jonstark 8 #4 March 24, 2012 Ale is ale, lager is lager, pilsner is pilsner, etc. I do not like ale so vote for lager. I don't care about Googling which is which. I voted my preference but that wasn't the intent of your post anyway was it? jon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justme12001 0 #6 March 24, 2012 beer is beer... it only requires 4 things malt, water, hops and yeast. So they are both REAL beers, just different yeasts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #9 March 24, 2012 Quote Someone from the States asks a question about "real beer". Huhu. As if "real beer" was made there Oh, they make real beer here. Finding real ale (with live yeast in it pumped from its cask by hand instead of sprayed under pressure) is harder though.

Those guys seem to be afraid of flavor although the British deserve some credit for inventing styles that American microbreweries were able to improve on like the IPA.

oldwomanc6 60 #10 March 24, 2012 Thanks for the answers so far. Personally, I prefer ales (which doesn't mean anything beyond myself ). I like beers that are hoppier and less sweet, which in my neck of the woods means an ale rather than a European style beer (which are usually lagers). I also would rather drink a local microbrew rather than a national brand (again an ale rather than a lager (Miller, Anheuser Busch, Coors). But like virtually any other skydiver, I will drink what is plopped down in front of me lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #14 March 25, 2012 went to the local brew pub today because of this thread...gotta go with Ale. However, Ale wasn't really considered a beer since it originally was brewed without hops... Personally I prefer lager, especially if we're talking consumption... Stout always makes me happy...there's something about it. I'll drink it once every 3 years or so, but damn, what a good time!Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 60 #15 March 25, 2012 Corey, you should drink stout more often then. Three years between happies is too long. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,118 #16 March 25, 2012 Ale. You can make good beer either way with either process - but there are more interesting ale yeasts out there, and more brewers make more interesting beers with top fermenting yeasts than with bottom. And then, of course, there's steam beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,118 #18 March 25, 2012 >Technically, a lager. IIRC Lager yeast fermented warm like an ale. Definitely a "crossover" beer. Other beers in this general style are altbiers from Germany. "Altbier" means "ale beer" referring to the style - but once again they are generally made with lager yeasts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abedy 0 #20 March 25, 2012 Quote Quote You wanna "real beer" go to: - Germany - Czech Republic - England (OK, the temperature and some of what they call beer..., but...) Those guys seem to be afraid of flavor ... There seems to be a general rule: Brands that are heavily advertised - quite often "national" beers - ought to cater for all kinds of taste and thus, end up as a characterless mishmash. Czech beers seem to be an exception, the original Pilsner (Pilzenski Prazdroj) for example or the original Budweiser (Budejovicky Budvar) are well-known but have a unique, sort of "strong", characteristic taste. And same applies to beers from Belgium - there are so many kinds each of them is quite nice. You can taste 5 of them a day (best place to do is Bruxelles) and if you stay a week, you are faaaaar from being done. If you want to taste nice German beer, stay away from "Krombacher" or any other stuff available without effort in the US. Charlie Harper once drank "Radeberger", brewed in Radeberg near Dresden. That's a nice beer, Pilsner style. If ya wanna get a really strong one with a heavy flavour, ask for a Bockbier (strong lager) But again: Who would vote beer over boobies?

Andy9o8 2 #21 March 25, 2012 Quote Who would choose a beer over boobies??? Beer will never ask you to talk about "our relationship"; and if you've had enough and don't want any more, you just put it away. Oh, I almost forgot - the point of the thread: Ale.

SpeedRacer 1 #22 March 25, 2012 I brew both. Today I am brewing a Pilsner (a type of light lager). I have a freezer hooked through a thermostat so I can lager it at cool temperatures. Generally, ales are fermented at near room temperature using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and have a more rich flavor. Lagers are usually fermented at cooler temperatures (for a longer time) using Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and have a more dry, crisp flavor.
