This is a topic that comes up regularly in conversations, so hopefully writing (typing) it will help me remember: What's the difference between a lager and an ale?
Lagers originated in Germany and are brewed at lower temperatures (40-50°F) and use bottom-fermenting yeast, leading to a mild, crisp, fruity taste.
Ales originated in England and are brewed at higher temperatures (60-75°F) and use top-fermenting yeast, leading to a nutty, often bitter taste. #food
