ABOUT LAGER BEER
We may venture off for a while to explore all the splendour and creativity that the beer industry has to offer, but all roads lead back to the humble lager. A deceptively hard style of beer to brew, lager gets its name from the german word ‘lagern’, which means ‘to store’. The reason for this is because lagers are required to go through a longer maturation period, at near-freezing temperatures, in order to obtain that clean, crisp taste that we associate with the beer style. We most often think of lagers as being light in colour, with a mellow flavour and cleansing bitterness, but the world of lagers is just as diverse as ales. From a light, delicate pilsner and helles, right through to a hearty, malt-forward märzen and dunkel, the world of lagers offers endless possibilities!
