- 5Both have different styles and variations.
What is the difference?
- 1Fermentation: Lagers are fermented at low temperatures, while ales are fermented at warmer temperatures.
- 2Flavor: Lagers are typically lighter and crisper, while ales are often darker and have a more robust flavor.
- 3Carbonation: Lagers are often highly carbonated, while ales may have less carbonation.
- 4Serving temperature: Lagers are usually served cold, while ales are often served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- 5Brewing time: Lagers take longer to brew than ales due to the low-temperature fermentation process.
Remember this!
Lager and ale are both types of beer made from malted grains, water, hops, and yeast. However, the difference between them lies in their fermentation process, flavor, carbonation, serving temperature, and brewing time. Lagers are fermented at low temperatures, resulting in a lighter and crisper beer that is often highly carbonated and served cold. Ales, on the other hand, are fermented at warmer temperatures, resulting in a darker and more robust beer that is often served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
