LAGER
Lagers and ales are the two families of beers. The German word Lager means, "to store," and for up to
three months these beers are cold-stored, settling them out, and granting a distinctly clean and
balanced palate. Lager yeast works at the bottom of fermentation vessels and at cold temperatures
(41º- 48º F).
PILSNER
Pilsners are very clean in taste with a mild malt body. Light straw to deep golden in color,
pilsners usually have a floral hop aroma and a dry, finishing bite.
