Beer & Lager

Lager and Ale are both types of beer, the difference being that the yeast used for fermentation of a lager works at a lower, cooler temperature than that of an ale, and sinks to the bottom of the fermentation vessel. Ale yeast works at a higher temperature and rise to the top of the vessel - Lagers are generally "bottom fermented" beers.


Now, having said that, German Kölsch is brewed with a top-fermenting yeast at a warm temperature, but with a cold storage finishing stage - this is a “top fermented” lager. Tegernsee Helles is a yellow beer brewed with “bottom fermenting” yeast - we have one of each for you....
