What's the difference between lagers and pilsners? |
|
Is a pilsner a type of lager or is there a difference?

1. Anyone who knows the answer, is not someone you want to drink a beer with. |
|
Beer is not something that needs to be taken that seriously.

3. Oh, no reflection on you having asked the question, you know that. |
|
Just taking the opportunity to post a snooty and absolutely uncalled-for comment.

5. You wouldn't have a beer with me? |
|
A lager is any bottom fermented beer. A pilsner is a bottom fermented beer that has more bittering hops added to it.
All pilsners are lagers, but not all lagers are pilsners.
:hide:
I don't take beer that seriously. Hell, I'm drinking a Corona Light currently. It's just one of those useless random factoids that fill my brain and take up room that could be put to better use.

7. I view beer the same way I view Mexican food.... |

I enjoy the bastardization of Mexican food that is Taco Bell but I also enjoy the real stuff. The stuff that most anglos don't know about and don't want to know about. I enjoy good beers and can appreciate them for their flavor, taste, and complexity. Still I hate to admit it I enjoy a watery, light beer on a hot day in the summer.

9. Of COURSE I would. As long as you jabber about random factoids; I like |
|
hearing those. I'll jabber my own back, and we'll have a great time.
As any beer-drinking session should devolve, yes?

11. If it doesn't devolve, you're not doing it right. |

Lager is a well attenuated beer brewed in cool conditions using a slow-acting brewers yeast, known as a bottom-fermenting yeast, and then stored (or "lagered") for a period in cool conditions to clear away particles and certain flavour compounds to produce a clean taste. The most popular examples of beer brewed using the lager method are pale lagers, also known as pilsners.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lager
