heavily in Bavaria, most likely due to an overabundance of grain. For example, Schneider Weisse, made in Upper Bavaria and very popular in our supermarkets, is the best example of this.

In Moscow, as noted in the reviews, for Belgian beer you need to go to the Beermarket or Beer Cell. It is so unusual that before you buy it, you should try it - experienced buyers advise.

Belgian Hougaarden with the addition of orange made wheat lagers popular around the world. By the way, Belgian beer is the strangest on the planet. They put raspberries, cherries, other fruits and even vegetables in it. Such are Bellevue or raspberry Lindemans Framboise. These varieties are rather closer to ales. In our country, Kruger (lager), a beer produced by the Tomskoye Pivo brewery, is becoming more and more popular.

It so happened that here in the 19th century a private brewery R. I. Kruger, a great connoisseur of the foamy drink, a respected person in society. He developed a beer culture by opening quality establishments. All the local intelligentsia came here for beer: writers, scientists, architects, industrialists, students of Tomsk universities and doctors. It was a time when gold was mined in the Ushaika River in Tomsk. Only it quickly ended, and the main we alth of the city was the beer brewed at the brewery R. I. Kruger.

Now let's take a look at the best offerings in the ocean of this foamy drink.

Pilsener

Beer (lager) Pilsener ("Pilsener") was brewed for the first time in the Bohemian city of Pilsen in 1842 by Josef Groll (invited Bavarian brewer), who used slightly roasted m alt for this. This drink is quite dry and has a noticeable aftertaste.hops.

Today, Pilsener is one of the most popular types of Bavarian beer.

Dortmund export beer

Lager Dortmunder Export (Dortmund export beer) is now produced in Munich. The term "export" is used to refer to the strength of the drink. But beer brewed in the capital of Bavaria is sweeter. It has a higher strength compared to other Bavarian varieties: it contains 4.8-6.0% alcohol.

White Beer

Weissbier (white beer) has been around for centuries. It got its name because of the color, which is much lighter than the widespread dark drink. It is made from wort, which consists of 40% barley m alt and 60% wheat. Weissbier is basically unfiltered, hence the yeast left in it makes it a bit cloudy. White beer has a rich flavor and very little hop bitterness.

Wheat filtered beer is called Kristall Weizen ("crystal clear"). Also in Bavaria, low-alcohol and stronger varieties of the drink are made.

Black beer

Schwarzbier ("Schwarzbier") got its name because of the dark brown deep color. Roasted m alt is used for its preparation. The drink has a m alty aroma, viscous structure, rich soft taste. It contains approximately 5.0% alcohol.

Reviews

Reviews about the camp can be found very different. Some people fail to understand how you can drink beer warm and they cool it down. Otherconsider it too easy. Still others appreciate its delicate rich taste and ability to perfectly cope with thirst.
